Many of the Zojirushi products available in the US now are made in China and a definite step down from the older Japanese models.

All these says made in Thailand, is there any difference?

The design may be the same. The build quality is just a bit lower as a rule. Japanese Zojirushi appliances routinely last for decades. You can pass them down to your kids. The non-Japanese made items are still good, they’re just not made to last forever the way the older Japanese ones are.

Yeah, I just got a Zojirushi griddle for Christmas. Made in China, but it still works really well.
