The pot’s control touchpad is cleanly laid out, with satisfying buttons, function lights, and a digital display that shows present water temperature, temperature setting, and remaining time. An automatic lock helps keep fingers safe, and an automatic safety device cuts power to prevent overheating. Other helpful details include a wrap-around water level gauge, a 360-degree swivel base, a nonstick interior, a removable power cord, and a basket-style handle to simplify transport. The pot is no speed demon, taking about 27 minutes to boil a 3.0 liters, but its convenience makes up for the initial time investment. Zojirushi also makes the pot in 2.2-liter and 4.0-liter versions. --Emily Bedard

Content: Faster then my gas range top for the same volume of water plus the ability to hold at various temps all-day-long and to add more water as needed is great. Wonderful for filling my French Press or for making cups of tea. Loved my Zojirushi rice maker so much I had to give this product a try and I haven't regretted it.
Summary: fast and fun

Content: Zojirushi CD-LCC30 Micom 3.0-Liter Electric Dispensing Pot I have several Zojirushi Water Pots. But this one is my favorite.
I received it as a Gift from my Aunt who loves Zojirushi Products. Between her house and ours we buy alot of Zojirushi Items and none of them have ever disappointed us... They are of very high Quality and as far as anything else: they last along long time... Buy this Water Pot and you wont be disappointed... Ours stays on during the day and its great because the Water is always hot and ready for a Cup of Tea.
Summary: Another great Zojirushi Product. Well worth every dollar spent

Content:
After two years' of continuous use, interior coating is coming off. A few rusty spots have developed in the past 6 months. The company's website does not provide a replace container. I liked the Zojirushi brand but this one seems a disappointment.

Content: This type of hot water dispenser is standard for most traditional Asian households, and unless you never drink hot beverages, I wonder how other families do without it.

The product does what it advertises, and is way more convenient than a kettle. I still use the kettle if I need a large quantity of hot water for other purposes. For individual cups of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, etc. and for cooking, this dispenser makes it much easier. This and a rice cooker make an Asian kitchen complete.
Summary: Indispensible
