Seems to be the best deal for an instant hot water dispenser

I bought this as a replacement for a Kitchen Aid dispenser which no longer exist but are of very similar design. I like the fact that the thermal fuses reset. My old dispenser had two non-resetting fuses, one of which failed so I bypassed it assuming I still had one remaining thermal fuse but I always assumed I was a bit at risk. The old dispenser valve attached from above with a screw. This one attaches from below requiring a basin wrench to tighten. The water heater is 1300 watts although not stated in the listing. So far this has not caused any problems as it's on the same circuit as the garbage disposal and the dishwasher. It installs without additional hardware if everything happens to be located close together. This was not the case for me and it required an additional length of copper tubing and a connector. The quick connects work surprisingly well and don't leak if properly installed. The amazing thing about this package is that the valve alone is about $90 and the water heater alone is about $150 but purchased as a package, the total was only $134 delivered.

This is the first hot water dispenser I got from Panasonic. I have been using another brand for the past 15 years. I have had it for a couple of weeks. It is working fine. The only thing I feel need improvement is the cover, which feels too think, and not solid. Hope it will last for a long time without issue. Therefore I am giving it a four star instead of five.
Amazon offers greatest service. My first shipment got lost during shipment, and Amazon immediately sent me a replacement. After a few weeks USPS just located the first shipment and delivered it to me, which I will be sending back to Amazon.

This is a delight as the spigot works so easily, it was easy to install (maybe, because it was a replacement) but I
do not know how I ever kept house without this instant hot water.  I love it!

If you are looking for a quick easy way to get a cup of hot water then you will enjoy this B & D coffeemaker.
It does have lots of plastic parts which contact the hot water. I would prefer all stainless steel but
there were no such appliances like that at the time of purchase. This works for tea bags also and just plain water for hot chocolate or instant food items.  Now i have a stainless steel water boiler with auto shut off.

A quick review for people looking for a faster hot water solution other than a tea kettle or microwave:

* We recently renovated the kitchen, and had an instant hot/cold filtered water tap installed
* Then we moved

I purchased this to replace the convenience of that tap, and if you are in a space that you can't modify, this is a great solution.

* Form: The interior is stainless steel, while the exterior and handle are plastic. The cord is about 4', long enough to go behind the oven to the next nearest outlet. The height leaves about 4 or 5 inches clearance beneath the cabinets, which is a near perfect fit.

* Function: There's a dispense button (powered) and also a large push lever to dispense while unplugged; the top has a simple turn lock to keep it from being pushed accidentally. It heats water quickly and the water it dispenses is always hot without being scalding (one of these days I'll get the temperature it dispenses at). 5.3L is enough for two people who drink a lot of coffee and tea for 3 or 4 days before it needs refilled.

* Verdict: It gets constant every day use, it's sturdy, it intelligently designed, it works well. If you're looking for something along these lines, this is a great choice.

Installed this product with average skills of a DIY'fer. Has worked  very well. Love the insta-hot filtered water.
You will need to locate an instal-hot dispenser.

It does what said in the description. Convenience is key. Reboil and timer are handy features. Been using for a month...so far so good. Highly recommend for those who need hot water all day/night.

We previously had a Hot Water Dispenser but it broke after a couple of months.  We love this.  If the hot waster for hand washing dishes isn't quite ready, this is hot all the time and can be used until the regular water line starts the hot water.

The sink hookup, which automatically shuts off when the water is turned off, is particularly convenient. After a couple of weeks, I'm impressed. Better yet, the price went down substantially during the few days it sat in my basket.

Best price, works well but not very good instruction.

I bought this unit to replace our 20 years old unit.  Instructions are not quite clear but it wasn't hard for me as I am quite familiar with the system. The old unit already have supply line tapped and drain line connected.  This unit works very well with plenty water for everyone. RO membrane came with this unit is rated for 50 gallon per day. This is big for residential. This unit is about the best price out there.  Sure recommend skill plumber for installation unless you are mechanically incline. Plastic tubing (connect to bottom of the dispenser)will collapse when crimped under the ferrule will cause leak so a small brass sleeve inserts are required. The installation kit didn't come with it.  I am the kind that happen to keep everything so that saved me a trip to Ace Hardware store.

Replacement filters (5 pack) for this unit cost only $27 where there are unit out there that is a lot easier to install but the filter cartridges are not generic.  A pack of those filters for 6 months replacement can cost as high as $70 and this is without RO membrane!

I do not find any paper work to fill and send in warranty or no website I can reach to file a warranty.

This is a great little heater for coffee, tea, hot cocoa, soup, or any other drink that needs only hot water to prepare. The only two points I'd consider a possible negative or at least something to be aware of are:

1. Instead of coming out the back as all the ones I've seen in the past do, the cord of this one comes out of the top. This isn't a problem if you can put the entire cord on the counter next to your mug or cup, but if the outlet isn't that close, the weight of the cord will tend to make this heater rather top heavy.

2. The description of the burn guard is wrong, it's purpose isn't to keep the heating coil away from the sides of the mug or cup you are heating the water in, instead its purpose is to allow you to lay the hot heater on the counter and the burn guard will keep the heating coils off the counter preventing the counter from being burned. My solution to that is to have a second mug or cup filled with cold water handy to hang the heater on with the coils in the water, the cold water will cool the coils down to a safe level rather quickly, then there is no danger of burning the counter top.

Saw a similar dispenser at a hotel and needed something for office use. Heats up water in about two minutes or less, easy to use, and no messy clean up.

I use hot water all throughout my day. I use it in the morning for my morning coffee, in the afternoon for my second coffee, and at night to make my cats food. I got tired of having to boil water multiple times per day. This item seemed like the perfect fix for my situation. It took a couple cycles of water to get the device really clean, at first there was an odd smell, but now it is completely gone. The one negative i will say about this item is that the instructions are pretty poor. I was confused for a while if i was suppose to leave it plugged in all the time, or unplug it each time i need it. From what i can tell you are just suppose to leave it plugged in at all times, but im still not 100% sure. I also am curious to see how much power this thing used from being on at all times. All in all, i don't notice a spike in my electricity bill and this item makes my day to day life a lot easier and i would recommend it. *I was given this product at a discount for my honest review.

Our existing insinkerator (F-HC1100SN) hot and cold water dispenser that I installed 8 years ago is still running reliably in our kitchen sink.  I've changed the water filters annually and I've disassembled the faucet every 3-4 years to clean hard water deposits that have caused the hot and cold water levers to stick.  Although previous models weren't really designed to be serviced, its not only possible but isn't all that difficult if you are used to replacing o-rings in existing faucets or pressure balancing valves in showers... all the same maintenance to deal with wear and tear and semi-hard water.  Of all of the tweaking and rennovating I've done to the kitchen and house -- my wife still tells me that this has been one of her favorites.  With 4 kids, its provided instant hot water for warming baby bottles for the last 8 years.  Quick and hot tea, instant hot chocolate, Instant OATMEAL! and a great hot wash for assistance in dish cleaning.

What about this one?  better?  Yes!  I installed this one into a bar sink in our lower level.  You need to have adequate source plumbing skills to tie into your existing cold water pipe.  Other reviewers complain about not having a T supplied to do this -- it's not practical  because not everyone has the same pipes (copper, cpvc, PEX) or sizes... so what the mfr provides is cost effective and appropriate.  There's enough tubing and extremely easy and very reliable push to fit connections that mounting and securing these up and out of the way under the sink was simple.  For more intricate or complex locations, it's easy to pick up more tubing at your local big box.

I went ahead and purchased the F-2000S filtration unit an plumbed it into our installation.  Our tap water is pretty decent, but filtered water always makes foods or drinks taste better, especially when heated.  Just remember to always install your filter where its easy to replace - e.g. not behind everything that makes you empty the cabinet when you need to replace the filter.  Always use a sharpie and make the date of installation of your filters... I always forget and need to look to see how long its been there -- and change them at LEAST once a year.

The brushed stainless is a nice subtle look and the button and clean curve make this unit classy and understated.  It's functional and elegant with a modern look.  I'm still getting used the the button over the lever in our other sink, but its nice that you never accidentally bump it on.  The pricing isn't terrible for a kitchen fixture, especially one that includes the hot water tank.  I'm pretty sure my Kohler faucet makes this units cost inexpensive in comparison, or a pot filler or any other niche brushed nickel kitchen hardware that connects to your plumbing.  Great addition to the kitchen or bar - if we ever move, I'll be getting another in the next house.

A few recommendations:  If you don't already have a hole in your counter for this, plan for it accordingly.  Ensure that the spout terminates over the edge of the sink.. not on it, or you will eventually leave water marks or a mess.  If you are installing on the same side that also has a disposal unit in the basin, especially the insinkerator "John Gotti" Evolution 1HP model (it will 'dissapear' anything), you may have to remove the disposal  for some working room.  If you are right handed and will operate the button with your right hand more comfortably while holding a cup in your left... right side of sink, etc.  YMMV, just consider placement before getting crazy with your hole saw or bit... counters are expensive and unforgiving to human error.

We've been using the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/PUR-DS-1800Z-2-Stage-Water-Dispenser/dp/B0006MQCA4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">PUR DS-1800Z 2-Stage Water Dispenser</a>&nbsp;for more than 2 years now and, in my view, it's the most convenient and effective water filtration system. If the dispenser is what makes the package convenient, it's the filter that makes it effective.

As far as I can tell, the 40-gallon replacement suggestion is way too conservative. We found that the water as as odor-free and fresh-tasting after 3 months of use as it did after one month. Overall, we are very happy with the quality of water and the filter's life. I believe that we replace filters after about 3 months.

These filters are:

- inexpensive
- effective
- easy to replace

Some may not like the fact that there is no indicator showing when it's time to replace the filter.

By the way, I must say "thank you Amazon" for helping me always pick the right consumables for the items I buy from Amazon. All it takes is to go back to the listing for the Two-Stage dispenser and Amazon immediately shows me exactly which filter I am going to need. Life is a little less complicated this way.

P.S. - I'd go with the 'economy' 3-pack solutions to save a little.

I was so glad to see that Sunbeam still makes this product.  When we remodeled out kitchen we had an instant hot water tap put in...so the Hot Shot was passed on.  Now 20 years late our instant hot water tap quit working so I immediately started checking to see if they still made this product. The Hot Shot really does heat faster than a microwave.  For the low price, I'm not so sure I'll be in much of a hurry to buy a replacement instant hot water tap and have it installed.

I have been using this handle and a hot water dispenser from Insinkerator for almost 2 years now and I love it! The water from the dispenser can be dialed to near-boiling and saves me a lot of time when I'm boiling pasta or steaming vegetables. It also makes instant hot chocolate. I use my hot water dispenser daily and have loved having it. Despite what some reviews say, the handle feels sturdy to me and I have had no problems with it.

I highly recommend this product.
