well i have different rice cookers myself, I have checked into the fuzzy logic models, just could not find a good reason to get one, and i like all the bells and whistles, why do you want one? do you cook different kinds of rice? to me that would be the only reason to get one, JerryMB

I have the Zojirushi ZCC18. This is the larger model then the 5 cup you are looking at. It is a fantastic rice cooker. Unlike the cheaper rice cookers, the rice never burns or gets browened on the bottom. You can eat the rice all the way down to the bottom of the pan. The thing I use most on this cooker is the timer. I can prewash the rice in the morning and set it to cook and be ready by the time I get home from work. Saves lots of time. I also like the removeable upper-inner lid. Many of the brands do not have the removable inner lid. So I would imagaine it would be hard to clean without it.

The thing I don't like about it is the nonstick bowl is very fragile. Seems like if I knock the rice paddle on the side, the coating falls off. But if your careful not to use metal utinsels, you'll be ok.

Not sure how much rice you make, but the larger ZCC18 is sometimes cheaper then the ZCC10. I personally think the smaller model is great if you only eat a moderate amount of rice.

I usually make 3 "japanese" cups of rice in my ZCC18 and it works great. I have even tried 1 and 2 cups. Even small amounts for the large rice cooker works well.

Hope this helps.
