Sunbeam 6131 Hot Shot Hot Water Dispenser, Black

Another piece of junk from China! I had the original model in white that was made in the USA, and it lasted twelve years, and worked perfectly. This unit lacks the quality and features of the older model, and leaks as other reviews have indicated. It also does not heat to the temperature as the original. Stay away from this product. The Sunbeam name means nothing now.

Haven't used this much, but the one I used before worked great. Simply put, it dispenses scalding hot water in record time and it doesn't taste funny.

We have a Hot Shot that is at least 15 or more years old that we received for a Christmas gift. We love it so much that we bought one for my Mother-in-Law for Christmas last year (2007). They love it so much that they mentioned getting another one to use at their summertime camp home. So we bought it for my Father-in-Law's birthday in August, 2008. So now we are a 3-Hot Shot Family.

It is so easy and fast to use, and if you have an electric stove, the Hot Shot also saves on the electric bill. It is great for a quick cup of tea, coffee, instant hot chocolate, or any other beverage that is made with hot water. I would recommend this product whole-heartedly.

I bought this sleek black model to replace our old white Hot Shot that performed wonderfully for over 15 years. I read the reviews but decided to give it a try. I didn't really mind the slight leaking problem... we always emptied it after each use anyway. And the temperature was good for us, even for tea. But then after only two months we discovered it needed to cool a few minutes before it would allow us to heat a fresh fill of water. Then a few days later the heat button stopped working completely. It seems more trouble than it's worth to return it. I'm going back to the old model!

ITS UNBELEVEABLE MY WIFE THINKS THIS IS THE BEST
