Zojirushi CV-DCC50XT VE Hybrid Water Boiler & Warmer

Time is the resource that is hardest to buy. This saves me roughly 5-10 minutes a day since I'm not sitting waiting for my teakettle to boil. This boiler is expensive, but over 10 years that would amount to 18k-36k minutes,300-600 hours or 12 to 24 days saved. So far the electricity cost is actually less than using my old kettle each day. A few minor improvements would be: Allow me to completely disable sounds, currently you can disable the sounds when a reboil completes, but the button tones still sound. Adding a clock would allow me to use the energy saver function. As it currently works I have to remember to activate it each night at the correct time. I also think a larger size would be nice. I'm not sure how it would affect energy consumption, but I suspect I wouldn't have to do a reboil every day with an 8 liter model. Overall it is a great boiler. If you're a heavy tea drinker, it's a real time saver.

I am in love with my purchase. I went for the bigger size because I knew that having more water in the tank helps with keeping it warmer longer (when using vacuum mode). I appreciate the delay feature so I can have water ready in the morning. Taking the top on and off is easy and allows for easy pouring. I wasn't sure if I wanted/needed the magnetic plug as that was one of the biggest differences between this and another model. I still do not know but, either way, I like the one I have.
