[Originally review January 2009 (3 stars), Updated July 2010]We bought one of these for our home and liked it so much I got another for my office. It is a quick safe way to boil water. It works much better than our teapot on our conventional stove and you can leave the room without worry about all the water boiling out and a possible fire.It is so efficient that we often use it to heat up water before putting it in a pan on the stove. It is much faster. When we are making pasta we will put a small amount of water in a large pan and fill the teapot. The water in the pot is boiling before the water on the stove. The pot is light, even when full, and has no aftertaste like I have read some of the plastic ones do.HOWEVER, we had owned our home pot for less than six months when the 'on' switch broke off. The pot was still usable, but you have to reach in and activate it with a fingernail. It was under limited warranty, but that involved mailing it to San Diego at our own...

It's not often that one finds a product that's both visually attractive AND functionally satisfying. This kettle is one of those rare items: the shiny stainless steel body is beautiful to look at, and it boils water very very quickly! It features a nice big and sturdy handle which is very comfortable, and the spout is perfectly designed so that you'd have to be a real klutz to spill things. The cordless feature is wonderful, I tried a cheap ten dollar "Hot Pot" for a day or two and hated having to deal with the cord, plus that model doesn't have automatic shutoff despite what it says on the box---huge fire hazard! There is also a power-indicator light and water-level indicator gauge which are both handy, and I like that there is no exposed heating element inside which would be a pain to clean. Instead it's all smooth clean lines, inside and out!Sure the outside of the kettle does get a little hot so you probably don't want to have this within reach of toddlers or...

I bought this after I was so disappointed with a Breville one. The pot does get hot but I don't have any children or pets to worry about. The boil time is very fast and there is no coil on the inside so I do not have to worry about the build-up or rust I have experienced with other kettles. The water tastes good and clean. For this price it is very affordable! I do have to admit that the pot seems a little cheaply made, but I didn't expect much since it seems to be less than half the price of others of the same volume and style. I am very happy with this!!Update (more than a month later): this is still working so quick and perfectly! I couldn't be happier!

Wanderport Successfully Completes Water Flow Tests on Its Eco-Friendly ...

May 22, 2012 | The successful water flow tests utilized data from recent forensic and finite element analysis (FEA) providing a better understanding and preparation for the challenges faced during water flow tests at municipal water pressure levels. (pinksheets:WDRP) announced today the successful completion of water flow tests at municipal pressure levels on the innovatively energy saving multi-cavity microwave water heating unit (MCMHU). The results were successful and significant because they validate the MCMHU's heat engine specifically equipped with the latest heat exchanger design and recently re-designed water cooled magnetrons supplied by Asia's Witol/Midea factory. These magnetrons limit particle build-up with more robust water jackets also capable of accepting industry standard connectors. Moreover, recent successful negotiations to purchase the magnetrons directly from the source (Witol/Midea) will contribute to lower unit cost and shorter lead times to receive these critical components in the production of our proprietary heat...

Questions & Answers

Water Heater?

Mar 30, 2007 by linkinparkchic

I live in an apartment and my water doesnt stay hot enough for longer than one person to take a shower without waiting a couple of hours between the showers. This is very annoying so I asked the maintenance man about it and he said my water heater was new and it probably just needed to be turned up but yet he never sent anyone to do this.
So do you think he's full of crap or can turning up the water heater really help fix this problem.
If so how can I do this myself? Is it just a knob?
Its an electric water heater.

there are or should be 2 covers on the side of the heater. 1 screw holds the cover on. Underneath each cover is a control for the thermostat. Make sure both are set at the same temp. About 125 degrees should be ok for you. There should be a mark for this temp. Turn the breaker off to the heater if it makes you less scared to take the cover off. Just be careful what you touch if you don't turn it off.

What to do with water heater and water softner when draining water from plumbing?

Jul 06, 2007 by oskeewow13

Hello! I may have a problem with water hammer or pockets of air or whatever in my plumbing system. In order to troubleshoot, I want to drain the water from the pipes for the whole house and then refill it. What should I do with the water in water heater and water softner? Do I drain the water heater and water softner? Just turn power off on my Kenmore water softner? or use bypass valve? Thanks for your time!

turn off the heater. shut the valve to prevent siphoning. by-pass the softener. install water hammer devices sold at your hardware store. you may need a few if four house is big. if you need to you can use compression fittings or tiger gripps.
