Main trade-off
Tiger tacook JBV-A10U-W
Its keep-warm instructions allow plain rice, rather than holding brown rice for later servings.
Head-to-head
Tiger JBV-A10U vs Aroma ARC-914SBD: Tiger adds rice-only room, both stop at two cups beneath the tray
The short answer
Choose Tiger for larger rice-only batches, up to 5.5 white or 3.5 brown dry cups. Choose Aroma when four white cups are enough and its documented delay controls and dishwasher-top-rack pot care are useful. Both cap rice at two dry cups when using the included tray.
Before you choose

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
The tray removes Tiger’s size advantage
Tiger holds more rice by itself, but both manuals stop at two dry cups with the tray. For a rice-plus-side dinner, choose from the meal-specific capacity.
How we reached this conclusion
JBV-A10U-W: White 5.5 alone and 2 with plate. ARC-914SBD: White 4 alone and 2 with tray.
Brown rice needs its own dinner plan
Tiger allows a slightly larger brown batch but bars keep warm for brown rice. Aroma also has a brown limit and a keep-warm ceiling, so neither should be sold through a generic all-evening holding promise.
How we reached this conclusion
JBV-A10U-W: Brown maximum 3.5, keep warm for plain rice only. ARC-914SBD: Brown maximum 3, keep-warm ceiling 12 hours.
Cleanup and scheduling favor a different question
Aroma documents white and brown delay controls and top-rack pot washing, with its lid and collector hand washed. Those may matter more than Tiger’s extra rice-only headroom.
How we reached this conclusion
JBV-A10U-W: Larger rice-only capacity and supplied plate. ARC-914SBD: Delay controls, top-rack pot care, hand-wash lid and collector.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Tiger tacook JBV-A10U-W | Aroma ARC-914SBD 8-Cup Cooked | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| White-rice-only maximum | 5.5 dry cups | 4 dry cups | Tiger has extra room before adding a tray. |
| Brown-rice-only maximum | 3.5 dry cups | 3 dry cups | Check the actual brown-rice batch. |
| Rice with tray | 1-2 dry cups | Up to 2 dry cups | Both lose rice capacity in the simultaneous meal. |
| Routine constraints | Keep warm only for plain rice | Pot and accessories top rack, lid and collector hand wash | Holding and washing can matter more than headline size. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Tiger tacook JBV-A10U-W
- Its manual prohibits dishwasher use for the cooking parts.
If you choose Aroma ARC-914SBD 8-Cup Cooked
- The inner lid and condensation collector still need hand washing even though the pot and accessories may use the top rack.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
Five dry cups of white rice are needed without the tray.
Choose Tiger tacook JBV-A10U-W. JBV reaches 5.5 dry cups of rice alone. Aroma stops at four, so only Tiger covers that verified batch.
Dishwasher-top-rack permission for the pot is required.
Choose Aroma ARC-914SBD 8-Cup Cooked. Aroma explicitly allows the pot and accessories on the top rack. Tiger explicitly prohibits dishwasher use, though Aroma’s lid and collector still need hand washing.
