New Hamilton Beach 10 Cup Electric Kettle Cord-Free Serving Auto Shutoff With Boil-Dry Protection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the second one we have purchased in two years and we won't be buying another. The first lasted just over a year and started to leak in both water windows and now, after just three months, the second one is doing the same thing. We loved the look so we called Hamilton Beach and talked to some unconcerned representative, who could care less about the malfunction! We were told that all warranty issues go direct to the engineers, but if that was so, why do we have the same issue a year later??? Our solution is cut the cord off, send in $8 with your receipt, get the replacement, sell it on Ebay to fund buying a better kettle by someone else.

Sunbeam Hot Shot Beverage Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a marvelous appliance because it is just so darn simple! I bought one to keep in my office at work for making tea, and it has worked out great!
There isn't even an on/off switch. Just put water in it, plug it in, and a red light goes off when it is ready to pour. Put a mug under the dispenser, push the lever, and there you go!
One reviewer said that it does not have a fill-to line, and so water can spill over. I don't see this as a problem. Just heat as much water as you need. I fill up my mug with hot water, pour the water into the appliance, and dispense the water when it is hot back into the mug. Oddly enough, I get out exactly the same amount as I put in! Don't try to heat more than 16 ounces at a time.
The Hot Shot does only one thing, but boy does it do it well! Easy to use, simple to clean, and attractive on the counter. Love having hot tea without fussing with heating water in the office microwave!

If cocoa, tea, or cup o' noodles are part of your daily routine, consider the convenience of this appliance. Hot water morning, noon, and night. Not only is this great at home, it's an excellent choice for dorm rooms, workshops, and offices.

Sunbeam 6131 Hot Shot Hot Water Dispenser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used a Hot Shot a whole lot for heating up water for drinking various types of tea and other beverages. If it's right for what you're brewing, it really is a great product--the water is heated within a minute or two, which is way faster than a kettle, and it holds the perfect amount for a large mug.
There are a couple things to note though. Like other reviewers have said, because of the product's design, some taller mugs (especially large vacuum-sealed caddy mugs) won't fit in to receive the water, so you either can't use them or have to dispense the water into another container first and pour it from there. Also, you definitely should empty the excess water after you're done--you might even want to open the lid while it's still warm to let the extra moisture evaporate. This is because the inside is metal, and re-re-reheated water that's been sitting in there gets a bit gross and might not be the healthiest.
The last issue, which affects me more than it may others, is that the Hot Shot heats the water to boiling or very near to boiling. This is great if you're drinking black tea, hot chocolate, or hot cider, but if you're drinking green tea (which takes hot water that is well below boiling), the water from the Hot Shot can be too hot and make the tea bitter. If it's right for the beverage you want to make, though, I can't recommend a more convenient or quick option.
