Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've owned several hot water pumps, and this is the best of them all.
The stainless steel interior allows me to keep hot water in the pot all week long, without the concerns that I would have if it were aluminum, while the stainless steel exterior is easy to keep clean and looks good in my kitchen.
Unlike my previous hot water pumps, this unit brings the water to a full boil before it switches to "keep warm" mode.This provides hotter water than the others did, and the convenient "reboil" button brings the water back to a full boil in just a few minutes.
I also like the three options for dispensing hot water: electrically pumped either via the "dispense" push-button or via the cup pressable switch, or manually via a large pump button on top.
In addition to adding convenience, the two electrically pumped options should also add to the life of this unit.Other units that I owned, that were manual pump only, failed after a year or two because the manual pump gasket wore out.While their manuals warn of this and suggest annual replacement, it was impossible to find a source for replacement gaskets.
This unit, when run electrically, does not use this gasket.So it should last for a very long time.
For those who keep Shabbos, there are additional benefits.The unit is under hechsher and does not need to be toiveled in a mikva. Additionally, the Shabbat switch disables all switches and prevents the unit from entering reboil mode.This allows adding water on Yom Tov, which can not be done with similar hot pots since they switch to reboil mode when even a little cold water is added.
