I have received some additional information about my Rice Cooker summary
that I thought might be useful to this group.  Here they are:

1.  In my original summary, someone had suggested that you always rinse
rice before cooking it.  Apparently there are different schools of thought
on rice rinsing.  I have always assumed that if you bought rice in a box it
was ready to cook, so I never rinse my rice.  A fellow listmember sent me
this info:

Rinsing white rice before cooking will rinse off all the vitamins, etc.,
that are sprayed on white rice to enrich it.  It's my understanding that
only brown rice should be washed before cooking.  Brown rice isn't enriched,
because it contains the bran, which contains many nutrients not present in
white rice.

2.  I received a few more votes for Zojirushi and also one for Hamilton
Beach rice cookers.

Happy rice cooking,
