HomeTronix 5L Instant Hot Water Dispenser, Thermal Stainless Steel Water Boiler, Thermopot, Catering Urn with 3 Temperature Settings, Auto Re-Boil & Rotatable Base, Electric Kettle for Home Office

I purchesed this unit in december, and it has performed admirably, being used on very a regular basis every day, Takes about twenty minuets to boil from from each complete refill, and stays hot until it needs to be replenished. Very pleased with it'a water capacity and enrgy efficency, and very easy to clean. Fits my counter top perfecly. I notice that a few reviews mention that the water level is difficult to see, but i found that it may be that they have not removed the thin plastic covering protecting the water level indicator, i removed it, and the water level is very easy to read. Not seen any discolouration one reviwer remarked about either.That said, this is a very good product, and very well priced, and i can reccomend it Wholeheartedly.

Purchased for my partner who has arthritis and has issues lifting kettles and cups. She wouldnt br without this nie. Temperature controls. Easy to dispense hot water even in larger mugs and other vessels. More cost effective than a kettle. 😀

Good product works well. Couple issues. When not fully warm if you try to dispense it flows after you stop pressing and makes a mess. Not a problem when hot though. Also have to open the lid to check water level as guage is invisible.. However for the money as it was a lot cheaper than its counterparts and on the basis that it's extremely good value for money and a large capacity even with these defects I would definitely recommend and buy again.

Takes a while to heat but when at the right temperature it remains the same when on the keep warm setting, it states that it has a stainless steel body but the outside is plastic. Serves the purpose more so if you have problems lifting or tipping a kettle.

Great item, my 87 year old mother can get tea when I'm not around, soup, noodles etc. With out spilling or dropping the kettle anymore. Having the spout up higher is great, as not having it low down. Helps me with my tall thermos mugs as I can fit them underneath, unlike most others. With a adding timer switch i bought with it. It turns off when we don't need it and back on. Sounds silly but nice to have hot water when you want it, not wait 30minutes for it to heat up. Really good when I'm rushing around getting ready for work.

I used this dispenser twice and it's already formed white powdery chalk-like stains inside that not only look very unhealthy but also won’t come out without scrubbing with a sponge – something that I never experience with my regular kettle and I used the same tap water. When water is boiled, a lot of small particles form on the surface, and the water turns cloudy as it nears the bottom—suggesting the stainless-steel material may be of poor quality. Because of this, I haven't been able to use it for making beverages or cooking as it can be unhealthy. It also takes a very long time to boil when filled to full capacity—around 45 minutes. After water is boiled, it will automatically switch to 'keep warm' mode and will keep the water at the same temperature as long as it is connected to the socket – it doesn't have an on/off switch button to operate. When filled to the maximum level shown on the window, it doesn’t actually hold a full 5 litres (it holds about 3.5lt). There is also internal marking line and will hold approx. 5 lt. of water when filled in full—but not sure which measurement to follow as they don't align. Moreover, the product description claims it can operate without electricity, but in reality, it only functions when plugged into a socket and comes with a power cord. I am very disappointed with the product quality and I definitely do not recommend it for drinking or cooking, but seller was helpful and offered a refund. I put some before/after pictures, hope it helps.

ideal and keeps water piping hot

Economical product for multi use.
