Lowest price ever. Amazon price tracker website shows an average of ~$200.
New model: "Date First Available July 21, 2020", though not necessarily an "upgrade" to the VE model.
Caveat: it's unclear if this newer model fixes the "melting plastic inner lid" issue. You can try to prolong its lifetime by not running it 24/7. For the VE model with this lid issue, folks were able to buy replacement parts after deterioration from 1-2 years of use. Their online manual states, "The lnner Lid Gasket may need to be replaced due to time and wear. We recommend that you replace it about once a year."

You're not paying for something to boil hot water.

I think this product is for people who want hot water ON DEMAND.

Ended up holding out for a VE Hybrid model sale...maybe it uses less electricity to keep the temperatures warm? For the life of me I couldn't figure out what was different/better than the VE Hybrid models.
I can walk to work, why buy a car?
I have a 3-liter one Made in China, and its on 24/7, and has not had an issue with me for the past 7 years. (However, the same model purchased for my parents died within just three years...would keep boiling and not stop ever).
I also dont understand the need for micom or induction for water boilers. These arent rice cookers...water does not need special texture or soaking time???

Why are you here then ? Personally I didn't see the use for these until I spent some time in my girlfriends household. With several people drinking tea, eating instant noodles, or even just drinking hot water all the time I can't imagine how they'd survive without one of these.
We don't even leave ours on 24/7. We unplug it in the evening when it is nearly empty and then just refill it again in the morning.

Still, I'd consider this product since I drink green tea often and need that lower temp.
That's the real issue, Amazon has fakes to match the fake reviews. I just pick up my zuojueushi when I'm doing a stopover at Narita.
