Product Description

Decorated with delicately drawn and colored flowers, this 700-watt appliance cooks up to 10 cups of rice and then automatically keeps the rice at the proper temperature for up to 12 hours. A locking lid ensures rice stays fresh and moist. Lights indicate whether the unit is in "cook" or "warm" mode, and turning on the cooker requires nothing more than pushing a lever. A nonstick coating on the cooking pan prevents rice from sticking, and the pan can be lifted out of the unit for cleanup. To eliminate clutter on the counter or in storage the power cord retracts under the unit. The cooker measures 12-1/8 inches in diameter and 12-7/8 inches high, and comes with a spatula, spatula holder, and measuring cup.

5The floral print is key
By C. Han
Growing up in an Asian family, we weren't about to mess around with cheap crumby rice cookers. The Zojirushi 10 cups through the years have kept me well fed for 25 years. If you treat it well (i.e. no metal on the nonstick), they'll last forever. If you don't eat rice every day or don't have a large family, this unit might be overkill. You may think about a 4 or 5 cup. You can, of course, buy this one too. My mom owns 3 rice cookers. If you ever go to an Asian food market, you'll see that practically every rice cooker comes in floral print. I don't trust a rice cooker without flowers on the side. =)

PRO:Easy perfect rice every timeCan feed a small armyComes with everything except rice and waterWill last forever with a little careFloral print

CON:Not for people living aloneYou need to know how to make riceKinda pricy, but worth it if you eat a lot of rice

5Good rice every time.
By John Tilelli MD
It is surprising how much rice my family uses. When I leave work and pick up the kids, I am already scheming to find a way to put a meal on the table in 15 minutes. Rice is a pretty versatile choice, so it finds its way to the menu two or three times a week. Make a little sushi on Saturday, and suddenly one is going through five pounds or so a month. Sad to say, though, it requires a bit of attention. Get distracted by the chicken, and, oops, there goes the side dish! Comes Zojirushi to the rescue with foolproof rice. Rinse a couple of cups of rice, add water, and push one button. Minutes later, the rice is ready with the dinner. The texture is good, and the machine keeps the rice warm without burning it. Two cups or ten cups cook up equally well. Cleanup is a sanp, as the bowl slides out easily. A handy self-retreacting cord keeps it compact when I put it away later. One caution: keep the kids away from the vent while it is on, lest they are burned by the steam. I keep my ricemaker handy on the shelf, next to my bread machine, also a Zojirushi. The two of them are my favorite, and most often used, kitchen time-savers.

5The only option!
By Janey Lee
My mother has been using hers for 20 years. I own this rice cooker and its the only one I would ever buy. Its good for korean style short grain rice which is really sticky. Western style long grain rice works well too. Once I made a paella in it and it was not bad! You can also add pre-soaked beans to your rice.

I think the new "fuzzy logic" models are not worthwhile. I just want to put in the rice and cook it!

There is only one button, so its easy to use. Use the measuring cup that comes with it and then add water up to the corresponding line on the inside of the bowl. For instance, for 3 cups of rice, put water up to the 3 cup line. I prefer moister rice so I add more water, like a 1/2 measure more. The chinese method of adding water to the first knuckle of your finger works too.

Another tip, this is an awesome non stick bowl, but it scrathes really easily. NEVER EVER, put a fork or even a spoon in it. Use the spatula that comes with it. Also never scrub it, wash with a little soap and soft sponge. I mean it, never scrub or you will ruin it right away.

I agree with the other reviewer, its all about the retractable power cord. Why dont all appliances have this?

5Excellent
By J. Leigh
Pros:- non-stick surface makes it extremely easy to clean. Charred food debris just slides off the surface.- base of the unit is made of plastic and acts as an insulator so there is no need to put anything under it to protect your tabletop.- safety mechanism built in so that grill cannot be operated without drip pan.- takes only 10 minutes to heat up fully.- grill is a heavy cast iron so holds heat well. I have seen other similar grills by companies like Sanyo and only Zojurushi uses a heavy cast iron grill.- heats very well. Grills meat very fast.- no smoke generated- not sure why, but there just isn't any.Cons:- none so far.Notes:- if you want to grill vegetables, I'd recommend coating them with some oil before putting them on the grill, otherwise the veges tend to get dry.- power cable is short, so make sure you have an extension cable handy.

5Is it hot enough for you?
By Kiwi
Yes, it is....That is the problem with all the other electric grills on the market...they just don't get hot enough. This one does and I think it is just smashing !! I can control the temperature, it heats evenly and leaves nice grill marks on the food.....It is perfect for someone like me who does not have time to wait around for a charcoal fire to heat up and does not particularily like gas grills..... From onions to eggplant and shrimp to steak, this little cookery has lovingly seared my heart....It's just great !! It is certainly worth owning and I can highly recommend it to everyone !!

4Zojirushi Electric Grill CC15 - Quality Product
By Mark
The Zojirushi EB-CC15 Indoor Electric Grill is a great indoor grill, and a large part of the reason my friend got me this one was due to the Amazon reviews. At first I was somewhat skeptical, since most similar products are significantly marked down from list price. But after spending a month really using this guy, I have become a believer. Zojirushi's reputation is well deserved!Pros:+ Great performance from the grill with a variety of meats and veggies+ Detachable power cord provides safety and easier storage+ Non-stick surface really works!+ The lower reservoir catches excess fat and makes clean up easy+ The size is perfect for grilling large quantities at once+ The surface seems better designed for even grilling with wider bars than other units+ The surface definitely is more durable than others like the Forman Grill+ There is still some smoking, but it is very little and does lessen with more frequent useCons:- Must be cleaned carefully because it cannot be fully submerged- Limited temperature settings (low, medium, high), though not a big deal- Still costs a premium relative to other indoor grillsOther Considerations- You should be careful not to use metal utensils that could scratch or erode the surface- While cleaning is easy because of the good surface, it does take a little time- Because of the large grilling area, this will take up some countertop room- If you don't want any smoking, use a lower heat settingSetting this thing up the first time is very easy. The bottom try is stainless steel and cleans easily. When you place the grill on top, you have to line it up properly with the base and the connectors for the power element which plugs into the heating element.I did notice that the meats I cooked smoked a little the first few weeks I used it. Obviously, if you set it to high, foods will cook quicker but also smoke slightly more. Interestingly, it seems to smoke less now. Perhaps the non-stick surface just needed to be *seasoned* or burned in a little more. It will still smoke a little, but definitely not too much.Cleaning it is easy, but it does take a little time. Read and follow the instructions! You can remove the catch tray and clean it normally, but you can't submerge the grill portion because it has the heating element inside of it. Once you get used to it you should have no problems cleaning up.Comparing To The AlternativesI have used grill pans like the Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Square Grill Pan on the stove, but they seem to not work as well or cook as evenly as this. Also, this is just more convenient for grilling a larger quantity at once.I have also used the George Foreman GRP4 Next Grilleration 4-Burger Grill with Removable Plates, White in the past, which are not bad but they tend to be messier and the non-stick surface definitely seemed to not work as well and chip away with normal use. In addition, the Sanyo HPS-SG3 200-Square-Inch Electric Indoor Barbeque Grill, Black is a little less money but has thinner grill bars and not as good of a reputation. The Delonghi BG24 Perfecto Indoor Grill was also an option, but I am glad I got the Zojirushi.After using this for a while, I think this is a great price for a very well made and solid unit.This is a great product. Give it a try.Enjoy!

5Well worth the money
By A Customer
I hesitated to buy this printer because of the price, but now that I have it, I don't regret my decision at all. I read reviews for almost every printer and printer/fax/copier combo out there. Taking everything into consideration, this looked like the best printer. So far, it has been far superior to the HPs and Epsons I've used in the past.

I love the individual ink tank idea, although I haven't had it long enough to change any tanks yet. Some people complain that the tanks are small. Yes, they are a bit smaller than many others, but there are six of them, so the total amount of ink appears to be much more than the printers with one or two tanks.

There is indeed a Print Preview option in the Properties window on the "Main" tab. I have used it and it works great.

The print quality is awesome, especially on photo paper. I had to do some color tweaking on some of the pictures, but that was due to poor lighting in the digital photo. It prints black and white or sepia photos beautifully with no adjustments. I've seen some complaints that the black and white text on regular paper is fuzzy, but I printed my tax returns, and it looked better than my Epson ever printed anything.

Setup was easy and the software is so far the best part. There are three programs altogether, but the Canon ZoomBrowser EX is my favorite so far. It allows me to see a thumbnail of all of my digital photos, and organize them into folders. I can also print index prints or scrapbook pages or just arrange one or several photos onto one sheet. Before, I only had Adobe PhotoDeluxe, which forces you to open your photos one at a time--there are no thumbnails, so if you're file names aren't descriptive, you don't know what you are opening. The ZoomBrowser EX opens Adobe PhotoDeluxe for me so I can edit the photos directly from that program--so I can see all my photos, and choose which ones to edit or enhance.

Another bonus: the printing is very fast. The Epson I used to have (it now sits in the garage) warmed up or cleaned the print heads every time I used it after sitting idle (taking often 2-5 minutes). This drastically cut the print time, since I didn't use the printer that often. This Canon prints without having to warm up, even after sitting idle. It's a wonderful thing.

5Beautiful prints, reliable, and a print preview too!
By Den
The other reviews here say it well. I switched to the S9000 after tiring of wasting half of every color ink cartridge on cleaning cycles on my Epson. The S9000's been 100% reliable, without a single clog. Photo quality is on par with Epson's -- that is, superb. And the printer driver's been updated since the spotlight review was written -- this version does include a Print Preview feature. The 13x19 prints are absolutely stunning! And this thing is amazingly fast.

Just two downsides. First, you need to be sure to use the right paper. With Canon Photo Paper Pro or Epson's papers, prints look fantastic. With Kodak and some other brands, the ink pools and you get a "spotty" appearance. Second, the printer won't do borderless prints at 13x19. The borderless 8x10 and 4x6 prints look great, though.

5Excellent quality, extremely user-friendly!
By Sandy S.
This was the first photo printer I have ever purchased, and got it because of the large-format printing ability. I had it narrowed down to the Epson 1280 and the Canon S9000, and after reading an excellent review discussing these very 2 printers (such luck!), I chose the Canon for "slightly superior photo quality". Epson is well-known for its printers, but Canon apparently has become quite the competitor, just from what I've read and researched. (I recommend checking out Steve's Digicams wesite for some in-depth reviews if you are interested.)

I ordered this printer on a Friday evening with ground shipping. It arrived Tuesday afternoon. Kudos to Amazon and UPS for making the delivery quicker than I imagined possible.

Ok, so I opened the box and everything was there, so far so good. Set-up was easy, a la Canon (I also have a G2 camera), BUT be warned, there is no USB cable included to attach the printer to your computer! I knew this to be the case and had an extra one so it was no big deal, but Canon, what's the deal with that?!? You couldn't supply a simple little cable with your printer? Go figure.

I went ahead and printed a "test shot" that I found on PhotoDisc.coms' website. They have a few excellent test photos available for this purpose - download is free. This particualar photo had every color imaginable, flesh tones, black and white, every day objects (fruit, flowers, stamps, colored pencils, you get the idea). Every object was printed with incredible color accuracy and detail. So far so good.

I went on to print some headshots I had taken of me w/ my G2 that I had photoshopped. Again, excellent detail, color representation, etc etc etc! I printed about 10 8x11 shots, and all are vibrant, beautiful, crisp - everything I would expect from a photo lab (who, btw, printed one of my headshots last week **too dark** - and they wonder why we customers are getting all savvy with our OWN digital darkrooms!)

I have only used Canon Photo Pro paper and Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy. I will be trying out the large-format papers as soon as I'm sure I know what I am doing (so I don't waste paper, which yes, is expensive, but well worth it in my opinion).

I did experience some banding on one shot, but realized that I had not set the paper settings correctly in the dialog box before sending the print to the printer. I re-set them for the correct paper, re-printed, and voila! A perfect print. My fault, not Canon's. :)

I will update this if I experience problems, as of now however this printer is going to be an incredible investment and I am SO pleased to have made this purchase!
