Zojirushi CD-FAC22 Zutto Micom Electric Dispensing Pot Review

Zojirushi CD-FAC22 Zutto Micom Electric Dispensing Pot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've used this pot for some months now on a near daily basis and had absolutely no problems. It is a must for the tea enthusiast. Not only is it more stylish than most dispensing pots, it is in a league of it's own for selecting temperature and sustaining temperature over time. It is quick to boil, and can silently keep your water ready for tea for all-day use.
The cost of this pot is higher than your average boiling pot, but it shows in the extra features and in the build quality. The pump action is a much-loved feature, as is the break-away safety cord (all appliances should have such a cord in my opinion). You can just tell that the people that designed this knew what they were doing and cared.
On the downside, I wish for 3 things: 1) the ability to set the temp to more degrees (such as between 160 and 180 for green tea instead of 140); 2) an on-off switch instead of always just disconnecting the cord; and 3) a slightly deeper indent behind the spout so that more tea pots can easily fit under the spout.
If you are serious about tea, buy this unit.

The "Zutto" Collection is Zojirushi's first collection of products that is designed and developed as a series of products.The concept of the Zutto Collection was born as a result of the collaboration between Zojirushi and an interior designer in Japan.Unlike other Zojirushi products, the physical body of the Zutto was designed first, then the inner technology.Zutto (Soot-tow), meaning "always" inJapanese, is designed to be enjoyed and used universally, for any occasion, anytime.This new Zutto Micom Electric Dispensing Pot has one-touch electric dispensing system and a micro computerized temperature control system.It will display actual water temperature at all times and has a Dechlorinate (by extended boiling) and decaling mode.Also new to this item is a water level gauge which includes a red air filled ball (water level ball) making it easier to check the water level and an option to turn off the beep indicator that alerts completion of boiling process and low water level.

Rival 4071-WN 32-Ounce Hot Pot Express Review

Rival 4071-WN 32-Ounce Hot Pot Express
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought one of these close to ten years ago and it's still going strong, though I've taken it on three cross-country trips, countless weekend getaways and even to Guatemala.
Why? First, I don't like using hotel/motel coffee units -- who knows how clean their innards are? This holds more liquid, is easy to clean, and I know where it's been!
Second, it's useful for more than just heating water. I once took my daughter to a nice Disneyland hotel for four days, and did all our cooking in this little pot because food was so pricey. I heated soup, ramen, veggies, all kinds of things... and we actually ate well (though simply) the whole time.
Other reviewers have noted that it doesn't have auto shut-off. That's a good point, and it's a bit of a pain, particularly when you're as forgetful as I am. But the water always boils loudly enough that I hear it. Could be a problem in everyday use if you are wandering from room to room; fine for a motel.
The flip side is being able to adjust the heat level, which I don't think you could do if the unit shut off automatically. I've found that VERY handy for things that need a gentle heat, and use that feature a lot.
Power cord is frustratingly short, but necessarily so for safety reasons.
Naturally, anything that holds 32 oz. of water is a little bulky, but when I put it in my suitcase I just jam socks and breakables into it, so it ends up taking less room than you'd think. You can snap the top off, which is also a help when packing it. It's fairly lightweight.
The reason I'm back at this page is that my daughter just went to college and took the pot with her. I need a replacement for my travels without her! I was amazed to find the same pot is still being sold after all these years. That's probably a good sign about its quality in an era when things get redesigned every year.
At this price, if it lasted a year or two of steady use, I think I'd still be happy.

Aroma AAP-325W 3-Liter Electric Pump Air Pot, White Review

Aroma AAP-325W 3-Liter Electric Pump Air Pot, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Having grown up in a household with a hot water tap, I'm used to having near-boiling water available at all times - except on Shabbat, when, a rabbi told my mother, the tap could not be used (years later, a different rabbi, who had a different understanding of how the technology worked, told me it is permissible!). So once I was on my own, some sort of urn or electric pump pot was a must. I bought this one to replace an old one that died, and am pleasantly surprised by the new features, including the instant dispense button and switch (although they can't be used on Shabbat either, as they make a light go on, but you can still pump out water by pressing the original spot), and the concave front, which allows your cup or teapot to nestle up close. The price is right, the unit works, and my only concern is that I'll run out of water before Shabbat is over! In fact, I just bought another one as a Mother's Day gift and presented it today (now it can be told!).

For safety, the appliance provides a cool-touch exterior, locking lid, and detachable magnetic cord. Other highlights include an easy-to-read water-level window, "heat" and "warm" indicator lights, "unlock" and "reboil" functions, and a comfortable carrying handle.

Sunbeam 6131 Hot Shot Hot Water Dispenser Review

Sunbeam 6131 Hot Shot Hot Water Dispenser
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've used a Hot Shot a whole lot for heating up water for drinking various types of tea and other beverages. If it's right for what you're brewing, it really is a great product--the water is heated within a minute or two, which is way faster than a kettle, and it holds the perfect amount for a large mug.
There are a couple things to note though. Like other reviewers have said, because of the product's design, some taller mugs (especially large vacuum-sealed caddy mugs) won't fit in to receive the water, so you either can't use them or have to dispense the water into another container first and pour it from there. Also, you definitely should empty the excess water after you're done--you might even want to open the lid while it's still warm to let the extra moisture evaporate. This is because the inside is metal, and re-re-reheated water that's been sitting in there gets a bit gross and might not be the healthiest.
The last issue, which affects me more than it may others, is that the Hot Shot heats the water to boiling or very near to boiling. This is great if you're drinking black tea, hot chocolate, or hot cider, but if you're drinking green tea (which takes hot water that is well below boiling), the water from the Hot Shot can be too hot and make the tea bitter. If it's right for the beverage you want to make, though, I can't recommend a more convenient or quick option.

I am very pleased with the performance of this water heater. I have burnt up coils before, in just a few days, so I was reluctant to spend the money. I'm glad that I did. This heater worked fabulously on a 3 week trip to Peru at 220 voltage, and a week in Jamaica at 110, and is still going strong. It can bring water to boiling surprisingly fast. It takes up very little space in the suitcase too. I'm taking this baby with me everywhere I travel.

Sunpentown SP-3017 3-Liter Stainless-Steel Hot-Water Dispensing Pot Review

Sunpentown SP-3017 3-Liter Stainless-Steel Hot-Water Dispensing Pot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Having grown up in Singapore many years ago, I was quite familiar with items like this and National brand rice cookers. My mother had one of these 20 years ago until it gave out a few years back. I purchased this item for my husband for Christmas. He couldn't wait to open it and so we've been using it for the past couple of weeks. I wish I'd bought it sooner. My husband was given a Cuisinart stainless steel Grind & Brew several years ago. Fabulous machine. However, a couple of years ago my husband found that despite his being the only coffee drinker (at the time) in the house, that it was 100% MY responsibility to keep the machine clean and ready for morning brewing. I got tired of this and last year he "discovered" the pleasure of Nescafe Classico instant coffee.
Lazy to boil water in the pot, he'd microwave his cups of water, never bothering to boil me a cup. I've been searching for months for a nice airpot and found this. Unfortunately, I didn't go online in my search and bought one at my favorite Chinese supermarket in Dallas. I paid over $75 when I could have found one online for close to $30 less. However, I have to say that I'm 100% satisfied with this product. It's incredibly convenient. Great for coffee, tea, hot chocolate & malt drinks, not to mention ramen noodles & other instant food items or frozen veggies that require de-frosting. Why didn't I get this sooner????? So easy to use. The only wish I had is that it came in a larger capacity. I love it so much that I use it all the time and have to keep filling it up!
Well worth the money paid. Extremely convenient. Easy to use. Looks great.

I love my thermo pot. I use it everyday. I used to boil water in the microwave prior to having this pot. It used to take 2-3 mins for each cup of water. Great quality. It saves me so much time,especially in the morning when I need to rush out the door with a hot mug of tea.
To avoid build-up in the pot, I fill it with purified water instead of tap water. I've had it for several months and I haven't had to clean out any deposits yet.

We own one for over 6 years now. Love it. Only problem is that because it's mechanical (air pump), that eventually wears out. I think the seal in the pump need replacing. It used to to fill a cup with just one pump, but now takes 10 or more pumps.
Other than that, I love it. I am looking at purchasing a new one, the kind that uses electric pump.

Capresso H2O Pro Programmable Cordless 56-Ounce Water Kettle with Variable Temperature Control Review

Capresso H2O Pro Programmable Cordless 56-Ounce Water Kettle with Variable Temperature Control
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After seeing warnings against another variable temperature kettle (branded by a major tea vendor) that's totally hit-or-miss by 20 degrees, I was cautiously hopeful that Capresso's H2O Pro would avoid that problem.
When this kettle arrived, I decided to play the skeptic and put to test it. Would it really hit 140F on the dot? Just a little above/below? A lot?
After a short brew time, *two* other thermometers (one analog, one digital) agreed with the kettle: 140.0F on the dot!
This is one excellently designed variable-temperature kettle! This kettle has now brought about more casual tea drinking. No more do I have to watch a stove or electric kettle like a hawk and stop it at the right temperature!
Temperatures are programmable in 10F increments from 110F (warm on the wrist) to 212F (boiling). I like to make tea with 140F (a bit over scalding) as I use plenty of Japanese green tea that is temperature-sensitive. And I love how it can also be programmed to keep the same temperature continuously (or not, as you please).
I only have 2 snags with this kettle:
- At the temperatures I like, increments in 5, 2 or 1 degree make better sense than 10 degree increments.
- When taking the kettle off its base, it resets its temperature defaults to 212 (boiling). I'd prefer that it automatically kept my preferences while I'm pouring the occasional cup throughout the day. But that's just me. Turning it to the preferred temp again is just a few thumb-wiggles away (which makes the 10-degree increments a balance of convenience).
Since no other variable-temp kettle I can find on the market is better than this one, these are just would-likes and don't detract from what I feel is a kettle at the head of its market.
5 Stars.

Attractively housed in stainless steel with a polished chrome finish, this electric hot-water kettle makes a striking presence on any kitchen counter or buffet. Use it to quickly bring 16 to 56 ounces of water to a rolling boil for making anything from tea, instant coffee, and hot cocoa to oatmeal, instant soup, noodles, and more. The kettle lifts off its 360-degree swivel base for easy filling at the sink or for graceful serving without the hassle of a power cord; it can also be returned to its power source from any direction--great for right- and left-handed users. Integrated into its generous stay-cool handle, the unit provides an illuminated digital display and simple push-button controls for choosing from a variety of programmable settings, including 11 temperature-control settings (from 110 to 212 degrees F), various keep-warm settings (from 110 to 190 degrees F), and extended boil settings (from 3 to 20 seconds). For safety, the kettle shuts itself off automatically once the water has reached a boil (or after the elapsed extended boil time) or if water needs to be added, which prevents it from boiling dry. Other highlights include a water-level window with min/max markings, a simple lid with push-button release, a micro-filter spout that keeps particles out of the cup, and cord storage when not in use. The cordless electric kettle measures 9 by 6 by 9-1/2 inches.

This is a marvelous appliance because it is just so darn simple! I bought one to keep in my office at work for making tea, and it has worked out great!
There isn't even an on/off switch. Just put water in it, plug it in, and a red light goes off when it is ready to pour. Put a mug under the dispenser, push the lever, and there you go!
One reviewer said that it does not have a fill-to line, and so water can spill over. I don't see this as a problem. Just heat as much water as you need. I fill up my mug with hot water, pour the water into the appliance, and dispense the water when it is hot back into the mug. Oddly enough, I get out exactly the same amount as I put in! Don't try to heat more than 16 ounces at a time.
The Hot Shot does only one thing, but boy does it do it well! Easy to use, simple to clean, and attractive on the counter. Love having hot tea without fussing with heating water in the office microwave!

Zojirushi #CD-K03EJU Inner Container Cleaner for Electric Pots, 4 Packets Review

Zojirushi #CD-K03EJU Inner Container Cleaner for Electric Pots, 4 Packets
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have a 5L Zoji hot water pot and recently, used 1 packet (per directions) of this stuff to clean it. It worked great! We did do the cleaning cycle twice, just to be sure we got all the lime scale out. We have hard water, use the pot daily and after several months, it was EXTREMELY scaled up inside. For those who were wondering... This product is just 100% pure granular citric acid. Nothing else. Citric acid is also called SOUR SALT. The same stuff you would use for canning, cooking Jewish foods, etc. Each packet contains 30 grams or 2 tablespoons. There are 4 packets per box, 120 grams total or 4.23 ounces. Citric acid is available in powdered and various granular forms (for VARIOUS prices). This granular product had about the texture of regular table salt. Any form would work just fine. First, you need to dissolve this product in 1 cup or 240 ml warm water. Next, fill pot with plain water to just below max fill line and pour citric acid mixture into inner container. Then, turn on unit and warm for 1-3 hours. Dump water, then refill with fresh water, bring to a boil, dispense a cup (240ml) or so, to flush dispenser tube and pump, then dump remaining water. KEEP WIRE FILTER PLUG IN PLACE DURING ENTIRE PROCESS, IF YOUR UNIT IS SO EQUIPPED. Zojirushi says to use the programed cleaning cycle and follow the directions in your owner's manual, if your unit has this feature. Also, to adjust the amount of citric acid and the length of warming time, depending on the amount of scale in your pot. Zoji says this product may be used for all brands of water pots, probably because they are all made the same in one or two factories. Clean as a whistle, when done! Looks and works like new! Easy, too! Hope this is helpful! PS: It clearly states in the owners manual NOT to use vinegar (instead of citric acid) to clean your pot, as it will permanently damage your pots inner coating.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought one of these for work. It lives in an office breakroom and gets plenty of use. In this environment, you want the biggest one you can get, or the easiest to refill. 5L is a win. Ease of refill on this unit is so-so if your spigot or whatever can't clear its tall height. It boils, gets to temp, and maintains temp just great. The lid removes for easier fill. Easy to tell how full/empty it is. I like the magnetic power coupling a lot. Has settings for 208, 195, and 175 deg F - enough flexibility, although the 175 is a touch hot for green tea. Weakness: the "timer" has only one setting: "off now, and then turn on (to stay) 7 hours from now." This timer is essentially a not-very-funny joke. There is no real time clock, no auto-on, no auto-off. Uses about 50W to keep water hot (the 4L CV-DSC40 is better insulated but more expensive). Has a handle for carrying (even hot & full) and has a built-in turntable underneath. Unit is completely satisfactory and good enough to make me want a better. Also won't go back to traditional kettle.

Sanyo U-K170S 1-3/4-Quart Stainless-Steel Electric Kettle Review

Sanyo U-K170S 1-3/4-Quart Stainless-Steel Electric Kettle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We loved the look of this kettle and liked the easy-to-read water gauge. Its power is 1500 Watts, which is higher than many comparable kettles.This is a big advantage, as it means that it comes to the boil more quickly. (It's well worth checking the power of kettles before buying them. Some are painfully slow!)
For us, though, there was, unfortunately, one problem. We use our kettle for all sorts of purposes, but mainly for making traditional British tea and we found that after a day or so, the tea tasted odd. My adult son was the first to point it out. I didn't want to believe it, as I loved the kettle. But in the end I was unable to deny it any longer. The tea definitely didn't taste right, even to me.
I did some searching online and found other comments about a "metallic" taste and suggestions for eliminating it. e.g. Boil up lemon juice in the water, and so on. I did try that and it did diminish the scale that had already started to build up. But for us, it still didn't solve the taste problem. I don't know whether the scale was what caused it. If so, the kettle might work well for those who live in soft water areas, or who use water filters. It might also be fine for you if you aren't a tea drinker, or fussy about the taste of your tea.
I hate to write anything negative in a review, but feel I owe it to fellow tea-drinkers to point out this problem! We have kept the kettle, because it's still useful and fast at boiling water for other purposes. But we no longer use it for tea-making. Sorry.

With 1500 watts of power and a concealed heating element, this electric kettle quickly boils up to 7 cups of water, producing hot water for tea, hot chocolate, instant soup, and more--in half the time of a microwave oven. The kettle lifts off its 360-degree swivel power base for cordless pouring, can be set on the power base in any direction, and provides an easy on/off switch under the ergonomically designed handle. For safety, it features automatic shut-off with boil-dry protection to prevent it from operating without water, and to ensure the water doesn't boil away during operation, the unit shuts off automatically once the water reaches a full boil. Side and top water-gauge windows, along with a water-level indicator in ounces and liters, make it possible to see at a glance the amount of water remaining in the kettle. Other highlights include a push-button lid for convenient filling at the sink, a blue LED "on" interior light, cord storage underneath, and a removable and washable mesh filter that extends the life of the kettle and ensures better-tasting beverages. A bilingual instruction manual comes included. Housed in beautiful stainless steel, the electric kettle measures 9-1/5 by 6-4/5 by 10-1/5 inches.

Zojirushi CD-JSC30FE Superior Micom Electric 101-Ounce Hot-Water Dispensing Pot, Marguerite Review

Zojirushi CD-JSC30FE Superior Micom Electric 101-Ounce Hot-Water Dispensing Pot, Marguerite
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We graduated from a Zojirushi "vacuum" pot where you have to press on the top to dispense. At first I thought the electronic dispensing was gimmicky but WOW- it really is worth it. Three temp settings (208F, 180F, 140F) are nice as is the temp readout so you know when the water is almost ready.
Like our old one, there is a water level indicator on the outside so you can tell how much is left without opening it up.
I wonder if the insulation is as good as our old one as it seems a little warmer on the outside - more likely is that our old one didn't go up to 208F.
Personally I would have liked a different appearance. Plain white perhaps or silver / stainless. That's the closest I have to a complaint.
Useful tip: The top comes off and the contents empty easily into a pot - a feature I often use to "kick start" a batch of pasta, etc.
Cleaning tip: to descale, you can save a lot of vinegar by putting a mason jar or other heat resistant jar inside (Think about how putting a brick in a toilet saves water) This way you still get the depth of vinegar but use a lot of it.

Perfect for serving hot beverages to a crowd, this electric dispensing pot provides up to 101 ounces of hot water for instant coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and more. The unit features a micro-computerized temperature-control system and multiple keep-warm temperature settings that include 140, 195, and 208 degrees F. Simple one-touch controls supply a reboil button, which reboils water to 212 degrees F; a dispense button; a dispenser lock-release key; and temperature- and timer-setting buttons. The dispenser's energy-saving timer function--from 6 to 10 hours--automatically turns on the boiler at a later time to save electricity, and its LCD display shows the actual water temperature at all times, as well as the temperature and timer settings. Other highlights include automatic safety shut-off for peace of mind, a see-through water-level gauge, a removable magnetic 2-8/9-foot power cord, a swivel base and carry handle for convenience, and an easy-to-clean nonstick interior. The 800-watt dispensing pot measures 11 by 8-1/2 by 11-1/5 inches.

Kalorik JK-20744 Aqua Line 1500-Watt Cordless Stainless-Steel 60-Ounce Water Kettle Review

Kalorik JK-20744 Aqua Line 1500-Watt Cordless Stainless-Steel 60-Ounce Water Kettle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
What we have here is just another made in China item from an unworthy manufacturer.
1) This "stainless steel / glass" kettle does contain small plastic parts on the inside below the water line.
2) While there is a plate on the inside at the bottom over the heating element, the plate seems to be made of an inferior material. It developed spots (looks like rust to me) after the first couple of uses.
3) There is a gap / seam around that plate on the inside at the bottom where water can collect and stay in invisible / inaccessible places.
4) These parts of the kettle are just about impossible to wipe down because of narrow height of the kettle and lid design.
5) Some water will always stay in the kettle no matter how you try to empty it because of lid / spout design.
6) Not made in USA
The kettle retains a 2nd star since it does boil water quickly and does seem solid. The design of the external base is pleasing. The toggle switch on the kettle itself is sexy.
It is, however, by no means "green," healthy or made by a trustworthy manufacturer. The chamber which contains the water is NOT made out of solid, stable non-reactive materials. At this very moment it is probably leaching chemicals including toxins from plastics, nickel, glues, or coatings into the water. I'm looking for a replacement...

Equipped with a powerful 1500-watt stainless-steel concealed heating element, this electric kettle can quickly bring up to 60 ounces of water to a rolling boil. To use, simply fill the kettle at the sink using the water-level indicator to gauge how much, return the kettle to its power base, plug it in, and flip the chrome switch to the "on" position. In a matter of minutes, hot water will be ready to use for anything from tea, instant coffee, and hot cocoa to instant soup or oatmeal. The cordless jug lifts off its power base for graceful serving and can be returned at any angle. In addition, the unit's Strix controller provides boil-dry protection and automatic cut-off if the kettle accidentally gets switched on without water. Beyond its safe and efficient water-boiling capabilities, the kettle makes a distinguished addition to any kitchen decor. It comes beautifully designed with a polished stainless-steel body, a curved chrome handle, and a decorative frosted-glass lid and base. Other highlights include an easy-to-open hinged lid, a water scale with a blue LED indicator light, a removable spout filter, and cord storage to keep counters looking tidy. The cordless water kettle measures 8-1/2 by 5 by 12 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
