CUCKOOCRP-DHSR0609FD 6-Cup (Uncooked) / 12-Cup (Cooked) Induction Heating Pressure Rice Cooker with Nonstick Inner Pot, 21 Menu Modes, Fuzzy Logic Tech, 3 Voice Guide, Auto Clean (Dark Grey)

This rice/ pressure cooker is the perfect small size for quick meals, it’s better quality, all in one pot steamer. Most meals come out within 30 mins. Once you’re use to function and switch over to English everything is easy and you’re ready to go. My husband love the smell of all the delicious food that come out of here.

With kids out of the house, we were looking for a smaller rice cooker - this was perfect! And much better than the larger CUCKOO unit we have used for the past 10 years (no complaints here, as old unit functioned properly for all these years, used almost everyday for 10+ years).

Purchased for my mom, to have an upgraded rice cooker. She loves it, and I love the rice when I visit.Honestly, we did a lot of research and narrowed down to. 3 options. All CUCKOO brandShe’s so happy to have it on her counter, reminds me of the KDramas.

Product does not light up and no voice talk.

In America, Zojirushi has been the well-deserving gold standard in rice cookers for a long time, and I had used their highest end pressure cooking model for quite a few years with excellent results. But I had one serious regret after buying it, all because I didn't check the specs before purchase: Zoji's very expensive pressure rice cookers are essentially no faster than the much cheaper non-pressure models. White Japanese rice is still close to an hour, brown rice almost 90 minutes and GABA rice clocks in at about 3.5 hours. I ended up making rice--especially brown and GABA--much less often that I wanted because the cooking time would delay dinner too long, especially during the work week.When I first looked at the specs for this Cuckoo Pressure Rice Cooker, two things blew me away: first, the price! Wow--it makes Zoji look like a bargain! But second, the SPEED: white rice in under a half-hour (with an even faster "Turbo speed" available) and brown rice in about 50 minutes. (GABA, however, is not that much faster at 3 hours.) For that kind of speed--which meant I would use my rice cooker a lot more often--I decided to sell my Zoji and take the price plunge on the Cuckoo. And it was SO worth it!The first thing I noticed was build quality--the Zoji was perfectly fine, but this Cuckoo is built like a tank and it's big. The smaller 6 cup size, which I have, is as big or bigger than the Zoji 10-cup. As for speed, it was sometimes even faster than the specified times.But speed would mean nothing if either taste and texture were compromised here, and that's not the case here. In fact, the GABA brown rice is the best rice I've ever tasted at home, period. As for white and brown rice, I'd call it a draw with the Zoji. Some may have a preference for one or the other, but that will be a matter of personal taste rather than a true qualitative difference between the two machines.So why four stars and not five? There's one area where Zoji trounces the Cuckoo. Because Zoji has been serving the American market for so long, it's easy to find tried and true instructions for cooking virtually any kind of rice you want to prepare. Cuckoo, by comparison, is a relative newcomer to the U.S. market, so that kind of information is non-existent for their cookers. I've been using Zoji instructions for wild rice and other non-Asian varieties, but results are hit and miss because they are very different machines. Another sign of this newness to the American market is the English language instruction manual, where the clarity of directions leaves a lot to be desired. I'm pretty technically minded and still found the learning curve steep. Once you get the English language navigation on the rice cooker turned on, it gets a lot easier--but just changing the language requires googling for instructions on how to do that.So there you have it: the mostly excellent summary of what you get with this Cuckoo rice cooker, along with its few flaws. Whether it and its price tag are for you is only something that you can decide. I hope you find my review helpful in making a buying decision.

Quite simply, I never tasted better rice, and I tried it at quite a few restaurants.Many people treat rice as second fiddle to the main course, something that only has to be passable and is not expected to be great. This machine allows it to be what it deserves to be: a dish you can thoroughly enjoy on its own.

I purchased this as a gift for a friend. I had bought the same pot for a little over a year now. The rice tasted so good it makes the restaurant’s rice taste bad. Good quality, easy to use. Love the multi cook and self clean function. The only complain I have is the price.

The best rice cooker I have ever experienced! As it's price tag says, this is the best, two hands down. I used to own multiple rice cookers from "Zojirushi" and I always thought their rice cooker is the best but this changed my opinion completely. The rice comes out so silky and tender yet firm enough to feel each grain rolling around on your tongue. It is just amazing how this rice cooker makes the rice like that!
