The Caso Design Hw660 Turbo Hot Water Dispenser is available from Yimbly for £99.99, but shoppers can reduce the price to £90 by using the discount code AUTUMN10 at checkout. The gadget, which comes in black, rapidly heats water to the user's desired temperature, offering time and energy savings with customisable settings for various hot beverages, according to the site.
Features and specifications
Measuring 31.5cm x 25.5cm x 15.5cm and weighing 3.4kg, the dispenser can be moved around if needed. An Argos listing for the same product notes that the large removable water tank holds enough for multiple cups, reducing the need for constant refilling, while an auto-lock feature prevents accidental operation. A drip tray catches splashes to keep worktops tidy, and a free filter is included to prevent limescale buildup and keep drinks tasting fresh, the site says.
Shoppers can choose their temperature from warm to boiling using 'simple touch controls'.
Shopper reviews
There is currently only one review for the Caso Design Hw660 on Yimbly's site, with the shopper writing: "The hot water dispenser was a gift and the recipient was very pleased." However, others have left their thoughts on Argos's site.
One person said: "Fantastic, bought it to replace a kettle and it's the best decision we've made. Works perfectly with plenty of options for heat settings and the amount of water, and even a baby bottle setting. Looks fantastic and hopefully will last a long, long time."
Another shopper wrote: "I bought this water heater a couple of weeks ago and I'm really impressed with it, it's so much easier than boiling a kettle when you only want one cup." Others left some feedback, however, such as this person who wrote: "Fab water dispenser, wish I'd bought the bigger model now."
Another added: "This is a lovely machine, fits nicely in my kitchen. The only fault is the water is not hot enough for hot drinks, even at 100°C. I tend to boil it twice as, when milk is added, it cools the drinks down. You can't leave it for more than five minutes, otherwise you have a lukewarm drink."
Alternatives available
As an alternative, Dunelm has a Digital Instant Hot Water Dispenser for £65. Designed to boil water instantly, the site says it delivers hot water on demand for tea, coffee, and cooking, and it features digital controls for 'precise dispensing'.
At QVC, there's a Tefal Instant Hot Water Dispenser for £69.96, down from £99.96. With adjustable temperatures, precise volume control and four cup height settings, it's ideal for everything from teas to coffees, and it has a 'compact design', the listing says.
