As a college student I have limited access to a kitchen. I have another hotpot that I use to make soup and such, but I decided to purchase this hotpot to have a small one to heat up water for cocoa/tea/etc.I've been sorely disappointed with its performance. 1. It DOESN'T BOIL WATER.Yes, it does heat the water to a high temperature, but the water never actually boils.
2. It's EXTREMELY LOUD.The heating element makes very loud clicking sounds when it engages/dis-engages.(The way this hotpot works is to turn the heating element intermittently on and off until the highest temperature is reached.Once it's hot, the element continues to turn itself on and off-albeit less frequently than when it's in the heating process-to maintain temperature).The sound it made was so loud that it would distract me from whatever else I was doing.
3. This product DOES NOT SHUT ITSELF OFF.If you forget about it and leave it plugged in, eventually the water will evaporate and the element will be left hot.There is a danger of shorting the unit and/or starting a fire.The only way to turn it off is to unplug it.
This loud clicking noise annoyed me so much I only used the product three times.Even if it didn't make sound I wouldn't use it-- this hotpot never boiled water and without a safety-off it's a hazard.
