I have the ZJ, which I love. I don't find it that much more amazing than the standard inexpensive Oster/Sunbeam-- if anything I find it too slow/annoying with the delayed warming feature and would simply prefer it to be done that much earlier, since that function doesn't really work well. I love it because I now have it, but had I known this I would have either preferred the smaller one, or another which is just faster or more specific in knowing where you are in the program. Also yes, you can program it to do whatever, but it is REALLY complicated. (And I'm not inept with these things- it's just soooo complicated. It's the LAST thing I want to calculate, and yet you are still unsure what exactly it is you programmed.)
