Review of my new rice cooker5
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!!!

Great purchase!5
I have eaten rice all my life. This rice cooker is great for 1-2 people, and does not leak or dry the rice out.

I always have rice going for any time or day I want to have some.

I highly recommend this product.

Zojirushi NS-VGC05 Micom 3-Cup Electric Rice Cooker and Warmer3
Nice and compact. Too much water dripping from rid and you need to wipe it every time you open the warmer. Older version of rice cooker/warmer had little cup outside to receive warter but this one deposit warter around rim. Wish it had better way to receive escaped warter.
