For cooking white rice it takes 10-15 minutes longer than in other rice cooker.

When the cooking cycle is completed Panasonic rice cooker alerts you with a sound a few times and switches to Keep Warm mode automatically. The lid stays sealed firmly during cooking and opens with a push of a button.
The inner pot has water level markings inside. For example: for 2 cups of uncooked dry rice, fill with water up to line 2. You can adjust the rice firmness to suit your taste. For softer rice add a little more water, for harder rice less water.

Panasonic Fuzzy Logic rice cooker review
Panasonic Fuzzy Logic rice cooker cooks rice to perfection but it takes longer time to cook rice comparing to stove top method and other rice cookers.
The lid is not removable. It need only wipe cleaning. (Older model had removable inner lid)
The inner bowl is easy to clean by hand with warm soapy water. It has large handle for easy lifting and transfer.
It doesn’t have condensation catcher, so if you add more water than recommended it can make a mess.
Panasonic rice cooker is portable and convenient for use at home, work or in a hotel room.
There is other Panasonic 10-cup Fuzzy Logic rice cooker available without Slow cook and Cake options.
