Customers are dissatisfied with the water resistance of the rice cooker. They mention that the inner pot is so thin that it makes the rice dry after one hour. There is nothing to capture the water, and it leaves a great deal of water in the shell of the unit. There's also no moisture catch thing that drives excess water, so it just drops. This causes wet mushy rice. Customers also complain that there is no condensation drain cup, and the range of 6-10 cups, the bottom 3rd is soggy and the top 3rth is almost raw.

I go under the waterline by 2 or 3 millimeters. The quality of the unit seems very well made. The controls look simple and the quality of the non-stick inner pan is excellent. Too many times manufacturers cheapen the teflon coating and it food still ends up sticking. The only issue I might have is a slight confusion on the quick cook/steam button. It has the same image of the White Rice button although different colors. So what exactly is the quick cook/steam function for? Is it just for steaming veggies? Then it should just be a labeled STEAM. I haven't tried the porridge function but it will be rare that I ever use it for making homemade soups.
Wish it had a beep tone when done. And I wish there was a holder for the scoop. Wish there was a steam/water drain removable reservoir rather than the built-in left and right side drain areas.
But other than my own confusion...and some minor minor wants...it works very well. I can see this lasting for years to come.
I'm a little surprised the manual is so poorly translated that some things are not possible to figure out: Panasonic is usually pretty good about manuals. Luckily it's not a complex device to use -the key is that the measurements marked on the side of the pot work differently: you measure your rice with a measuring cup (handily provided) and stick your rice in, then bring the water up to the cup markings which have already taken into account that you stuck the rice in. I.e., if you are making 2 cups of rice and need 2 3/4 cups of water, stick the rice in, then bring the water level up to 2 3/4. This is a great idea. The only issue I have, and why I dinged it a point on "easy to use", is that it is nigh on impossible to read the markings inside the pot unless you hold it outside the cooker in just the right light while trying to keep the water level. I've gotten around this by marking a bamboo handle to match the pot markings and I just stick that in. (I'd also like to know more about the "Fuzzy Logic". I know what fuzzy logic is and would be interested to know exactly what it's doing in this device.)
But hey, stick the rice in press the button and you get perfect rice every time -what more could you ask?
In my experience with the SR-DF181 so far, I've found that taking the time to rinse/wash your rice thoroughly prior to cooking is very important (also, as the manual mentions, don't wash the rice in the cook pot... the dry rice is pretty abrasive) and if you have heavily chlorinated water or water with any sort of strong taste/smell, I'd recommend filtering the water you'll be cooking the rice in with a Brita pitcher or equivalent first so that the taste of the rice ins't impacted. For those complaining about poorly cooked brown rice, I think it may have something to do with the type of rice being used (i.e. there are probably some assumptions being made on the part of Panasonic). I've only experimented with Nishiki brand medium grain white and medium grain brown rice in the cooker thus far (both are a California grown Japanese style rice) and haven't had any issues.
Quick cleaning tip: after emptying the cooked rice from the cooking pot, leave the pot out or cooker open so that the residue in the pot can dry out. It's a lot easier to clean when you do this because nearly all of the residue in the pot will peel right off and can be thrown away. If you just toss the pot into a sink full of water for cleaning, then the moistened residue will become very glue-like and hard to remove.
Panasonic doesn't seem to have the inner lid part available on their parts store. So I reached out to customer service.
The first time around, they told me to check the parts store, after I had already told them I'd checked it. The second time around they said they'll escalate my issue and then disconnected without giving me any info. I'm now stuck sitting on a rice cooker I can't use.
Update: heard back from Panasonic after 3 weeks of trying to contact them and apparently they don’t supply the lid as a part, avoid this company like the plague.
Next update: turns out Panasonic lied. I found the part number. Their price for the part + shipping is half the cost of this entire rice cooker, this company is awful.

This Panasonic has simple controls, and I like the way that you control the time you're vegetables are steamed by the amount of water you add. The steamer tray is quite big and the size of most larger steamers.
Fuzzy logic steamers like this take longer than just boiler units, but the rice turns out way better every time. Jasmine or white rice takes about 40 minutes but you do have the option of faster steaming with not quite as good results. This is one of the best rated price and vegetable steamers you can buy. For this low price, it's the best bang for your buck in a steamer.
