Does this keep the temp warm as described? & is it very heavy to lift to dump water out?

IT IS not hard to lift if you are not disabled. I would not spend this kind of money on it, I returned mine. The $35.00 one does the same thing. The bumpy things in the bottom are very painful to sensitive feet.

I love this foot bath. The water gets hot and it is not heavy to lift. It has a fill capacity draw on the tub of the bath. It is worth the money no matter what others have said. I really enjoy it-was kind of Leary-but delightfully happy with its performance.

Yes it does keep the water warm,I would say it holds 1 gallon which weighs about 8 lbs. and the unit its self weighs in about 10 lbs. I`m guessing.I Could not find a weight on the item. HOPe this helps you.

it does not heat-up the water. it protects the water from freezing. it does work really well to keep hot water from your faucet hot all the way to your pool or whatever you need. the pirit hose is stronger and thicker than a normal hose so it handles hot water pretty good and helps hold the heat in.

It gets warm but not hot. I often pour boiling water in mine just as I'm walking out the door and never have a problem with it getting too hot to hold. Drink yes; hold no.

Yea, this is actually the only one I found on the shelf that could "really" heat the water. I think it also keeps it warm. It's a gift for my mom. She told me it's great, so I am not 100% sure because she likes every gift I gave to her.

No, if you unplug it the water temperature seems to decrease fairly quickly. It will stay warm, but it's not hot and won't keep for 24 hours. I have both an airpot and 2 boilers, and the boilers are much more useful. The airpot is great if you want to be able to carry hot water around with you, but I prefer the convenience of having boiling hot water readily available anytime I want it, rather than having to boil it another pot or unit and then filling the airpot.

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.

No, it is not that heavy. The tank does screw in from the bottom, but I can hold it in my left arm, and screw the tank in without turning it upside down. It doesn't put out a lot of heat, but it is nice ambiance, and if you are sitting right next to it you can feel the warmth. Hope this helps!

yes it is pretty good. I push my feet up and back on the bottom. Only neg I found was the water gets cold very fast. I put in hot/warm water but it will not stay heated.

yes! It is actually engineered to hold hot water and I read that many have put it in their sleeping bag! It does NOT leak!

It's not meant to keep your water warm, only heat it up. If you want it to stay warm after you'll need a thermos.

Yes, it is hot when fully up to temp - you wouldn't want to grab and hold for long, but could pick up long enough to reposition. It includes 2 clip-on stands to elevate slightly from floor, which is desirable to help achieve better heat convection.

Yes it is heavy and I decided that you really don't have to. If the remaining water was that hot and it stays sealed, no air gets in and it shouldn't ever get moldy or anything. I don't see why you can't just leave the water there until the next time you use it.

If you mean is it heavy to handle NO, but it is much "heavier duty" than a regular hose and weights several times what a regular hose weights. I cannot weight at to tell you at this time as it is at home a couple hundred miles away, but I assume you may be ablte to find it with the product description or shipping information. If you want to use hot water this hose and an insulated nozzle is the way to go.

I had the same concern, it has a thermostat so it only runs when the water temperature is very cold. It also doesn't feel hot even when running. Trust me it will do a great job.

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.

Hi Judy Yes it does lift off the base. It is very light and it heats the water in under 2 min. I cannot imagine my life now without it. You will love it.

Yes. I've had my unit for over a year and keep it on 24/7 on the "keep warm" setting. I just keep refilling it when it runs low. I've been very pleased with this unit. The only cautionary advice I would offer is to get some sort of cloth urn cover because even with the "keep warm" setting, the urn itself (and also the water) remain ultra hot.
