Second this. There’s a reason you find them and nothing else in all corners of Asian society. I fucking love mine and rarely needs to be cleaned heavily outside the Teflon pot
Interesting that thing looks like it has a pretty tight seal around the interior pot. How is it with getting rice water crust around the hinge the plastic channel around the lid? Mine is always getting nasty, and it’s hard to get into those tight spaces to clean.
We have a simple one (push a single button and walk away style) and love it. It’s not that much different from the cheap $20 we got at the store, but the quality of the insert is much higher.
Virtually any model of Zojirushi. It pretty much is the Japanese standard of excellence when it comes to rice cookers.

I’ve had mine for 4 years, and never had to really clean anything except the interior removable pot and pressure lid. And that takes all of 2-3 mins.
