The AK-47 is a specific product from the class of assault rifles, whereas “rice cooker” product class, not a specific product of a class.
To be fair there's probably almost no moving parts in a rice cooker. Someone mentioned cast iron pans. I think that's a fair example.
Ah right, the post confused me a bit.
I recently bought a zojirushi rice cooker because of their reputation for making perfect rice and lasting decades. So it's the AK of rice cookers. Or more like the AR because it was $200.
