Tiger Rice Cooker - 20 years and still going strong
If you're comparing apples to apples, [the one switch Tiger rice cooker with the flower design](https://www.tiger-corporation.com/en/usa/product/rice-cooker/jnp-0550-1000-1500-1800/) compared to the [one switch Zojirushi rice cooker with the flower design,](https://store.zojirushi.com/products/nsrpc) they're pretty much literally equal. I for the life of me couldn't tell the difference between rice cooked in either of them. There's only two differences between them. The Tiger has a retractable cord that winds back up into the unit itself, whereas the Zojirushi has a detachable cord. The Tiger is made in Japan (although made in China models may exist too) whereas the Zojirushi is made in Thailand. So unless you strongly prefer one cord design over the other (Both cord designs are fantastic and will literally last you decades) or are only considering buying a Made in Japan rice cooker, the Tiger with the flower design or the Zojirushi with the flower design are literally equal.
