#1
Cuckoo
4.7
(6)
"Had a problem finding a proper south east Asian rice cooker in Europe till a redditor suggested cuckoo."
"Cuckoo is one of the most well known rice cooker brands in South Korea. I've had mine for 10+years."
"This, I have a cuckoo and it is great. Closing in on a decade as well and the thing is like brand new."
"I've been using Cuckoo for 10 years now. It's the best in my opinion."
"We bought a pressure cooking model without IH (Cuckoo CRP-P 1009 S) and I still don't get what we're supposedly missing."
"Cuckoo is a good brand of rice maker."
#2
Tiger
4.6
(5)
"My mom gave me her Tiger. It’s 33 years old and still works."
"Tiger, Zojirushi, Cuckoo"
"Tiger. I’ve had others…Tiger"
"My dad has a Tiger rice cooker and he likes it."
"Tiger is another answer, that isn't necessarily wrong; especially for 1/4 the price."
#3
Zojirushi
4.5
(4)
"That’s why I spent extra for the Zojirushi with the heavy-duty bowl, also feel like it cooks even more evenly."
"I knew some who lived in Japan and they sent us a 220v zojirushi that I am very happy with. Makes the best jasmine and sushi rice I've ever tried."
"This 5.5-cup (uncooked) capacity rice cooker utilizes advanced Neuro Fuzzy logic technology to adjust cooking parameters for optimal results."
"I'm also pretty upset that Zojirushi make repair and spare parts so incredibly difficult in the UK."
#4
Yum Asia
4.3
(4)
"Brought the Sakura when it was their first and only model in like 2017, still cooks rice like the first day I got it."
"If your rice cooker has a GABA function then normal long grain brown rice will be okay."
"Yum Asia exists, the rice cooker market needed disruption, and I'm glad you could do it."
"Yum Asia has been fine to cook it, but while the zojirushi was fine for a few days, yum Asia is a one sitting - MAYBE lunch and dinner - and then toss or refrigerate what’s left."
#5
One Day
4.7
(3)
"Taipei from One Day and Sweet Farewell from Strangers Parfumerie are both beautiful."

#6
YumAsia
4.7
(3)
"Very satisfied with it, so far made short grain sushi rice, brown riceberry rice and basmati, all came out perfectly and the preset + keep warm function is super convenient."
"I’ve had the bigger and now the smaller YumAsia model and have found it excellent quality and value all round."
"We’re really happy with our smaller YumAsia one (the Panda), although we only use it once or twice a week."
#7
