Don't forget to purchase the extended warranty too......

Annie, glad to know Hot Shots are just for college students anymore!

I definitely think you should take advantage of that offer. Plugging in an appliance isn’t as easy as it seems.

Those plugs can be tricky, they only go in one way and it likely takrs special training to figure that out. While you're at it maybe you can get help plugging in your hair dryer, your lamps, your vacuum..... ;-)

I bought my last Hot Shot at a thrift shop for $1! It needed a slight adjustment, took 10 seconds, works great. My mum turned me on to them.

Is the instant hot water thingie hot enough for tea? I use an electric kettle to boil the water for my tea; I assume the hot water dispenser doesn't get QUITE that hot?

I like my tea HOT, so only a real kettle on the stove will do. Most other gadgets barely get the water warm.

Oh that's funny!! I have an electric kettle that I use every day for coffee and tea, I absolutely love it. It boils water so fast.

My mother likes her tea hot, too, so she makes it with the instant hot water tap, then microwaves it for a few seconds.

I'll install it for only $150. :D

It makes boiling hot water.

So funny. Amazon didn’t read your mind very well this time.

My friend gave me a "Cup-at-a-Time" (Black & Decker) some time ago and I enjoy it. It has a permanent filter, that I let fill with grounds some, except in summer when it molds. Don't let it fill too far ... or the blow-off at the end of the water will splash grounds into the water tank and drain.

It's not the type that would enable a connection to a water line, hot or not, I'm sure.

Daughter gave me a large "Arizona" mug (some influenced by neighbouring Texas, possibly?) that'll go in the slot only at an angle.

No idea of the price, but think it'll be fairly reasonable.

ole joyfuelled ... also fuelled (questionably?) by coffee (with c & s)

What a deal (for he installer)!!

I bought electric kettles for Christmas one year for my sisters. They love them. They bring water to boil quickly and no wasting water running in the sink till it gets hot. They definitely get as hot as a pot on the stove. I no longer have mine unfortunately.

Annie I just know you want some burley handyman to come over and plug in your hot shot. LOL

Ha!

Maybe they were concerned that you'd try using the hot shot upside down. You've got to get that appliance installed correctly, you know!

I never use hot tap water for anything to eat or drink as the hot water can dissolve contaminants from your plumbing which you will then ingest, esp if your plumbing is older. If I need it hot, I use cold and then heat it.

Ida yes, it comes out steaming hot. It is filtered as well. When we helped both DDs renovate their apartments we made sure to install them there as well.

Once you get used to it, it is hard going back.

The other way I use it is if I need boiling water fast for pasta etc. This water plus using the power burner gives me quick boiling water.
