For Tiger's named Exp. Limited Cups menu, the JKT-D10U manual documents 0.5–2 supplied cups and the larger JPW-H18U documents 1–3. Both methods exclude finish timing, so choose this menu for its limited-cup route only if its portion and schedule fit.
Comparison updated 29 October 2026.
The examples show distinct minimum and maximum quantities for the same named program; all six exact-match models remain available.
| Model | Express-Limited range | Minimum batch | Schedule boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiger JKT-D10U JKT-D10U (US5.5 supplied dry cups) | 0.5–2 supplied cups | Half a supplied cup | No finish timer on Express-Limited |
| Tiger JPW-H18U JPW-H18U (US1.8L /10 supplied dry cups) | 1–3 supplied cups | One supplied cup | No finish timer on Express-Limited |
Choose it when: The exact JKT-D10U manual gives its Express-Limited menu a half-to-two-cup range, distinct from its larger Plain and Quick limits.
The limit: The two-cup ceiling and no-timer rule apply to Express-Limited; the model's other timer-capable menus do not change this route.
Choose it when: The JPW-H18U manual identifies the same named reduced-cup program and raises the documented upper amount to three supplied cups.
The limit: Its Express-Limited plan starts at one cup, so the JKT-D10U is the documented half-cup option among these examples; neither plan is schedulable to finish.
Exp. Limited Cups is a named rice program, not another name for the cooker's ordinary maximum. Its plan has its own supplied-cup range and the exact model's program-specific instructions should control your quantity.
The JKT-D10U Exp. Limited Cups range is 0.5–2 supplied cups; the JPW-H18U range is 1–3 cups. Pick the first for a documented half-cup start or the second when its one-to-three-cup range matches your portion.
Neither featured Express-Limited method supports finish timing. The JKT-D10U and JPW-H18U have timer-eligible routes elsewhere, but that capability does not transfer to their Express-Limited setting.
No. Each model has a smaller program-specific range: the JKT-D10U ends at two supplied cups and the JPW-H18U at three.
The manuals mark these Express-Limited methods as not finish-timer eligible. Use a different documented timer-eligible method only if it suits your rice and portion.
