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."

everyone i know that has one just keeps them on 24/7 and they never replace them. my moms is 15+ years old n still going strong
I just empty the leftover water once it is nearly empty and fill it up n leave it on
remember these are insulated so it takes very little power to keep it boiled
You can apply the same concept to a CPU or hard drive in a computer running at regular operation temps 24/7 vs being shut off and turned back on everyday.. or a car driving 5k miles on the highway vs stop and go traffic
or.. just look at all the comments from asian households (here, amazon, etc) that keep them on 24/7 for years and never have issues.
