Review on Zojirushi 4-Liter Hybrid Water Boiler and Warmer: Efficient Stainless Dark Brown Appliance by Kenkoy Braggs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Read the manual. Plastic melting issues are out of place

People posting pictures of a kettle lid melting after years Use, manual not read. About once a year it is necessary to change the inner lining of the cover. If you don't, the seal will eventually fail and the boiling water will reach the plastic and slowly eat away at it until after years of neglect and abuse it fails. Do this and your boiler will be fine. You probably don't even have to do it exactly every 12 months, but yeah, you avoid it for 3, 4, 5 years and you're going to have bad times. The same applies to images of corrosion and other growths. If you have hard water and then don't follow the cleaning cycle instructions, you're going to have a bad time. Maybe common sense is weird these days, but if you have a device that: 1. makes something I'm going to consume, and2. Assumes usage of power load, which will be 3. Preparation of boiling/very hot water and is4. Relative expensive. You should definitely read the instructions!
