5Review of my new rice cooker  Apr 14, 2009
By Maggie Mae "Spirit"
I did a lot of research prior to choosing the Zojirushi rice cooker and luckily for me by the time I was ready to purchase the company had come out with this model NS-VGC05 which is very compact and perfect for one person or even two. It does an amazing job of cooking the rice to perfection. The instructions were easy to follow especially for being a novice. I am anxious to try the different settings for different rices and cakes. I called the company to find out about the built in clock. The instructions did not explain whether you have to have the unit plugged in to recharge the clock. The answer is that you do not have to have it plugged in. It is a lithium battery that has a 5-6 year life and then you would call the company directly to have it replaced.
The clean up was really easy again by following the instructions. I highly recommend this product. It is definitely worth the money paid!!!

4Way worth it.  Apr 08, 2010
By James Imamoto
I am Japanese/American, and have eaten steamed rice all my life. Have owned a rice cooker almost all of my adult years. This is my second Zojurishi cooker. Owning a Zojurishi is so way worth it. Why? It just plain cooks the rice as well as it can be made. I few years ago, I relocated to a far away local and eventually purchased a run of the mill rice cooker, and never liked it. Finally purchased another Zojurishi and now think I was silly for the time I did not have it. Full features and cooking options are cool too. The only draw back on my current model is that it does not have a run off for excess condensation, like my other one had. This does not affect the quality of my rice, just a noticeable difference. I shopped and Amazon offered an excellent price with free shipping. No brainer.

5Very good cooker  Nov 30, 2009
By amzfan
This cooker works very well. The rice cooks perfectly and does not stick to the container making it very easy to clean. The main cooker is designed well. There is a small indention around the opening to collect the steam. Although it takes 45 minutes to cook the rice, it's well worth it.

5awesome cheesecake! yes, you heard correctly!  Nov 05, 2010
By hike2day
My boyfriend bought this cooker - it rocks! He's made two cheesecakes with it (follow the recipe in the enclosed booklet) and both were awesome! Rice is perfect, as others have noted, but the cheesecake is tasty and fluffy enough that I'd say that alone is worth the price of the cooker! Will try the spongecake recipe soon! A good investment - small enough to carry easily and share with a friend...boyfriend just said you can carry it from bar to bar!
Buy one and enjoy great sushi rice and cheesecake in the same night - same cooker!

5The best rice cooker there is.  Nov 17, 2010
By Samantha Lewis
I'm no stranger to rice cookers, I eat rice every day, I've had them for most of my adult life. My former rice cooker was a Panasonic fuzzy logic cooker, it was great, it lasted over 12 years and always made great rice, but the nonstick was flaking off the inside bowl and it was time to retire it. The new Zojirushi NS-VGC05 is hands down the best rice cooker ever, the rice is always perfect, the design and construction are top notch. You simply can't find a better rice cooker, the Zojirushi is perfect.
