I recently purchased this rice cooker during the afterpay sale for $506.59 from the same ebay seller and am really happy with it. Still had it on my watch list and saw the price drop even lower 😭
Prior to owning this I had only ever boiled rice in a pot of water and the difference with using this is huge. Taste and texture are both many times better, but this is the only rice cooker I've used, so cheaper cookers may very well do the exact same job.
I can say that the build quality of this unit is very impressive and cleaning it is very simple. The user interface is a little confusing at first and the manual it comes with is terrible, filled with spelling mistakes and formatting issues like it wasn't proof read at all. So far I have only cooked white rice with the same setting and it's comes out perfect every time.
I am keen to try out its pressure cooking functions for cooking things other than rice but I haven't explored that far with it yet.
Note: Shipping fee may apply to certain states and postcodes. WA: $45.73, Regional NSW $37.27
Update: Previously sold out but the merchant continues to restock in limited quantities.
Great rice cooker. Brought my rice to the nek level
