I don't think you guys understand the awesomeness of this rice cooker.
Zojirushi makes the coolest appliances. On average they are more pricey than those no-name cookers/water-heaters/steamers/etc. but they are aesthetically attractive, have very intuitive button/feature layouts, last forever (my ex still has her water heater she had for her dorm at university almost 20 years later), and of course they have that super-cute elephant mascot! ^^
By comparison, I bought one of those budget rice cookers for under $15 USD thinking "well it only has to cook rice no?" LOL after the first month it melted one of the plastic legs on its own housing and became so lopsided it was unusable. :p
