Anyway, I am tempted to take the plunge and get a Zojirushi. We eat rice about every other day. All the reviews claim that induction is the way to go. I long for the perfectly cooked rice I used to enjoy in Japan. The Sanyo has been a workhorse, but I am tired of rice that is either mushy or dry.
My zojirushi had at least 5 years of use when I received it also. A roommate gave it to me when he moved out and I packed that thing everywhere. If you eat rice that much it's well worth it. The one Gidget and I have now is just a cheap automatic one. It seems to take much longer to cook than my old one. And it seems to brown some rice on the bottom each time.
