The bottom line

What the product listing won't tell you

Know before you buy

COSORI's nonstick coating chemistry cannot be independently verified as fully PFAS-free. The brand claims PFOA/PFOS-free but withholds full-spectrum test data. Mamavation — which tests products and rates them for conscious families — places this in its 'avoid' tier.

You accept PFOA/PFOS-free claims at face value and are comfortable with coating uncertainty

You want fuzzy logic, 18 modes, and 24-hour keep warm at under $100 and no comparable alternative fits your budget

ETL electrical safety certification is sufficient for your needs and coating PFAS status is not a primary concern

Skip if

You are buying a rice cooker specifically to reduce chemical exposure — the coating chemistry is unverified and Mamavation rates it 'avoid'
You want a stainless steel inner pot with zero coating degradation risk — a Zojirushi NHS-18 or equivalent covers this at $50–65
Full PFAS spectrum certification matters to you — COSORI has not published this data
You expect brand transparency commensurate with 'clean' positioning — the PFOA/PFOS-free claim without independent testing does not meet that bar
