Review: Love it so far - easiest, creamiest oatmeal ever! - I have only had this rice cooker for a couple of days, but have already made rice and oatmeal with great results. I didn't know much about rice cookers, and really doubted that I need one at all until I realized they could be used for other things - like oatmeal. I don't eat rice every day, but I do eat oatmeal every morning. I prefer the long-cooking kind, steel cut or rolled oats, and usually make it in the microwave, which is fine if not special. But recently I have gotten into batch cooking and wanted to make enough to last several days. Not so easy in the microwave. I had tried overnight oats, and discovered that this method is acceptable only if one likes raw, uncooked oats. So, I decided to research rice cookers. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information about batch cooking oatmeal in one, so I had to make a blind purchase. I decided to go for broke and get one with fuzzy logic (why not?) I chose a smaller and cheaper competitor's product first. Wrong decision - no beep at the end of the cycle to let you know it is finished and an thin, cheap-looking inner pot that was too small for cooking more than 3/4 cup of raw oats on the porridge setting. Plus the inside measurement markings were impossible to see once placed in the cooker. Though less expensive than this model, we were still taking a lot of money, so that one went back and I purchased this Zojiruchi 1.8 L model instead. This one is a keeper! Large enough for my 4-days of oatmeal recipe that uses almond milk and a mixture of steel-cut and rolled oats with farro grain thrown in for good measure (makes 4, 12-oz servings.) Perfect, creamy results in about an hour using the porridge setting, and I can do other things during that hour - much better than standing at the stove stirring the pot for at least 30 minutes. No boil-over at all, and super easy clean-up due to the inner pot's non-stick coating and the removable cover plate under the top. I don't write many reviews, just the ones that I might have appreciated reading before making a purchase for a slightly different reason than the usual. Review: Lower price model is worth it - This is all you need in a rice-cooker. I’ve had the more expensive models of Zourjirushi before but am happy with the cheaper one. It is not as heavy or study-feeling as the $200-$300 models but it works great, is light and, as far as I can tell, performs the same as the more expensive models. Very happy with my more economic purchase. Brown rice cooks very nicely. ## Features - Technology: Automatic cooking temperature to time adjustment - Options: Make white/mixed, sushi, porridge, sweet, rinse-free and brown rice - Settings: Convenient keep warm and delay timer settings - Heat Distribution: Thick inner cooking pan ensures even heat distribution - Design: Easy-to-read LCD control panel with clock and detachable cord ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ISPBXJ6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #38,438 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #104 in Rice Cookers | | Brand | Zojirushi | | Brand Name | Zojirushi | | Capacity | 10 cups | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,494 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04974305710161 | | Included Components | Rice cooker, rice spatula, spatula holder and rice measuring cups | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 14.38"D x 11"W x 9.88"H | | Item Weight | 9 pounds | | Lid Material | Stainless Steel | | Manufacture Year | 2012 | | Manufacturer | Zojirushi | | Material | Plastic Outer Body, Non-Stick inner pan, Stainless Lid | | Model Name | NS-WAC18-WD | | Model Number | NS-WAC18-WD | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | BPA-Free Non-Stick Pan, Programmable, Removeable stainless inner lid for cleaning | | Part Number | NS-WAC18-WD | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash | | Product Dimensions | 14.38"D x 11"W x 9.88"H | | UPC | 092619650721 737079446438 722651283334 | | Voltage | 110 volts | | Wattage | 700 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Zojirushi - **Capacity:** 10 cups - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Product Care Instructions:** Hand Wash - **Product Dimensions:** 14.38"D x 11"W x 9.88"H ## Images ![Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer (10-Cup/Cool White) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51j3C67b6dL.jpg) ![Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer (10-Cup/Cool White) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61csNy72iwL.jpg) ![Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer (10-Cup/Cool White) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dH-cKet5L.jpg) ![Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer (10-Cup/Cool White) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617RBTQIJlL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: where is this made?** A: The company is Japanese. The cooker itself is made in China. **Q: Which one is better the Tiger brand or Zojirushi brand. And What is the product number that is made in Japan . Made in china is not good in review.** A: I got the Zojirushi brand and have been using it since the day I bought it in September 2011. I've been using it almost everyday and never had any issues at all. Still to this day works like a charm. Given I never figured out how to set the clock on it but that's just my fault lol. Sadly can't tell you witch product number is the one that's made in Japan. Didn't even realize their was 2 versions of it. **Q: how many days can this thing keep rice warm without spoiling it - a little brown top is okay ?** A: Thank you for your review. The NS-WAC18 is designed to keep the rice fresh on Keep Warm for a maximum of 12 hours. We would recommend eating the rice within 12 hours to enjoy fresh and delicious rice.

I eat rice all day, everyday, unlike most people who might eat rice once a month. You want reviews from real Asians, not some wannabee. I've bought this unit twice, with the second time upgrading to the 10+ cup one (5 kids now). Both cooks rice perfectly, and lasts for days, initially anyways. However, after a few years, the rice started getting crusty on the sides next to the walls, sometimes just hours after cooking. HOW TO FIX THIS??? I noticed the black rubber part on the inside roof door that keeps the steam from going out shrank over the years. See images. It used to cover the sides of the circular disc at the top. It has a gap now. To resolve, I simply opened the very top and placed a piece of aluminum foil over the hole. I didn't secure it or make anything airtight. I simply placed a piece of aluminum foil over it to reduce the amount of humidity that escapes. Problem solved. Now it's like new, rice staying moist without side crustiness for days again. EDIT: I notice as the top door flips repeatedly, the aluminum foil becomes loose so I've decided to put a large double layer of aluminum foil covering the entire area. This works much better now. Rice can go for 2+ days before showing and crusting like when brand new. See final image. ## Frequently Bought Together - Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer (10-Cup/Cool White) - Inomata Plastic Japanese Rice Washing Bowl with Side and Bottom Drainers - Nishiki Premium Rice, Medium Grain,15 Pound (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/8705164-zojirushi-micom-rice-cooker-and-warmer-10-cup-cool-white](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/8705164-zojirushi-micom-rice-cooker-and-warmer-10-cup-cool-white) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
