Sunbeam SEK17 1500-Watt 1-4/5-Liter Electric Water Kettle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Terrible odor makes the water undrinkable. They treated the inside with some chemical that even after frequent washing still does not come out. No, the odor is not from the water as I used the same faucet with the previous kettle I owned but replaced with this when the top broke off the other kettle. The problem is this Sunbeam. This company used to make decent products then went south and I have now been disappointed for the last time. I sent this back for full refund.

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.

Zojirushi CV-DYC40 Super VE 4-Liter Vacuum Electric Dispensing Pot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned several different electric kettles, but this one is by far the best. The Zojirushi is easy to use and set up. The timer is the best feature of all, I set the timer in the evening and the water is at the perfect temperature when I wake in the morning. The whole family uses it, for tea, hot cocoa, coffee (french press), instant oatmeal, roman noodles and more! This is the best purchase I have made in a long time, and the Zojirushi is worth every cent.

With its large 4-liter capacity, this dispensing pot comes in handy when serving hot beverages at a party, business meeting, or other gathering. The pot's user-friendly control panel offers simple push-button operation with a digital display that indicates the water temperature. Choose from 175, 195, or 208 degrees F depending on the type of beverage being served. It also offers a "reboil" button to heat the water back up to boiling, an "unlock" selection for safety, and a "dispense" button with a "slow" setting for slower dispensing. The hybrid unit provides a micro-computerized temperature-control system for consistent results, plus a vacuum-insulated design that helps keep liquids hot without the use of electricity for energy savings. Best of all, its carrying handle and battery-operated cordless dispensing allow for exceptional portability (cordless dispensing requires 2 AA batteries, not included). Other highlights include a convenient timer function that can be set from 6 to 10 hours, an easy-to-read water-level gauge, automatic safety shut-off, and de-chlorinate and descaling modes, as well as an interchangeable melody or beep indicator to signal the completion of the boiling process or a low water level. The unit's clear-coated stainless-steel exterior cleans easily and nicely accommodates any kitchen decor, domestic or commercial. The dispensing pot measures 8-3/8 by 11 by 13-4/5 inches.

Sanyo U-K170S 1-3/4-Quart Stainless-Steel Electric Kettle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We loved the look of this kettle and liked the easy-to-read water gauge. Its power is 1500 Watts, which is higher than many comparable kettles.This is a big advantage, as it means that it comes to the boil more quickly. (It's well worth checking the power of kettles before buying them. Some are painfully slow!)
For us, though, there was, unfortunately, one problem. We use our kettle for all sorts of purposes, but mainly for making traditional British tea and we found that after a day or so, the tea tasted odd. My adult son was the first to point it out. I didn't want to believe it, as I loved the kettle. But in the end I was unable to deny it any longer. The tea definitely didn't taste right, even to me.
I did some searching online and found other comments about a "metallic" taste and suggestions for eliminating it. e.g. Boil up lemon juice in the water, and so on. I did try that and it did diminish the scale that had already started to build up. But for us, it still didn't solve the taste problem. I don't know whether the scale was what caused it. If so, the kettle might work well for those who live in soft water areas, or who use water filters. It might also be fine for you if you aren't a tea drinker, or fussy about the taste of your tea.
I hate to write anything negative in a review, but feel I owe it to fellow tea-drinkers to point out this problem! We have kept the kettle, because it's still useful and fast at boiling water for other purposes. But we no longer use it for tea-making. Sorry.

With 1500 watts of power and a concealed heating element, this electric kettle quickly boils up to 7 cups of water, producing hot water for tea, hot chocolate, instant soup, and more--in half the time of a microwave oven. The kettle lifts off its 360-degree swivel power base for cordless pouring, can be set on the power base in any direction, and provides an easy on/off switch under the ergonomically designed handle. For safety, it features automatic shut-off with boil-dry protection to prevent it from operating without water, and to ensure the water doesn't boil away during operation, the unit shuts off automatically once the water reaches a full boil. Side and top water-gauge windows, along with a water-level indicator in ounces and liters, make it possible to see at a glance the amount of water remaining in the kettle. Other highlights include a push-button lid for convenient filling at the sink, a blue LED "on" interior light, cord storage underneath, and a removable and washable mesh filter that extends the life of the kettle and ensures better-tasting beverages. A bilingual instruction manual comes included. Housed in beautiful stainless steel, the electric kettle measures 9-1/5 by 6-4/5 by 10-1/5 inches.

Sunbeam 6170 Hot Shot Beverage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The quality of the Sunbeam Hot Shot has declined over the past 3 years. Here's how I know: I regularly use a Hot Shot at my friend's house. She and her husband are very happy with it and it works perfectly--they purchased it 3 years ago and have never had any problem with it. I never have to do anything but fill it with a mug full of water, push a button to heat the water and push another to dispense it.
While the Hot Shot I just bought heats up the water to boiling, the water release at the bottom of the water chamber is not secure and so one must push it down before adding water to ensure no leakage before the water is heated up.
One would think that Sunbeam can do better than this at the price they are demanding.

Sunbeam 6131 Hot Shot Hot Water Dispenser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used a Hot Shot a whole lot for heating up water for drinking various types of tea and other beverages. If it's right for what you're brewing, it really is a great product--the water is heated within a minute or two, which is way faster than a kettle, and it holds the perfect amount for a large mug.
There are a couple things to note though. Like other reviewers have said, because of the product's design, some taller mugs (especially large vacuum-sealed caddy mugs) won't fit in to receive the water, so you either can't use them or have to dispense the water into another container first and pour it from there. Also, you definitely should empty the excess water after you're done--you might even want to open the lid while it's still warm to let the extra moisture evaporate. This is because the inside is metal, and re-re-reheated water that's been sitting in there gets a bit gross and might not be the healthiest.
The last issue, which affects me more than it may others, is that the Hot Shot heats the water to boiling or very near to boiling. This is great if you're drinking black tea, hot chocolate, or hot cider, but if you're drinking green tea (which takes hot water that is well below boiling), the water from the Hot Shot can be too hot and make the tea bitter. If it's right for the beverage you want to make, though, I can't recommend a more convenient or quick option.
