Chefman Electric Hot Water Pot Urn w/Auto & Manual Dispense Buttons, Safety Lock, Instant Heating for Coffee & Tea, Auto-Shutoff & Boil Dry Protection, Insulated Stainless Steel, 3.6L/3.8 Qt/20+ Cups

The unit arrived quickly. It has a sleek, functional design with that complements my kitchen. It is really easy to set up - just plug 🔌 in power cord to the unit and wall. It heats up the water quickly and keeps it hot for a longgg time which is great for households that love hot tea, coffee, or cup of noodles throughout the day. It has an easy to use lockable lid and large easy to press buttons to boil and to dispense hot water. Happy with the purchase so far!Update 11/2024: This product is still going strong with daily use. Still very happy with this purchase. Shortly after I purchased this, I bought a second one to give as a gift.Some features I didn’t comment on include the easy to detach power cord which is helpful when cleaning. Also, a sturdy handle to lift and carry to the sink for refills.

A quick review for people looking for a faster hot water solution other than a tea kettle or microwave:* We recently renovated the kitchen, and had an instant hot/cold filtered water tap installed* Then we movedI purchased this to replace the convenience of that tap, and if you are in a space that you can't modify, this is a great solution.* Form: The interior is stainless steel, while the exterior and handle are plastic. The cord is about 4', long enough to go behind the oven to the next nearest outlet. The height leaves about 4 or 5 inches clearance beneath the cabinets, which is a near perfect fit.* Function: There's a dispense button (powered) and also a large push lever to dispense while unplugged; the top has a simple turn lock to keep it from being pushed accidentally. It heats water quickly and the water it dispenses is always hot without being scalding (one of these days I'll get the temperature it dispenses at). 5.3L is enough for two people who drink a lot of coffee and tea for 3 or 4 days before it needs refilled.* Verdict: It gets constant every day use, it's sturdy, it intelligently designed, it works well. If you're looking for something along these lines, this is a great choice.

I've had the pot for a couple of weeks. We had similar pots in the past and used them elsewhere, so I have a few points of reference. First off, the user interface, i.e. the few buttons to control the pot are very well placed and marked. This has not been the case with the other pots. It's important as if you accidentally press "dispense" you may have a problem. The dispensing is done in one of three ways. There is big, lighted, different shape and placed very separately from other buttons the Dispense button on the top. Then there is a button under the spout, so that you could just press the cup against it to dispense. Finally, there is a manual pump. The pump is excellent. You can fill very quickly a full cup with a single push most of the time. As the water level in the pot drops, the jet pressure drops too, but still it is way better than other pots we used. You still can fill the entire cup with a single push, but you will have to wait longer as the stream gets weaker. Pumping it twice fills up a cup very quickly even with the nearly empty pot. Very impressive. The other two buttons are Boil and Lock. The latter disables all electric functions which is useful, for example, if you have small kids. While locked, the manual pump still operates and the water is kept hot.Addendum October 2023We bought two of these pots over the past 12 mo. The first one is still working, barely. We used it less than once a week only and currently it tends to go into the boil mode and not come out of it or goes in and out of boil often and randomly. The second pot completely failed within a month (just went dead) and we returned it for a refund. So, if you want a disposable pot for a few month, this pot might be the ticket.November '23Changed to a single star. A few dots on the metal bottom of the lid, which is presumably made of stainless steel, have grown into large rust spots. That's "stainless" steel for you. I guess it does not matter much by now as the pot is pretty much dead as I described above.

I've bought this 3x. The last one lasted 3 years, used daily. So I'm giving it 4 stars because after using the other kettles, here's what I like about this reliable one1) I don't have to select the temperature. It goes to 210⁰ and if I want to re-boil, that's an option2) My teas and soups always come out great because of #13) I do not have to unlock to dispense. There's one button and it dispensesAfter my last one broke with 3 solid years I decided to upgrade an go after the fancier digital ones and what a mistake. One kettle (Govee) had the water quality worse coming out than going in. (24ppm to 47ppm), and my guest kettle would have me select 209⁰ frequently because I have the kettle on a plug timer to shutoff between 1030-530. And the guest kettle I had to select unlock and then dispense although what I will applaud and ding Chefman for is this:Minus 1 star- refill updates. The other kettle would flash or go have the water use a blue light to show me how much is left. Here it's just a clear bubble which isn't easy to see. Simple update but I've bought this 3x so it's def not the missing link to me buying this. I love this kettle and I'll see you around in 2027 if you're still selling'm

Now I always have hot water in the house. I like warm water and often drink, my kettle does not hold and we bought a thermos, I have enough for the whole day, the water is always warm. I can always pour into my heat sink. price and quality are attractive. according to the description. I like my purchase , use for two months
