Can't live without it. August 18, 2010
sophistre
I hesitated before I bought one of these. It was two years ago, I was a fledgling tea connoisseur, and I was frustrated about the hassle of ensuring that I wasn't scorching the increasingly-expensive loose leaf teas that I was purchasing with water too hot for the type of tea -- even ten degrees can make all the difference in the world. The cost of the Zojirushi seemed a bit excessive to me, especially as compared to a hot water thermometer...
...but I am just not patient enough to wait until 212 degree water cools off enough for me to get my tea fix. Sad? Perhaps. True? You bet.
This thing has paid for itself a hundred times over since then. It comes with a few great features, like an auto-shutoff feature, but I'll be honest -- I leave this thing on and hot 24/7, and have done so for well over a year now with absolutely no difficulty from the machine. It has reboiled fresh water once or twice every single day during that time.
Decreasing the temperature (via a button) from 208 to say, 140, takes quite a while. If I had any complaints about the machine, that would probably be my complaint...but it's really a non-issue, as I usually just top off the water with fresh, room-temp, filtered water to hurry things along.
Since becoming interested in tea a few of my friends and relatives have gotten interested in tea, too, and I've actually given a couple of these as gifts. My mother likes hers so much that when she travels between the US and Italy (she lives there for part of the year), she actually lugs this thing along...and she used to hate tea! (It's nice for french-press coffee and hot chocolate mixes that call for water too, though.)
What did I ever do without this??!! August 7, 2010

This water boiler is the absolute BEST!! I recently gave up drinking coffee, and wanted to drink tea more than just my two wake up cups. I had to put the kettle on to boil and wait... add my tea, and wait... I was in my Teavana store and talking to the clerk and he tried to sell me this exact pot for $150. It was a big purchase for a spur of the moment, so I told him I'd think about it. I came home and looked it up on AMAZON: $112, plus FREE SHIPPING! Guess where I bought it? It was here in 2 days!
I now have hot water waiting for me whenever I feel like having a cup of tea, which is quite often. I don't really use the timer though, as I drink tea throughout my day. All I have to do is to remember to refill before I go to bed, as I like to have a full pot to start my day with. I love the fact that you can choose the temp for the various teas.
All and all ~ I am VERY HAPPY with my purchase, and would recommend this to everyone! Hopefully, it will last a long time!

Best price I could find on the web. Works perfectly. Beats having to manually boil water or any other method of hot water dispensing.
Hot Pot June 1, 2010

This product is great for having boiling water available instantly for cooking and making tea or instant coffee or soups. I bought the biggest one with the electric dispenser because my previous pot was much smaller and needed refilling often. Also the vacuum seal wore out and it was very difficult to pump the water out. The heating element never failed however. This is my 4th hot water boiler, so I think I chose wisely.
 Happy, but watch out for the steam on reboil May 29, 2010

Having spent a couple of weeks in Japan, I fell in love with the idea of an always-on water heater. Has been great to have one at home, and a good one at that.
The only note I would add to previous comments is that the unit *does* kick off a LOT of steam during the boiling process. I originally put it on the kitchen counter, tucked back against the wall, based on earlier comments about there being little to no steam.
Oooooh. Wrong. About 20 minutes into the boil, I happened to pop into the kitchen to find water dripping off the underside of the overhanging cupboard, water running down the wall, etc. YIKES.
Like I said, the unit is a good one. Just be sure to pull it out to the edge of the countertop and spin it to face away from you during the boil stage (so the steam vent is out on the open edge of the counter), and you'll be good to go. After the boiling stage concludes, you can spin it around to face the correct direction and slide it back under the overhanging cabinetry. The little bit of steam it puts off while in a holding pattern is next to non-existent.
