~$250: I hate kitchen appliances, but I got a Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy rice cooker and that is the best thing I've ever had. It works perfectly, if you set it to have rice ready by a clock, it will be ready at that time. It makes happy music. I use it multiple times a week.

It was clearly built by engineers with love and passion.

Also have used one for over 5 years and it’s awesome. It can also make the best steel cut oatmeal I’ve ever had. Just measure it with the white rice cup, porridge mode setting, and let it sit over night on timer mode, wake up to perfectly cooked steel cut oats.

Almost about to reach the 5 year mark with ours, its used almost every single day (the exception are when we're out of town, which is pretty rare!)

The non-stick coating is starting to wear out in ours, probably about time to replace that one part, but its still going strong!
