I do not have much to add that have not already be say . I have own this rice cooker now for 7 + year now -lrb- it be actually my first non college textbook purchase from Amazon -rrb- and it be perfect . it work great for 1-3 people , and I have never have any issue with it that be not cause by my own mistake of measurement . I will say that sometimes you have to figure out the best combination of water level\/cooking set for the rice you be try to cook , but once you have get it the way you like it the Zojirushi cook it consistently every time . I also have not have issue with the nonstick coating of the bowl except for a few scratch cause by someone use a metal spoon to scrape rice from the bottom , even they be minor though . overall a amazing product !
