Zojirushi rice cookers have lithium batteries that are used only for retaining timer and cooking memory for if there is a power interruption. The batteries have an estimated lifespan of around 5-10 years depending on use.
These batteries are not essential to the operation of the rice cookers but can be replaced only at authorised Zojirushi service centres if you feel you need to have it replaced. After warranty you would need to contact one of these centres if you wish the battery to be replaced.Â
We have no plans at all to sell Zojirushi Induction Heating models because the Zojirushi IH models for 220-240V power haven’t passed any CE safety tests for use in the UK or Europe so they therefore cannot be legally supplied within the UK or Europe, so this is why we do not supply them. Not only is there a voltage difference but there is a difference in the frequency of electricity used. The Zojirushi IH models are also very, very expensive to purchase (around £150-200 more than our conventional rice cooker models).
We do have our own branded Induction Heating rice cookers, Fuji YUM-IH07 and Bamboo YUM-IH15/2/B. These are the first IH rice cooker to be made for the UK and Europe. It has many unique rice cooking features which Yum Asia developed using our rice cooker/cooking expertise.

Fast delivery, ordered at 3pm and arrived at 1pm on the next day. Very happy with this rice cooker, solid build, rice is very moistured and tastes so much nicer. Can’t wait to try brown rice with it.
Matt (UK) (verified owner) –
I bought my YSQ18 back in 2012 so I think a review is overdue! This is the first rice cooker I’ve owned and it could well be the last as the build quality is amazing. It’s been used extensively over the last 5 years and it still looks brand new. The only discernible wear is a few nicks to the non-stick coating in the bowl but that is more down to my carelessness than anything else. As for the cooker’s performance, I really can’t fault it. Rice comes out perfect every single time, although I have to say I can’t discern what difference the "Premium" setting makes, so I tend to save time and use the "Quick" setting. I love the GABA brown setting too, although be prepared for that to take over 3 hours as it takes time for the rice to germinate (not the fault of the cooker). Even after 5 years I still haven’t tried everything it can do but I have no reason to believe that I don’t have at least another 5 years to continue playing with it. Highly recommended!
