Like it or not, we seem to be spending more time today on the go. Constantly hurrying from place to place and on a constant mission to find new ways to save a minute here or there. Technology has taken it upon itself to help use meet this need for speed by producing more and more products designed for our “instant” society. On the weekend it might be nice to kick back and have a leisurely cup of tea, but for most people, being able to brew up something in an instant is a great convenience on a day to day basis.
This Sunbeam Hot Shot hot water dispenser receives great reviews and is extremely handy for heating up water quickly. If you enjoy items that fall into the “instant” category like oatmeal, cups of noodles, coffee, and the like, this product was designed for for you.

Reviewer: MovieLUVR,
I had originally purchased a cordless electric kettle for heating water. While it did work, it required a minimum amount of water which was more than I ever needed and took a few minutes to heat. This is SO much more convenient! I can premeasure just the amount of water I need before I add to the dispenser and it literally heats it to boiling in mere seconds!! This is so handy for any "instant" food...oatmeal, cup of noodles, mashed potatoes, and hot cocoa to name a few. This is definately one of the best and most used appliances I own. I highly recommend it!!
Easy to use and fast

This product has been around for over a decade, and for good reason: it works, and works well. My mother bought me one in Fall 1993 when I went off to college and lived in a tiny dorm room. It has served me well ever since. Nearly 12 years later, it still works as well as the day I got it. It really does heat 16 ounces of water to boiling in under 2 minutes. It's insulated so the outside does not get hot. Just remember to only heat water inside of it, not other liquids. It has a nice, clean look and a modern design which I'd even call "cute". The cord stores underneath the base when not in use, for a clutter-free appearance. I'd recommend it to everyone for a wide variety of situations.
Fantastic Product

Absolutely love this product! I made the purchased two weeks ago - with the intention of using it to make hot water for tea in the office. For the simple purpose of heating water VERY quickly, you can't really get a better deal. A couple things to note: 1. It can NOT warm up soups, etc. 2. All hot water must be drained after every use 3. You can not adjustable temperature (Boiling water only). That's fine w/ me ... since I can definitely wait a minute or two to cool down before putting my sencha tea in my cup : )

I have owned the Hotshot since it's inception in the late 80's I believe...still the original one too! Well, the poor gal finally had a malfunction. Mind you, not the heater core which still boiled water as quick as the day I got it! Turns out the button to heat water had enough and the only way it would stay on was to stand there and hold it down until the water boiled. Now you might think that's no big deal, but once you have become accustomed to hitting that button and walking away for a few seconds, you are spoiled. I rationalized that for the money I had purchsed it for and the years I had it, I had certainly gotten my money's worth and it was time to replace it! Looked in Wal-Mart, Target, Sears and could not find one. Looked on Amamazon and lo and behold it was there! My big decision now was white or black! I checked it out and loved the sleeker look, the placement of the heater button, now on top and the height for a taller cup to go under, the depth, which allows a larger mouth mug underneath without interferring with the dispense button.
