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.

I have tried a lot of worktop boilers and without doubt this is the best value for money. This boiler is the sturdiest I have had by far. Definitely well built and does what it is supposed to do. The only improvements that could be made would be the addition of a timer and a means to retain the temperature settings as they revert to the lowest setting if there is a loss of power. It takes about 20 minutes to boil 5 litres from cold and once up to temperature it takes a while to switch over to keep warm mode but on the whole I am very pleased with the product.

Absolutely brilliant. For years I have been using tipping kettles because of severe arthritis in my hands. When I went to replace my last one, the price was just too much So I found this water heater. I just use it for making tea or coffee. I switch it on at the plug when I first waken up. Then by the time I've had my shower the water is boiled. Very sturdy make. I will have no hesitation in replacing should I ever need to.

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.

Have used these for years. Great value can pour without picking cup up (not good grip) my grand kids used them just fill with a jug easy clean great size, cheap to run.

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.

Excellent and works well.

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. 😀
