I don't get it either, and I have tried both. My results in the Zojirushi are middling, and well below what I achieve on my stove. If I need a longer-cooking variety (like brown or black rice) done more quickly, then I use the Rice button on my Instant Pot. The Zojirushi takes minimum 60 minutes on any variety and the results are not as good as what I can do on my stove in 20 minutes. (Plus the Zojirushi has no timer, no status indicator, and no power button. To turn it on you plug it in.)

Every zojirushi I've ever seen has more buttons and settings than most microwaves. Did you buy the cheapest one they sold?

I didn't say it didn't have buttons. I has loads of buttons. It just doesn't have a power button, or timer, or status indicator.
