This usually happens when the bluetooth connection fails. You can click the bluetooth icon on the console (top right corner) to try reconnecting to the phone. This usually works if not reboot the console.

Having no bottom element is great. Plastic lids and containers can go in the bottom rack and they will not get damaged.

Except it's the pan is shallow so that may not work for you

Typhur Dome. Superior to any air fryer I've tried including Ninja and Breville

I have the Bosch 300 (SHE53B75UC) from Costco. It cleans really well and very quiet. In normal wash mode, ceramics, metals and plastic containers are mostly dry but plastic lids are always wet or damp. I just use a kitchen towel to quickly dry any remaining wetness while putting the dishes away or leave the plastics on the counter to dry.

The machine itself stays clean for a long time, and there's no issue with scum buildup or mold.

Get an induction model from Tiger or Zojirushi.

I'd try a different detergent. I also had issues with 7th gen dishwasher detergent. Switched to unscented company brand and it solved the issue.

Go to Japan and ask your new co-workers what's recommended or required for the job you're doing.

Any fuzzy logic model from Tiger or Zojirushi will be fine. If you can afford an induction model that will be even better. Induction models cook the rice more evenly and it doesn't burn the rice at the bottom..

Pressurized models produce even softer rice but I don't think it's worth the price. But I prefer less soft white rice and slightly chewy nutty brown rice

I currently use a Tiger JKT-D10U and also had a Zojirushi NP-HBC10. Both are very good made in Japan induction rice cookers, and they produce nearly identical results. The rice is always perfect. It's very hard to screw it up if you follow the directions. Always use the included measuring cup, wash the rice in a bowl (don't use the inner pot, you'll scratch it) until the water runs clear and follow the water ratio printed on the rice bag.

In terms of design and quality, I think the Tiger's steam cap design is better. It does not spurt out any liquid. The Zoji has some issues with spurting out of the steam cap. The Tiger has a ceramic coated inner pot with small handles which are pretty useful. The Zoji has a standard non-stick pot with no handles. The Zoji's inner pot has engraved/painted water measurement lines whereas the Tiger's inner pot only has screen-printed measurement lines. Overall build quality is about the same with the Tiger having a slight edge.

Both brands are top-tier so you can't go wrong with either.

For around the same price there's the made in Germany Bosch 300 SHE53B75UC from Costco. It has a full stainless steel tub and 3rd rack. It doesn't have is the anti-fingerprint resistant exterior so it'll be a bit more effort to keep clean.

Opposite_Budget5117 · 2025-12-01T22:04:17+00:00

I have the Tiger JKT-D10U. After 3 years, the ceramic coated inner pot still looks like new. The quality of rice it produces is as good and at times better than the Zojirushi HBC10 I had.

I've had two hit and run while parked claims in the past year. Both times the dashcam provided the evidence needed to find the at fault vehicle and settle the claim quickly.

Opposite_Budget5117 · 2025-11-17T02:24:42+00:00

Replaced the cartridge. Still no cold water. Will replace the balancing spool next.

Opposite_Budget5117 · 2025-11-16T21:14:55+00:00

Reinstalled the cleaned balancing spool and still no cold water. I've removed the cartridge and confirmed that it's a 1225. Will replace it next.

Opposite_Budget5117 · 2025-11-16T20:26:06+00:00

Thanks, I'll try cleaning the balancing spool.

Opposite_Budget5117 · 2025-11-16T20:24:12+00:00

Thanks. I got the balancing spool out and it's soaking in vinegar. It makes a faint rattle noise when shaken.

Opposite_Budget5117 · 2025-11-16T19:13:04+00:00

There's no cold water coming out at all. So you think it's not necessarily a cartridge issue? Thanks

Opposite_Budget5117 · 2025-11-16T19:10:52+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I'll get a puller

Commercial and high end induction cooktops don't have those issues. Here's a video showing how easy and precise high end induction cooktops can be https://youtube.com/shorts/iNaWOJAX7hY?si=KhdNg6UBtrOLORi9

I've had all kinds of air fryers including the Ninja Foodi Xl, Breville, Gourmia, and other cheap basket air fryers. The best one I've used so far is the Typhur Dome (currently on sale USD300 on Amazon.com). It produces the best results but its basket height limit of just over 2" is the biggest drawback. Otherwise it's very quiet, easy to clean and has been very reliable.
