With kids out of the house, we were looking for a smaller rice cooker - this was perfect! And much better than the larger CUCKOO unit we have used for the past 10 years (no complaints here, as old unit functioned properly for all these years, used almost everyday for 10+ years).

Easy to use and great rice cooker.

This rice/ pressure cooker is the perfect small size for quick meals, it’s better quality, all in one pot steamer. Most meals come out within 30 mins. Once you’re use to function and switch over to English everything is easy and you’re ready to go. My husband love the smell of all the delicious food that come out of here.

I bought this in nov 2020 and has been using it regularly. Make really good rice and save a lot of times compared to other rice cookers. Today the touchscreen stopped replying to any command. There is no error code showed. Great brand but if it only last for two years I don’t know if it is worth the money

Purchased for my mom, to have an upgraded rice cooker. She loves it, and I love the rice when I visit.Honestly, we did a lot of research and narrowed down to. 3 options. All CUCKOO brandShe’s so happy to have it on her counter, reminds me of the KDramas.

Se lo regalé a mi mamá porque se descompuso su arrocera de hace 8 años, valen cada peso, son duraderos, fáciles de limpiar y la calidad del arroz es sobresaliente, les recomiendo que compren las que dicen IH, en realidad si no consumen mucho arroz entre un modelo a otro que sea de IH no notarán la diferencia, hice este regalo porque mis papás son coreanos y consumen arroz todos los días. Entonces usan granos distintos y así y ésta tiene como 17 funciones además del arroz blanco. Es la segunda arrocera que regalo en mi familia con IH y tanto mi hermano como mi mamá están muy contentos con el salto de calidad. Si es marca Cuckoo o Cuchen, y dicen IH, son las más utilizadas en corea. Por algo son las más vendidas, se los recomiendo ampliamente.

This is the best investment in a kitchen tool since the stand mixer. Love the ease of use and quickness to amazing rice.

I purchased this as a gift for a friend. I had bought the same pot for a little over a year now. The rice tasted so good it makes the restaurant’s rice taste bad. Good quality, easy to use. Love the multi cook and self clean function. The only complain I have is the price.

In America, Zojirushi has been the well-deserving gold standard in rice cookers for a long time, and I had used their highest end pressure cooking model for quite a few years with excellent results. But I had one serious regret after buying it, all because I didn't check the specs before purchase: Zoji's very expensive pressure rice cookers are essentially no faster than the much cheaper non-pressure models. White Japanese rice is still close to an hour, brown rice almost 90 minutes and GABA rice clocks in at about 3.5 hours. I ended up making rice--especially brown and GABA--much less often that I wanted because the cooking time would delay dinner too long, especially during the work week.When I first looked at the specs for this Cuckoo Pressure Rice Cooker, two things blew me away: first, the price! Wow--it makes Zoji look like a bargain! But second, the SPEED: white rice in under a half-hour (with an even faster "Turbo speed" available) and brown rice in about 50 minutes. (GABA, however, is not that much faster at 3 hours.) For that kind of speed--which meant I would use my rice cooker a lot more often--I decided to sell my Zoji and take the price plunge on the Cuckoo. And it was SO worth it!The first thing I noticed was build quality--the Zoji was perfectly fine, but this Cuckoo is built like a tank and it's big. The smaller 6 cup size, which I have, is as big or bigger than the Zoji 10-cup. As for speed, it was sometimes even faster than the specified times.But speed would mean nothing if either taste and texture were compromised here, and that's not the case here. In fact, the GABA brown rice is the best rice I've ever tasted at home, period. As for white and brown rice, I'd call it a draw with the Zoji. Some may have a preference for one or the other, but that will be a matter of personal taste rather than a true qualitative difference between the two machines.So why four stars and not five? There's one area where Zoji trounces the Cuckoo. Because Zoji has been serving the American market for so long, it's easy to find tried and true instructions for cooking virtually any kind of rice you want to prepare. Cuckoo, by comparison, is a relative newcomer to the U.S. market, so that kind of information is non-existent for their cookers. I've been using Zoji instructions for wild rice and other non-Asian varieties, but results are hit and miss because they are very different machines. Another sign of this newness to the American market is the English language instruction manual, where the clarity of directions leaves a lot to be desired. I'm pretty technically minded and still found the learning curve steep. Once you get the English language navigation on the rice cooker turned on, it gets a lot easier--but just changing the language requires googling for instructions on how to do that.So there you have it: the mostly excellent summary of what you get with this Cuckoo rice cooker, along with its few flaws. Whether it and its price tag are for you is only something that you can decide. I hope you find my review helpful in making a buying decision.
