This one is hot water on demand. Kettle you need to wait for it to boil.

If you're in a state like CA which has high kilowatt per hour rates, (read 45c/kWh), you might want to look at the newer models that have vacuum insulation to help maintain temperatures. Also running at 175F will help help reduce cost if running 24/7. Otherwise, these water boilers from Zojirushi are fantastic.

These do boil water and warm water. Literally there is a button to reboil the water. When you first fill the units with water or add water, once the temperature drops below a certain value, it'll kick the units to reboil the water and then it'll maintain the temperature of the water based on your selection.

To be clear, these are not the best thing to conserver electricity, but if you make tea or coffee or just like having hot water instantly, these are amazing. It's hard to go back to not having it.

What's the benefit of this over a $20 electric kettle? Not trying to be smart; just genuinely curious.

Okay that makes sense. Thanks. Not something I see myself needing as I don't need boiling water often enough, but I could see it being useful for someone who drinks a lot of tea, etc.

Like other models of the same type, it will wear out from the plastic breaking down after 5 yrs. You'd have to replace the entire lid assembly, but by then this model will be discontinued and parts won't be available.

The lid has a metal plate that secured the gasket to the assembly via screws. What happens is the gasket will crumble first from the heat, which you can replace easily. However, once the steam from boiled water starts turning the plastic behind the metal plate to dust, you can only fix it with a new lid assembly.

I thought about buying a commercial dispenser that's 100% metal but they are all much larger. For now, I just buy the cheaper brands instead because this isn't an item that's BIFL.

It's ironic that my parents actually had BIFL appliances growing up despite being so poor: kettle on stove + thermos bottle.

Kinda weird because the product info says The Zojirushi Micom Water Boiler & Warmer is designed to heat and keep water hot, not to boil water. It's a countertop warmer that maintains temperature once plugged in ā€” similar to how a coffee station works.

It heats up to and mantains the water temp at 208 degrees, so not quite boiling, which is contradicting to it's title. It doesn't actually boil water & it sounds like it's not the best thing if your trying to conserve electricity.

Right. Product info says this heats up to and maintains the water temp at 208 degrees, so just below boiling, which is contradictory to it's title. It doesn't actually boil water & it sounds like it's not the best thing if your trying to conserve electricity.

I don't know about this exact model, but mine also has the temp setting at 208 degrees. But the heat portion alludes to boiling, so it brings the water to a boil then lets the water cool down to 208 and hold.

It is a luxury.

Having hot water on demand for tea, if you drink tea all day, without boiling in a kettle and transferring to a vacuum sealed bottle, is a game changer.

11pm want a late night nong shim, don't need to wait 5-10 minutes for water to boil, you have again hot water on demand.

If you only need a single 8 oz serving my $20 Chefman electric kettle boils it in like 2 minutes. I just cant justify spending over a hundred dollar premium to save 2 minutes of time. It also heats to a true 212 degree rolling boil, not a 208 degree close to boil simmer like this machine does. My Chefman kettle claims to boil a full pot in 3 minutes.

My $20 Chefman water kettle boils a single serving of water in 2 minutes to a full rolling 212 degree boil, not just a 208 degree borderline boil. I just can't justify myself spending an extra $110 to save a couple minutes but to each their own.

This happened to me and only noticed because there was plastic bits in my water. Switched to a kettle one now where I can see everything more clearly (trade off, waiting for water to boil, which is really only a few minute max)
