Community noted

A Japanese-made fuzzy-logic rice cooker from Panasonic, successor to the discontinued National-branded line after Matsushita retired that brand.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

A Redditor's National-branded fuzzy logic rice cooker ran from 2003 to 2019 (16 years) before finally dying, and they replaced it with an equivalent Panasonic model, calling it essentially the same machine.

    I had a National fuzzy logic from 2003 to around 2019 when it finally died... I replaced it with a Panasonic, which was pretty much exactly the same as the National.
