Being Polish, we drink A LOT of teas. In my 40 years I’m always searching for something that will keep my water hot and available when I need it. I finally think I’ve found it. My kids love the hello Kitty decorations on the outside to boot! Given that this is a Zojirushi product - it is made with quality of course, which I have a particular appreciation for. So far, everyone that has seen it (family, guests) were uber impressed and thought it was a brilliant idea getting one of these! I certainly think so. Love it!!!!
This is the second water boiler I have purchased and cannot live without it as I drink tea on a consistent basis. This updated water boiler has some pleasant new features my old one didn’t have such as the slow pour function and the memory to go to last temp used when power is reconnected. Plus I love that my rice cooker and water boiler both have a pleasant little song whenever they are ready.
I am collecting a lot of Hello Kitty goods. When I saw this, I immediately decided to buy this. I have a water boiler & warmer from ZOJIRUSHI and I love it. I thought it would be the same but with Hello Kitty pattern. It is not the same. The display is too small and this is slimmer and taller. I am currently decorating this in my kitchen.

We appreciate your feedback. Each water boiler model has a slightly different design and the Hello Kitty one in particular was designed a bit different so it matches the Hello Kitty aesthetic. The functionality and quality will be the same across the board.
Having lived in Japan for five years, I was accustomed to the luxury of having a water boiler in our office. After moving back to the US, I wanted the convenience of having a water boiler for making green tea and miso at work. When I saw this unique collaboration between Hello kitty and Zojirushi, I knew I needed it for my office! It takes approximately an hour for the water to boil and reach the desired temperature (presets include 160F, 175, 195, and 208). There is also a café drip mode to use with my Starbucks origami pour overs. I love the fact that it has a swivel base as well.
Bought this as a Christmas gift for my brother and sister-in-law ( more for her XD, she loves Hello Kitty ), as they were in the market for a electric water boiler/kettle and they love the Zojirushi brand.
