Panasonic 3L Water Boiler Electric Hot Water Dispenser Countertop w/Slow-Drip Mode for Coffee & Tea, 4 Temp Presets, Charcoal‑Purified Stainless, Auto Shut‑Off, Timer & Safety Lock - NC-EG3000

As a tea snob I can't find a single fault with this. Excellent electric boiler! The four heat presets make it super versatile for different needs. I specifically chose this model for the carbon lining to help purify the water, and it really delivers on that end. Such clean water. It’s efficient, easy to use, and looks great on the counter.

Very good 👍

We're a household of three people, but just two of us are regular users of hot water, and this is perfect! It has enough features to be more than useful without being overly complicated for my elderly mother. The best part is that it simply works super well! It is also stylish enough and the size is just right. It's been almost two months and we are still very happy with it.

Works as intended and gives me hot water with a press of a button anytime I needed to make tea and coffee

This is a very good product. Keeps the water hot. Great for hot tea.

it is very cute. not too bulky but hold enough water.

Drinking hot teas all day requires hot water at your disposal. Although electric tea kettles boil water quite fast, they are poor for keeping the water at desired temperature for tea brewing. Although expensive, this is one of the products that are essential in a tea lover's life. Besides, I use hot water from the dispenser to get cooking started, cutting down prep time whenever I use the dispenser. I put the machine into stand-by mode when I go to bed. After six hours, it reboils and gets hot water ready at desired temperature. As a bonus, such convenience makes my morning go a little bit smoother and less hectic.

I used my last Panasonic about 18 years, 24/7. It's finally a bit weak in the keep-hot department so we ordered another one. Just heating water in it for the first time, controls and looks are all the same. I almost got a Zoj.... for 50% more, and then why pay more for something that looks and works the same? Very happy with this little guy. *I use filtered water, and outside of trying to clean it a couple times in the first couple of years (nothing to clean), the old one still clean on the inside.

Keeps water hot and dispenses when needed. What else would I need it to do? Decent quality in a tidy footprint on my counter. I'm happy.

Useful fir my parents.

This is a make in Thailand, Panasonic economy version of the Zojirushi 4 litre table top water heater ( made in Japan) that I had for 13 years. The temperature sensor finally quit and replacement part is not available. The control switches of the two are the same but the prices are $100.00 cheaper. The added feature is the 6 hours holding switch that won't let the heater continuously re-heating the water at the chosen temperature. This is very useful at night to save electricity when one does not need the hot water. Then 6 hours later, the heater will re-boil and brings the chosen temperature back up in the morning. Being on the economy side, the Panasonic body is plastic while the Zojirushi is stainless steel, so you lost a little heat. The boiling time of the Panasonic is about 10 minutes longer. From cold to boiling the Panasonic takes about 37 minutes. Once the boiling is done the Panasonic makes no sound while the Zojirushi will sing a short tune (if music is important to you). Both brands suggest you clean it with Citric acid, it is cumbersome because it requires many rinses to get the acid taste out of the unit, so a little soapy water clean once a month will do just a fine job. There is a specific side that you pour the water out of the heater, it is marked on the inside of the water heater. Another suggestion; don't keep changing your water temperature, set one up and stays with it, your unit will last longer. Furthermore, don't keep hitting the re-boil button, just let the unit keeps the temperature automatically, it is designed to do it. With proper care, I expect the unit to last 8-9 years or more. Overall, I am quite happy with the unit and it functions every bit as well as the Zojirushi, while the quality is high, a good value for the money.

Excellent! We're happy with this product!

Hot water anytime for tea, coffee or meal prep. Reliable brand at affordable cost.
