I had a Zojirushi induction cooker NS-ZCC10 for 7 years and looked forward to new inductive heating in this model (one tier higher than my old rice cooker). I have seen here the pros and cons of more induction cookers. There is something not perfect I think, which I want to say needs to improve. First of all, Inductive heating and additional membrane make cooking a bit louder than the old version. Not terribly loud, but comparing to the old model (non-inductive) it is certainly louder. Another annoying part is a hissing sound that happens every minute or so during the keep-warm stage. The cooking pan does not have handles and rotates when you try to scoop rice. The old model had plastic handles, which both - allowed you to hold/lift it with your bare hands and at the same time prevented the pan from spinning when taking the rice out. It is very surprising to see a newer and more expensive model get worse in this regard. The old model had a cable retractor; the new model does not have it. For now, I will continue with the old one.
