I bought one of these only because the one I have is 1970s advocato green and has seen better days, but it sure gave me years of service. The Sunbeam, which worked fine while it lived, melted inside (possible fire hazzard) about 2 months ago after 10 months of use. The old green guy’s back on the counter making hot water for my tea every day.
I’ll try another and see how long it lasts. Not impressesd. PLUS, the PRICE has GONE UP by $4 (25%!!!) since I bought it in December 2003!!

This is a great machine for college students. They can make instant soup, coffee, tea or hot chosolate. I actually had one when I was in college and was surprised that it is still being made. I purchased 3 for my kids.

This is an excellent product for warming one or two cups of water. We use this Hot Shot several times a day.

This could have been done better:
I’m not supposed to plug it in unless it has water in it ready to be heated. When I plugged it in the first time, sure enough the light came on and so if I didn’t have water in it, it would have been “bad”.
I bought it for my office so I can pout a cup of water in it, heat it, and make tea.
Well, when I took it to my office and plugged it in, it came on automatically again. So the manual warining you not to plug it in without having water in it seems valid.
I’m afraid to leave it plugged-in after it’s off (what if power gets interrupted and it turns itself back on and burn the place down?).
So instead of simply putting water in, getting hot water out. I have to plug it in, put water, start it, get water out unplug it.
Why, why couldn’t they put a hard switch on it (so it won’t turn on unless you want it to). I bought it to make life simpler, not to wake up in the middle of the night worrying if I unplugged it and if my workplace has burned down…
I wouldn’t buy it again.
