When I purchased my Zojirushi the price difference was negligible. What I did not take into account is that the 5 cup will make half a cup of rice but the 10 cup won't make less than a cup.
Oooh, this is a good thread to go along with the recently started farro rice thread. That ability to make 1/2 cup is very important to people, I think.

That's my two cents - take it for what you think its worth - hope it helps.
As for the Micom / fuzzy logic - someone much more technical than I will have to chime in about that - sorry 😕

Me too. Yet I ended up with the non-induction, non-pressure, non-pejorative Made in Japan 5.5 cup Zojirushi. I love the thing. I wanted the ability to make oatmeal and other morning foods (5-grain cereal, etc. etc.)
Like any other piece of equipment we all get our thrills playing with, I'm pretty sure the one I have can be "hacked" to cook a few other things than rice and AM cereal. And like any other piece of equipment we "hack," it will take some playing around with, in terms of settings and amounts of liquid.
I downloaded this book from the library for a few ideas; it possibly has the longest title in existence:
Worth a read.
And I thought my rice cooker was interesting looking, but that red one certainly isn't letting anyone forget it's there - whoa!
I'm sure, like the episode of The Twilight Zone called "The Fever," (about a possessed slot machine) this rice cooker will end up in my nightmares dreams, following me around and making me use it.
