Satisfied
Working well, especially in foreign countries with different voltage.

Work as intended
I brought this portable water heater for travel purposes. Can’t really trust the cleanliness of water heaters in the hotels these days so I figure I would bring my own. I have use this item for two trips already and I’m pretty happy with it. It does take a little longer to heat water compare to the large capacity water heater I have at home, but a minute or two difference really does not matter much to me.I wish the capacity is larger, but then I guess it would not be as portable. The 18 oz size really is just big enough for me to make a cup of pour over coffee in the morning, so if my wife wants to make her tea, one of us would have to wait for the second pot of water to boil.I would recommend this water heater if you like the peace of mind knowing that the hot water you drink while on your trip is from a clean pot.

Must have travel item
Perfect travel kettle for tea, cup noodle, miso soup, instant oatmeal/grits etc in hotel rooms that usually only have questionable hygiene coffee machines. Big size and dual voltage. 212° max for boiling as is the standard for full size kettles. Boils quietly and fast, stays hot and shows current temp. Touch and hold button to change boil temp. Remember to keep small rubber spout open (loft up and turn) during boiling. Has silicone handle.
