3.5L Perma-Therm

I’ve been looking for something like this for ages, but at a reasonable price. I grew up using these, and the item is ideal. Large 12 cup capacity allows for our entire family to use this without having to refill it constantly. We’ve only had it for about a month so can’t tell if it has had any significant impact on our energy usage, but it’s definitely better than a kettle. It’s not too big. Fits well in our kitchen. One thing to note is when you refill and you open the lid it does. Some remaining water does spill out from the top vent, so have a tea towel there to catch the water that comes out. Other than that, the item’s pretty much perfect. Having the different temperatures are perfect for if you’re trying to make tea, coffee, hot chocolate from little kids. Well, not as pretty as the Japanese brands at only 1/3 price I’d say you can’t go wrong.

Bought this 4 and a half years ago, its still going strong, it keeps water at the temperature you pick for as long as its on (plugged in). Its easy to open and fill. Fairly quick to heat up cold tap water. I couldnt go back to a regular kettle! As we live in a hard water area,we do have to descale it, but thats not difficult. It also keeps the butter soft all winter, by resting the metal butter dish on top. Just enough warmth escapes to keep the butter spreadable! Dont put butter on top in just its foil (like i did) cos you will have to dismantle the lid to clean butter out of it (like i did! - shant do that again) The only issue i can see is the lid opening lever - its a bit warped, but still works and the chrome plating has flaked off but i covered it in black vinyl, it looks much better now anyway. In short, if waiting for a kettle to boil annoys the snot out of you and you love hot drinks, you need this! Plus u can put the timer function on overnight/when ur out and it powers down for how long u select. Then u have water ready for when u get back! Picture is of warped, recovered button! The only i

Very easy to use and simple switches.

This is excelent Ideal capacity and not physically too.big

I have always used instant hot water dispensers from a famous Japanese brand for so many years and they were excellent no problem at all. But I am really very disappointed with this product because of the strange chemical taste of the hot water and I found out that there are many reviews in that sense. Definitely i will not use it as it definitely has a health hazard and would very much like to return it but unfortunately I bought it online and got it delivered to my friend in UK then got it hand carried to me outside UK so there is no chance returning it. I am very disappointed for losing my hard earned money this way yet still hope the seller refunds me after reading my review and finds a way to ship back to him this rubbish dispenser. Any help in that sense would be highly appreciated 🙏
