Sunbeam Hot Shot Hot Water Dispenser 16 oz, Black, 006131

excellent product

The water is heated to a good hot temperature.The Dispense button works very slowly - it takes longer than the older model I had to empty the water from the unit into a cup.

I can understand someone being skeptical about this product or even finding it lazy. After all between the stove and the microwave, and even electric tea kettles, why would we REALLLLLLY need a product that heats a bit more than a cup of water to a boiling point?But in terms of convenience this product was for me a must have. When I microwave a cup of water, depending on which coffee cup I use, I run the risk of the mug itself getting so hot that I can't touch it. Using the stove I end up with more water than I sometimes need. Same for electric tea kettles. This gives me what I want for a cup of coffee, tea, or soup, in about 90 seconds without having to fight with too much water or a mug that gets too hot. It also gets me what I want quickly and easily.I had one of these years ago when I lived with my Mom and Grandma, and it was used every single day. Seriously,every single day, typically several times a day between hot water for drinks, oatmeal and on and on. After about 3 years it died and none of us ever got around to replacing it. We had looked in a few stores but never saw one. We tried a few electric tea pots with various degrees of personal enjoyment, but none of us were ever as happy as we had been with a product like this.Then a couple months back I was heating up water in the microwave in one of those mugs, you know the kind we all have them, where you just can't use them in the microwave no matter what the bottom says, because they get insanely hot even if your water is barely warm. I burned myself and swore like a sailor and wished I'd had one of the hot water dispensers like we had years ago. So after iceing my hand I hit amazon and found this and ordered it.It's been several weeks now and it gets used several times a week for heating up hot water. And I've not burned myself once. But I will say this does get water hot, very hot since it takes it to a fast boil, and you need to remember that if you are making yourself a cup of tea for example. Since it will take it a bit to cool off so that you can drink it without burning your tongue. Most of us have figured out about how long we need to microwave our water to get certain temps, this really only has one.Great for home, the office, or a dorm. Any place where you might have a space issue or appliance use issue. It's nicely small and compact. The cord is kinda short though so it needs to be close to the outlet. I highly recommend it and it's a good price. I've had mine for several weeks and don't know how I got along without one in the years between owning the two.This product doesn't reinvent the wheel, it just boils water, a set amount, very quickly and very easily.

Excelente! ahora en mi oficina mi te sale rápido y super caliente!Lo recomiendoComo tip,,podrían hacer uno igual pero para 1 litro de agua!

Let me first off say I had an original hot shot for years used it every day and it worked perfectly and was well made for $20. After 20+ years it gave out. Replaced it with what appeared to be the same product made by the same company. Paid $55 which included $13 shipping and it lasted 8 weeks only using it on weekend. The product is poor quality and all plastic. The water dispenser button broke off just like other people stated on other sites. I would not recommend wasting money on this product!!!
