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”

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

“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.”

“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 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.”

“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 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.”

“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”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“I have had the tiger for 4 or so years now and use it 4-5 times a week to cook rice. I have had no problems with it.”

“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.”

“Run 3 cups of rice through that Tiger cooker daily. Zojirushi is a good option as well. Can’t go wrong with either.”

“Lightly soapy sponge and a towel. The black piece on tap for the steam is magnetic and comes off.”

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

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

“I have the tiger and I love it. I got it for $20 when it was marked down in store. So price also drives my love.”

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