Here is my experience after using this water pot for a month.

Pro's -
1) Good looking
2) Compact

Con's -
1) In a room that is 70 degree fahrenheit, the pot re-heats automatically every hour or so in order to maintain the water temperature. In my opinion, it is too often. Looks like the insulation is not as good.
2) There is small gap around the edge of the cover. It appears to be a cosmetic issue but it may also cause the insulation less effective.
3) Has plastic smell in water due to the plastic part used for insulation. The smell went away slightly after I boiled lemons in the pot for a couple of times but it is still noticeable.
4) No pumping option. If there is no electricity, it is useless. You cannot carry it with you to picnic.

Hot water on demand for tea lovers January 2, 2010

You find hot pots like these in Asia, where hot green tea is drunk year-round. We decided to purchase one after a visit to friends in Thailand, and it's been a real favorite around the house.

The unit is lined with stainless steel and holds 3 liters or shy of a gallon of water. We use filtered water, of course. You plug it in on the side. The cord has a magnetic end that fits on the unit and then plugs into the wall socket. The magnetic plug is nice, as you can quickly remove the plug from the unit, rather than tug at a unit full of boiling water. You dispense water into your mug by pressing the top button and water comes out the spout under the top in front. I don't think this is something I'd let children use, as they could pull it down on themselves or spill scalding water on themselves if they don't dispense properly. So, adult supervision and keep it out of reach.

The water heats up in about five to seven minutes, boiling the water then holding it at sub-boiling temperature, perfect for tea or instant or filtered coffee or instant cocoa. If you run down the water, you can check the level on the front where there is a level indicator. After you add more water by lifting up the top, you can hit the Reboil button and heat up the additional water. The unit will not keep temperature correctly if you don't fill it above the minimum, so we tend to keep it at least half full at all times.
