Have been looking for a Made in Japan micom/fuzzy logic rice cooker and came across this tiger on Amazon.Think I'm going to be a guinea pig and pull the plug and buy it. At first I saw the Japanese writing on the front and thought it was some import thing. And I didn't see Made in Japan clearly on the front like other Zojirushi and Tiger rice cookers which usually isn't a good sign, but it is clearly listed on the sticker on the back you can see and also on Tiger's YouTube video for it clearly says it's made in Japan. I also see photos of the bowl with 1/2 cup lines clearly marked.

It's only been on Amazon since the end of April, roughly a month/4 weeks. No reviews. Tiger's YouTube video on it was only uploaded 4 weeks ago too.

It doesn't even show up on Tiger's website under rice cookers, had to find Tiger's official page on it via Google. Also no Spare Parts for this model yet on Tiger's online store either, it doesn't show up.

Sadly all the 3 cup Zojirushi micom/fuzzy logic models are NOT made in Japan. Only 3 cup made in Japan model I've seen is this IH Induction one which is $300+ which sadly is over my budget.

Have a 7 year fraud alert on all three credit bureaus and keep them frozen. Also froze ChexSystems but lost the PIN to unfreeze and only want get a new one is have it mailed.

Applied online for a local credit union checking and savings. After applying check my ChexSystems online account and see the pull attempted.

Day after I apply I get a hard pull on equifax. Days later an email asking me to call or come in. I call and he asks me lexis Nexis security questions and says nothing about ChexSystems. Then says because of the fraud alert I’ll have to come in to the branch and bring an ID and sign a form stating it’s me opening the account. I’m happy to do that and very happy with their fraud alert protocols they have. Nothing on the phone was said about ChexSystems. I did request a new pin from Chex but it hasn’t arrived yet. What’s the chance they bring it up at the branch or tell me it’s required to unfreeze to proceed?

This is a pretty small credit union. Less than $300 million in assets, 2 branches and only around 15,000 members.
