Pros: The consistency of the water temperature is great, the flow valves are very reliable, and the indicators are easy to read. While it takes a little longer than others to boil, it is boiling 4 liters of water and it keeps it hot all day. It has a nice shutoff/sleep mode feature if you leave it plugged in so it won't continuously re-boil if you don't use it within 36 hours.

Cons: It does take a while to boil - about 20-25 minutes for a full container. There can be some hard water issues if you use tap water - those can end up with rusting issues potentially. There are times when the water flow lessens on the first attempt, but if you let it off and then start it back up it is a full flow almost immediately

Overall Review: I have now bought three of these units - I have one at home, one in my office, and one in our general offices. I absolutely love this boiler. If you take the time and spend a few bucks to buy a Brita water pitcher filter you will eliminate almost all the issues others are experiencing with hard water staining and rusting. I have now used one of these units for over a year and it still heats steadily, it runs regularly for me, and it makes a dynamite cup of tea or a great french press. Our office staff uses it for ramen on the fly and oatmeal for breakfast and because it has such a large capacity, it can last an entire day without being refilled. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is because of the rare slow flow first tries and the issues with non-filtered water. However, just like any product that boils water, the better the water you put in the system the more long lasting your product will function highly. This is a great unit and I would recommend it highly!

Pros: Got the shipment in lightning fast, hooked everything up, cycled the router and the switch and everything was up and running with ease!

Cons: Would love a guarantee beyond 30 days, but for this price - you can't miss!

Overall Review: For those who need simple interconnection between multiple computers and network printers or are using media servers with gaming systems running DLNA protocol, this is an easy install and awesome price! I am using it to connect my laptop running Playon and streaming media through this device as a dispersal unit (not streaming unit) to my PS3 and X360 and it is working with great quality! Thanks again for the awesome deal Newegg!!!
