Nice...nice...but Damn! It better be solar powered and keep my rice fresh for a months if I am going to pay an outrageous price like that! Chump change for you John!

Zojirushi is one of the top-end rice cookers and since you and I are both Asian, we need rice all the time :D

This is a freaking expensive rice cooker. I got one for under $40 that even have a baking option in it. I can make cake in it...

until now I didn't have a rice cooker :D I purchase cooked rice outside home. hehe :D

Thats a very expensive pot to just make rice. It better be the best on the planet.

What? $400 for a rice cooker? I can buy few of rice cookers in my country with $400. It's kinda pricey, but John you learned it now, right? So you know $400 is expensive for a rice cooker. :)

Glad I found this post, because we just reviewed this model a couple of weeks ago, along with the small np-htc10 model version. Before posting we wanted to hear what others on the net think of the larger one.

On our site we state that this is only worth it for folks who are going to use it constantly and of course absolutely love their brown rice.

Probably not worth the investment if white rice is on the menu more than harder grain types so as to utilize the IH and GABA benefits.

For white rice, no one should spend more than $100. A Tiger rice cooker is the best route for that at around that price range, but any Aroma model for around $20 is also good (once again...just white rice).

Anyway, helpful blog post here!

You can eat rice 400 times in China with that much money.

Interesting discussion......starting from rice and rice cooker to be long discussion

Expensive yes, but definitely worth its price. We went on the lower end of rice cooker, it cooks but it also occasionally leaks water out the sides.

I would say anywhere between the $100-$200 range is perfect for a rice cooker as it may be the only one that you will ever buy for years.

I bought one for $25.00 and I can honestly say I don't know how I lived without one before that.

I think my next cooker will be a BIG jump.

Like $30!

Is it expensive? I dont guess so . ..

To make your wife happy I think its really really cheap so you better dont complain :-)

Wonder if your wife would ask you for an Aston Martin :)

I hear it rolls the sushi for you. :p

That is one expensive rice cooker! I expect some mind-blowing rice on the table from that. Definitely let us know if it's worth it.

The cooking show America's Test Kitchen on PBS television last Saturday tested rice cookers. Believe it or not, they said thumbs down on the programmable cookers, and voted for an inexpensive brand. But they didn't test your brand, John. Bon appetite !!

I hope you have a very happy day.

Haha, the "Your must be serious about your rice" comment cracked me up.

As for the rice cooker, I say quality over quantity. I've come across rice cookers that are in the $30-60 range & were pure crap. Sometimes you have to pay more for something to work real good.

I also wonder how many of the people saying it's too expensive are living the Dot Com Lifestyle.

TYCP Entertainment Magazine’s last blog post: Courtney Van Dusen Interview

I learn many things about internet marketing from your blog, thank you and good luck...too expensive for me

That is an insane price to pay for a rice cooker, over here I could get the same one for roughly 1800 Baht (about $60).

Ricky Peterson’s last blog post: Tips for Curing Blogger’s Block

oh my my ; $400 for a rice cooker { Equilent to INR 20,000] , we can have a big LCD TV for this amount in INDIA.

I, like you, don't know a thing about rice cookers I cook rice on the stove top... What I do know is that I would not spend $400 on an appliance that doesn't stand alone on the floor (i.e. stove, refrigerator, washer, dryer). Your wife is very fortunate that you don't seem to get rattled about such a purchase; she does indeed have expensive taste buds and now it is NO secret since you tweeted it.

Enjoy the rice John.

Miss Right’s last blog post: Where can I find Private Label Right or Resales right on ebooks, topics on early childhood cultivation?

It is really a very expensive rice cooker. The average price of a rice cooker here is around 20 to 30 US dollars. I don't understand why the manufacturer charge so much money from this cooking equipment.

Charles Roring’s last blog post: Women emancipation Movie in Cuba

I hear that to get a decent one, you really have to spend at least $5000. You got a bargain.

Holy sh*t! $400 is like over 1300 Ringgit Malaysia! That must be a really high-end rice cooker.

Exposing SEO Techniques’s last blog post: “Jakarta Undercover” English Version?

I've cooked rice in a pot, using cheap rice cookers (less than $30) and using a more expensive rice cooker (Tiger brand, less than $100 in Hawaii).

Quality of rice in a pot depends on the rice you use. Problem is you really have to watch it or you can screw it up. Cheap rice cookers only cook, but don't warm. A more expensive rice cooker has the "keep warm" feature which is nice if you don't want to cook rice everyday.

My Tiger is pretty good, but sometimes the rice is not cooked evenly, and the condensation build up makes my rice too wet.

If you want perfect rice all the time, you have to buy the best. Your wife deserves it right!

Peter’s last blog post: My Inspiration and My Motivation

Interesting to say the least. I can cook rice in a regular pot and just use that $400 on buying actual rice. I'm sure this can meet the needs of some, but looks more elaborate than anything else.

Have you tested it out? Did the rice come out any better?? Whats your final verdict John??

Aman@BullsBattleBears’s last blog post: Freebie Monday #21 - Free Birthday Deals!

You know what the thing is John is that yeah its expensive upfront. However, that machine will probably last forever. Happy rice cooking!

Rick Vaughn’s last blog post: Swine Flu Mania!

That would work perfectly with the $200 pair of chop sticks I'm selling.

Oh, but I have to say, the rice scoop that it comes with is the best. "Sticky" rice doesn't even stick to it. Awesomeness!

wow that looks good but eah 440$ is a bit too much

dang!! $400 rice cooker?? you can buy at least 10 ordinary rice cookers with that john, LOL! but as u say, if the wife wants it, no sense in not giving it to her. HAPPY WIFE = HAPPY LIFE! ;-)

iSSa’s last blog post: Swine Flu 101

Yes, it's an expensive cooker but it does make excellent rice. Each grain is perfectly cooked and my friends have commented on how good the rice is. There IS a difference. But is it worth $400? I dunno about that. :)

Hi John,
Just wondering how you did the Twitter screenshot thing? It looks quite useful...
