Amazon.com Review
Perfect for the office, RV, dorm room, or kitchen, this compact machine heats 16 ounces of water to the boiling point in less than two minutes. Anyone in a perpetual hurry or who hates to clean pots and pans will love this device. Tea, hot chocolate, instant coffee, instant noodles, soups, oatmeal, and mashed potatoes—simply place the bowl or cup under the water spout and presto! Stir and slurp. --Ann Bieri

5 out of 5 stars my parents have used one daily for 20 years   June 22, 2008
N. Ferguson (Ohio)
My parents have used one of these since the 1980s. I think they have replaced it twice. They would not be without one!

I feel a little uncomfortable about keeping the heating element constantly plugged in. But this is a very useful and handy item!



5 out of 5 stars Excellent Product!   March 24, 2008

I purchased this for my Grandma. She has Maculuar Degeneration and is technically legally blind. She loves having her tea though and is very independent! That's why this is perfect! She knows where the buttons are and with her pre-measured cup we never have to worry about her burning herself. Great product! Also, I purchased one for my classroom at school. It is prefect for when I want a cup of tea during the day. It comes in handy when I need hot water for something in my classroom too! FYI - A friend found out that you NEVER put milk in here!! It scorches and burns the inside! Smells bad too!! Other than that...AWESOME!


3 out of 5 stars It does what it claims, but...   March 22, 2008
J. Deck (Campbell, Ca. United States)
I purchased one of these in black for use in my shop and one in white as a gift for my mom.

The one that I am using daily has a small defect that may prove to be a quirk of the one I received or a broader defect that you may encounter.

The dispensing valve allows a small amount of water to leak out of the tank. The base of the unit then simply allows the water to run off and onto whatever it is sitting on. I solved this by simply laying a rag over the bottom. The water evaporates from the rag faster than the leak.

The only other issue is that the bottom is not open like it's predecessor. This does not allow for the filling of taller mugs or some soup bowl prepared foods.

All and all, it functions the way in need and is priced reasonable for what you get.



5 out of 5 stars Love the Hot Shot!   March 7, 2008
C. Palmenberg
I bought this hot shot for my Grandmother. Our family (me, my mother and Grandmother) have had these for as long as I remember. They are very durable, even with the terrible hard water our homes have. For a while my Grandmother had one of the plug in tea pots and she scalded her arm reaching over the pot for a cup for her tea water. I think it's impossible to get burned on the Hot Shot. We LOVE it!


4 out of 5 stars Sunbeam Hot Shot   February 29, 2008
Cecilia W. Blackwell (Raleigh, NC)
This product heats water to boiling in about 30 seconds. Wonderful for making hot chocolate, tea, etc. My only complaint is that it tends to drip a little water out if water is left standing in the unit. A previous Hot Shot that I had did not have this problem.
