Title: This heats up extremely quickly and holds the temperature well.
Review: I bought this for a specific use to melt butter for a yearly corn roast I do for our church congregation. Instead of bringing a propane stove and pot and melt butter in that I wanted something a little easier to deal with. This pot being that it pours really fit the bill. We used this and it worked extremely well at the lowest setting it's still would boil the water in the butter but just barely. It was able to keep the butter hot to be ready when we needed it for the corn. We poured it directly into butter cans then people use brushes in the can to apply the butter. This made our job much easier than carrying all of that extra equipment to the park where we have the roast. I could see how this would work well for just heating up water for tea and keeping the water at the temperature that you want it to be at. It looks nice It was not that expensive and it really worked well for what we used it for.

Title: Compact, surprisingly decent, priced right
Review: We bought this hot pot for a camper on the go. We were pleasantly surprised to see how spot-on the advertising is: It boils water in about 2~3 minutes which is great for tea, and keeps it boiling long enough for a package of ramen. The diameter is perfect for the standard sized and circular ramen bricks; "fancy" ramen that is a little larger you kind of have to finesse in while boiling but it softens up fast and works well. Even though we stir it anyway, the heating area seems even as we can watch the noodles circulate from top to bottom while boiling.We haven't made anything terribly messy in it except for one dish that was designed to simmer and boil down to preparedness. It was a little rough cleaning burny bits off the hot plate (don't forget, do NOT use metal to clean it) but they are completely gone without a trace after a few boils so I can't complain much.I was a little concerned about the plastic nature of the pot itself in the beginning, but after a nearly 3-digit number of things prepared, it is holding up very well. Other comments about the steam vent's placement are accurate. Seems like common sense, but don't put your hand over it or your hand will scald. I guess they could've moved them to the front of the pot for ergonomics. *shrug*I'm not sure if it's this model or just our hotpot or what, but for some reason we only get about 5 minutes of constant water boil out of it before the hotpot clicks off. This isn't a huge issue but gets a little weird when making mac&cheese and you spend a minute *not* boiling the water, then things go back to normal. Speaking of mac&cheese, note that the size is 32oz. Typical instructions say you'll need 6 cups of water (ie. 48oz) so don't expect to be able to do wonders!Last but not least, we are thankful for the temp control, but it doesn't seem to provide a true variance in temperature. It's just a variable smooth non-clicky knob, seems either "warm" or "boil" are the useful positions as an end-user and in-between is just...there.Bottom line: Everyone seems to be paying twice as much for hotpots designed to do what this one does, and the other ones seem to have weird issues. Despite its shortcomings , we have been happy with this hotpot and would buy another one in a heartbeat.

Title: Great item with 2 drawbacks
Review: This item is very practical, versital and economical and works as described. However there are 2 drawbacks to becaware of. #1, the lid sticks and therfore is a burn hazard when trying to wedge open in use. I suggest not closing it completly when cooking. #2 There is no on/off switch so as soon as you plug it in, it gets hot. Don't wait to add food. Also, when done, remember to unplug ASAP. If you can live with these 2 things, you will love this product.

Title: A good little electric kettle.
Review: I just wish that it was made in aluminum, like they used to be. Good for when you want to boil a small amount of water.

Title: Fairly happy
Review: This pot does heat up very quickly so in that respect I got what I needed and the price was right. However, it could have been more thoughtfully designed. Until I got used to where the steam exited I got painful blasts of steam on my wrists. Now I know better! Another minus is the lid being very difficult to remove. I agree with other reviews and got scalded. I find the lid DOES get a little easier with time. Tip: push down and out to the side when removing. Lastly, the cord has a life of its own. Along with being too short it's very stiff. Wasn't expecting this and probably would look for a better designed pot the next time.

Title: A product that boils water quickly and efficiently
Review: I use it for pasta, of course, but also for corn on the cob; I have to split the ear in two to fit in the pot. Delightful with butter and salt.

Review: So I have tested this product and it works as advertised however after reading some reviews saying that there's no Off Switch and that spark comes out of the plug once you unplug to turn it off well it's not true they don't understand how to use this thing let me explain it to you..So once you finished boiling your stuff simply turn the temperature down to the lowest setting this will turn off the element since you were boiling it at the max temp by default setting it down to the lowest temp will force it to shut off to allow it to cool and will only come back on once temp reaches below the setting which gives you 2 mins after boiling and turning it down to the lowest setting for you to safely unplug it to turn it off safely without sparks.The reason it sparks is because this device is using 1KW or 1000 Watts so in comparison a Mini Fridge would have about 150-200Watts on average so this thing is basically taking as much power as 5 mini fridges so obviously when you pull the plug on it while it's still on and drawing power sparks are going to be an issue however as I said previously by turning it down to the lowest after boiling it at max temp it will auto shut temporarily which allows you to pull the plug safely since it's not currently running at 1KWAlso wait approximately 10-15 seconds after turning down to the lowest setting to ensure it turned off before you unplugI hope this review helps your purchasing decision I have been enjoying this so far very convenient. But I do need to add 1 more thing the cable length is very short so if that's an issue for you do not purchase this.

Review: Bought for travel. In the end I found it too bulky/ large size for that purpose. However, the water heats up very quickly - much quicker and quietly than my kettle. Temp control dials work great. I ended up keeping it as a spare kettle and may use it for work or car camping or travel where luggage space is not at a premium. Quality item. As others have mentioned I also find the lid quite tight so I don't secure it fully when boiling water. I don't mind that there is no on/off switch. Easy to clean.

Review: If you like hot tea or coffee, this is a must for your next trip. It boils water quickly and can keep water warm or hot by automatic reboiling. You can also cook instant noodle with this pot. The lid got tabs and the pot got slots. When they locked in, it is hard to open the lid. After the water is boiling, be very careful to open the lid. You may burn you hands. If you don't need to open the lid immediately after boiling, wait until the pot is cooled down. If you need to open the pot while it is hot, just cover the pot with the lid loosely.
