Tiger JBV-A10U

“I have a tiger that does that too, but THIS tiger, doesn’t. I own this one too. Doesn’t bother me too much bc I always wipe it clean and the steam is so hot for any bacteria to survive in.”

“I got the Tiger one because it was cheaper but the dealbreaker for me was that the timer function doesn't work for regular rice, only for quick rice. Returned it and got a Zojirushi instead”

“I like the simple 4 option button design and are large enough to see/press”

“Maybe it’s just me but I’ve never figured out how to clean the inside top part of the Tiger one. Wish it were easier to remove and put in the dishwasher.”

“I didn’t realize it’s so huge. It’s pretty big. And the rice looks really good.”

“The tiger lid opens slowly and drips water into the rice and makes it mushy. It also doesn't store rice for long and the bottom gets hard and crispy fast. I returned it.”

“If my Tiger broke, I would 100% buy Zojirushi... Tiger was a bit cheaper when I decided to upgrade years back but if I had the chance to buy a new one, Zojirushi is the way to go. But both are great so can't go wrong!”

“I have this rice cooker, love it!”

“Both are fine but note that the inner pots come with coatings. I returned the tiger bc of that (box wasn’t really labeled with any warnings..there’s a QR code that you need to scan to find out).”

“Oh hod I do hate that about the tiger. I almost broke it eh First time I used it trying to clean it. I may return it and the zojirushi because of this”

“it's the best investment I ever made!!”

“Tiger made good steamed rice. My husband couldn’t tell the difference between the quality of rice from Tiger vs. Zojirushi, but I can.”

“It does its job well and my only gripe with it is that the metal inner lid can't be removed for cleaning like on the Zoji.”

“I did, too, as I wanted a smaller rice cooker and took it back because it was not very good compared to my full size zojirushi neuro fuzzy.”

“I switched to Tiger since the Zojirushi pan was thin and the Teflon coating was starting to chip. The Tiger was on sale, felt heavier, and it’s made in Japan. On sale and made in Japan? No-brainer.”

“I have the Tiger and it works very well. It is simple, it has two buttons and 5 or 6 modes. It makes white and brown rice much better than the cooker I had before.”

“I own tiger cause thats all they had and didnt wanna drop 100$ extra. I still love the tiger though but 100% zoji”

“This is my main complaint with the Tiger. I bought mine from Costco a few years ago when they only carried Tiger at the time. The inability to remove the metal lid still bugs me on a regular basis. So my vote is for Zojirushi.”

“Zoji is the superior brand. But the tiger one is excellent for the price.”

“Just returned the tiger a few weeks back and ordered a Zoj, very happy with my decision. I tried to make the tiger work!”

“We’ve had the tiger for 5+ years now and it’s still going strong. Also got it on a sale. But if it ever dies we’ll probably spring for the Zojirushi. I can clean the top part just fine with a damp wipe.”

“our Tiger has been completely great for as long as we’ve had it. If the $50 is a big deal for you, don’t sweat—the Tiger is a perfectly good appliance.”

“then i bought tiger from costco for my friend within a year it kept her rice spoiled after not even a day.”

“The inner metal top doesn’t come off, and there is no condensation/water catch outside of the machine like my older Zojirushi ones had. I feel like that alone makes this machine subpar…. Shouldn’t stuff made in Japan be better? lol that being said, the rice it cooks is great and meets expectations”
