Where these two actually differ
- We flag Mineral and microbial buildup in heating element and Stainless steel corrosion and iron leaching on the Tiger and not on the Zojirushi.
- We flag Stainless steel nickel content and Rubber gasket off-gassing or degradation on the Zojirushi and not on the Tiger.
- The Tiger is Stainless steel inner pot and non-coated heating elements where the Zojirushi is Stainless steel inner pot, aluminum outer housing, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
