Tiger 5.5-Cup Micom Rice Cooker and Warmer

Zojirushirice rice cooker's lid can be removed but the attachment "button" holding the lid would break off easily after a few years. About markers problem, we always use measuring cup to measure rice and water. It's more reliable than depending on markers inside the inner pot. //@Anonymous: There are 2 design flaws with this rice cooker that I found to be a deal breaker.
1) Lid cannot be removed to be washed. Have to be wiped down.
2) Water level markers are hardly visible after you put rice and water into the rice pot.

I've had this same Tiger model for about 3 years until the exterior got damaged when I moved. I then brought a Zojirushi, but honestly like my old Tiger better. The Zojirushi cooks rice in about an hour and the tiger cooks in about 25 minutes. I don't notice any difference in the taste or texture of the rice. The lid doesn't come off the Tiger but wiping it down is very easy. I've no issue with the water mark at all. //@anonymous: There are 2 design flaws with this rice cooker that I found to be a deal breaker.
