Discount Zojirushi CD-LCC50 Instant Hot Water Dispensers (5.0 L) - Black

Customer Ratings:

I bought one of these for work. It lives in an office breakroom and gets plenty of use. In this environment, you want the biggest one you can get, or the easiest to refill. 5L is a win. Ease of refill on this unit is so-so if your spigot or whatever can't clear its tall height. It boils, gets to temp, and maintains temp just great. The lid removes for easier fill. Easy to tell how full/empty it is. I like the magnetic power coupling a lot. Has settings for 208, 195, and 175 deg F enough flexibility, although the 175 is a touch hot for green tea. Weakness: the "timer" has only one setting: "off now, and then turn on (to stay) 7 hours from now." This timer is essentially a not-very-funny joke. There is no real time clock, no auto-on, no auto-off. Uses about 50W to keep water hot (the 4L CV-DSC40 is better insulated but more expensive). Has a handle for carrying (even hot & full) and has a built-in turntable underneath. Unit is completely satisfactory and good enough to make me want a better. Also won't go back to traditional kettle.

After reading reviews on several products by Zojirushi as well as other companies, I sought out this particular model as having a particularly large capacity. The viewing window on the side is as simple as it gets for knowing when to fill it up, and it goes from five liters of tap-chilly water to near-boiling in a matter of minutes. The three temperatures are perfect for different applications -208F for black tea, hot chocolate, instant coffee, and filling pots for quick, lazy pasta; 195F for red teas and hardy green teas; and 175F for delicate greens, whites, and most herbals. It's also great for cleaning in the kitchen a bit of nearly boiling water on a paper towel makes stuck on eggs and ground-in floor grime come right up.

Visually, this is a compact, attractive product that can sit right on your counter with your coffee maker and toaster oven. The exterior cleans up easily with a little soap and water, and the cleaning packets that Zojirushi makes get out the built up calcium deposits from hard water simple as pressing a button. Also, unlike many, similar models, this hot water pot has button, rather than pump dispensing, so there are fewer moving parts to break down or catch grease in a kitchen.

My only slight quibble is that the "sleep" mode lasts seven hours, with no ability to program it to be longer or shorter, but it's always nice to wake up to fresh coffee, tea, and oatmeal in the morning.

Bought this when my twins were 3 months old and I wish I bought it earlier! Saved so much time when preparing their bottles etc. Works great, easy to refill and the magnetic plug in the back means that you can unhook it and fill/unfill the container easily.

I have this water dispenser for around 4 years. It simply works.

But I recently measured the energy consumption of it using Kill-A-Watt.

It runs on 830 Watt when it boils water and 87 Watt when it keeps the water warm.

This can be costly if you already reach the so-called Tier-3 electricity usage zone (30%-200% of baseline quantity).

My husband and I bought this water dispenser and we are so happy with it, that we are buying another one. We use ours multiple times a day. If you are a tea drinker or like hot water on hand all the time, THIS IS the hot water dispenser for you. You can hold water temp at 175, 195 or 205, also you can add small amounts of cold water to bring the temperature down for even more fragile green teas. Water boils fairly quickly after filling no complaints from me. We had a 3 L boiler at one time but found we had to fill it to often and much prefer the 5 L model :)
