They make a variety of excellent table top cooking appliances. My wife is Japanese and recommended this rice cooker to me when we started dating. That same rice cooker is still going strong I purchased it in 2006.

I recently was curious about them and did a search to see if there was any newer model or upgrades... still the exact same model and almost the same price is considered one of the best models by multiple reviewers.

That thing is seriously built to last! My wife and I have now named the cooker "Zojirushi sama" as a reward for still making amazing rice 20 years later even after almost daily use.

We also have one of their auto nabe cookers which is going on 15 years old.
