I bought this product when it was on sale, it came 10 days later. We started to use it three weeks ago and I have to say that we love it...very convenient and easy to use. We hope it will last for a long time...

This water boiler/warmer has many nice features and blends in well with my other stainless steel appliances. I was wondering whether it was worth the high price, but after using it, I have no regrets.

About a month ago, we purchased the Zojirushi® VE Hybrid Water Boiler (CV-DSC40) specifically for making coffee. We got tired of the coffeemakers that make the coffee taste like plastic or get so gunked up inside that you can't get the coffeemaker clean. Now we enjoy fresh tasting coffee with a little extra effort. We are still looking for a good manual drip coffee maker that doesn't leave the coffee cold before you can even pour it into the cups.
This unit is very easy to set-up. At night we replace any left-over water with fresh water, set it to vacuum mode, set the number of hours on the timer then push the reboil button. Since the unit keeps the water hot for a long time, we really only use the vacuum mode. It only takes a few minutes to get the water boiling again. I find myself using the water for more than coffee. The other day I made rice and used the water from the boiler to kick-start the process. It was great not having to wait long for the water to boil. Also I have used it to quick 'sanitize' items. Just make sure that the container you are using to get the water can stand up to the heat because it gets really hot.
It does emit steam at the top so you have to be careful where you place the unit.
The number of hours on the timer are limited. It doesn't have a clock for a programmed time but I like that better because I don't have to set a clock. It would make the unit complicated.
I do wish the default setting for the buzzer was not the music. If it is unplugged too long when emptying the water it will revert to the music but it can easily be changed back to the beeping sound.
This unit is made in Japan but be aware that some of the Zojirushi product are made in China. This is one of the few purchases that I would make again. We did purchase a Zojirushi carafe that was made in China. Although the design was good, the carafe did not have the same quality and was returned. I hope our boiler holds up as I expect and, if possible, I will update later.

When I ordered this I wondered if I was doing the right thing. I am a tea drinker, and have had electric kettles for years, but needed to replace my last one. While kettles are great, I was always having to refill and reheat. I love the Zojirushi. It keeps water at the exactly right temperature (208 degrees), the water is ready in the morning because I can set it to heat up before I get up. It does take about 20 minutes to boil if you are just starting (will be longer in the winter when the water is colder), but with planning that is not an issue. Some others have commented on having to be careful to not place it under cupboards because it is tall and when it boils the steam will hit the cupboard. I find it less of an issue than with my kettle, especially since I had to bring the kettle to a boil every time I needed hot water. I love having hot water throughout the day and evening. The stainless steel finish fits right in with my stainless appliances. The only thing I might do differently is get the 3 liter instead--but the price was better on the 4 liter when I bought it, and I find I go through a lot more water than I thought I would, so I'm happy.

Most people talk about the Hot Water. But in fact when you add a new appliance to the kitchen the real question you need to ask is if this extra stuff makes your life better.
This Single Purpose Appliance is a very important part of my day. It makes that very important hot brew at the exact moment I need to have my cup. You will enjoy the nice looks and the quality of the presentation.
Nice features are:
So tall that it can fill even large pots with no lifting or tipping needed. Makes starting up water for Pasta very fast.
Hot soup from an instant "just add water" is now only a moment away.
Ok, so what is this "Happy Tune" title all about?
Yes each time the pot gets up to temp. it breaks out in a small song to say how happy it is to provide you with hot water.
I would bet that the next version will have Twitter so you can "follow" you hot pot on your iPhone/iPad.
