Is it good for hot water?

Yes! I purchased it to make homemade tea, and I put the boiling water directly into it. No problem so far. It also has a nice slim design, for a 64oz pitcher.

Yes, you can use this machine for hot water on demand by using the yellow cleaning disc. You may have to cycle it twice to get a full cup. That said, the quality of Tassimo coffee makers has declined since their first models came onto the market. I've had this model a few months and it is inconsistent and leaks water under the unit. Be sure of the return policy of the seller. I tried to return my defective coffee maker and the seller refused it, stating that they do not accept return of used items.

It is suitable as far as not ever running out of hot water. Your problem may come because it doesn't run out of hot water people can take in a crazy long shower which could ultimately result in a higher Electric bill. We noticed a much higher bill when our daughter was home from college because she loves very long showers. But overall I think it has saved us a lot of money. We have two baths the washer and dryer and dishwasher and never have a shortage of hot water.

I found it to be less than satisfactory in regards to heating water for much of anything... I ended up using it as a Point of Use booster on a existing hotwater line after Plumbing a hotwater line to the point where. I had purchased this unit for originally. I hope that gives you enough info to come to a conclusion.

It can be used for pretty much anything that doesn't require very hot water. Warm is about the best mine has done. Hot is out of the question for this device.

I usually start with hot water, but the thing will heat water and keep it at a nice temp. I like it hot, not tepid, and it does the trick.

I am not sure that pouring very hot (e.g. boiling) water in it is a very good idea. It's not insulated, so it would get very hot to hold, plus I'm not sure whether the plastic would emit any chemicals due to hot water or not. I put relatively warm water in it with no troubles, but it's only about 100F or so.

I use this one in my kitchen sink for cold drinking water, I don't think it can be used for hot water as well. You may call or contact 3M first before you buy it! Good luck!!

Yes, definitely. I fill mine with hot tap water. I love it. I do have a cover that I had from my old one that broke that I put on it so I don't know how hot it feels without the cover.

Hot water is only produced when there is demand for it and there is a short delay while the water is heated. So, you can get a momentary cool water output, but I would not call it a problem. In fact, I hardly notice if it happens.

It does not say that it will on the box. With the carrier being made of a plastic material, I'm not sure that it would hold hot water.

It does work perfectly. You have to get used to letting the water run (up to a minute) for the hot water to reach a distant faucet.

I can't recommend this hose for hot water (or cold water for that matter). Mine burst within a week of use.

That's a good question. I would say yes with hot tap water, but not so sure about boiling water.

I honestly don't know because I only use it for hot water. You could experiment and see, but I'd suggest waiting the time recommended by the manufacturer.

I have never tried it for hot water but I am pretty sure it is not designed for hot water or the seals inside. I would not use it for that purpose.
