Zojirushi CD-FAC22 Zutto Micom Electric Dispensing Pot Review

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

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

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!).

Serve hot beverages to a crowd or keep hot water available for everyday use with this electric dispensing pot. It quickly boils up to 3 liters of hot water and works great for instant coffee, tea, hot chocolate, instant soup, oatmeal, and much more. The unit keeps the water hot for hours and offers three different dispensing options--press the "automatic dispenser" button, press down on the manual pressure pump, or push up on the dispensing switch located behind the spout for cup-activated water dispensing. 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. The electric hot-water dispensing pot measures 10-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 12-1/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Panasonic NC-EH40PC 4.1-Quart Electric Thermo Pot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Sunbeam Hot Shot Beverage Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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!

Sunpentown SP-3000 3-Liter Hot Water Dispensing Pot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought my unit at an Asian grocery called "99 Ranch", which had a very good price. The unit had notable defects (sometimes stopped boiling far before the boiling point; sometimes got an air bubble and couldn't keep pumping the water out), and it did NOT have a "lock/unlock" safety button although one was depicted in the manual. When it did work, it was very handy. It stopped working entirely after just two weeks -- no heat, no pump, no lights.
I called the phone number printed right on the back on the machine, and the very courteous man on the phone immediately offered to send me a whole new one at their expense, and even pay for the return shipping on this one. The new one arrived promptly, but has already proven to have at least one defect (a loose hinge part).
It seems like you get a lot for your money, but the quality reminds me of General Motors circa 1975. Needs improvement.
UPDATE: Once I fixed the hinge, the new unit worked well for months and I felt satisfied with the product. But the electronics broke again, rendering it permanently dead, after about a year.

Panasonic NC-EH30PC 3-Quart Electric Thermo Pot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice and simple pot. Has six hour timer, however, would like to have a longer delay for the day use. Also, when using the timer, it always resets the final temperature to 190 degree. Would be nice if it can "remember" the previous temperature setting. The inner container is coated with floury charcoal, not teflon coating that any other brands offer. It claims to bring out the fine taste of water. To me, at least it looks better than the grey teflon coating. Another feature missing is it does not come with the audible alarm.
Extra spec that I would like to know before ordering:
Power: 700 Watt
Temp setting: 140, 180, 190, 208
No audible alarm for any events.
After all, I am happy with the pot for the price and the build quality. Not sure if I would pay extra $30+ for the fancy features Zojirushi brand offers.
