Amazon's instant hot water dispenser that 'saves on energy' slashed by 43% now less than £100 - Manchester Evening News

Waiting for the kettle to boil is one of life's annoying inevitabilities - whether you're cooking or making a cuppa, it's always a slightly boring interlude in your day. However, tech has come a long way since the advent of kettles - and now you can get hot water at the touch of the button.

No, you don't have to spend thousands redesigning your home to include one of those fancy hot water taps - instead, you could just buy the Breville Instant HotCup Hot Water Dispenser, which is reduced from £174.99 down to £99.99 on Amazon right now. With a 1.4L, it's much more high tech than your regular kettle.

It's got seven temperatures to choose from - going up to 100°C - and it only heats the amount of water you need, which could really save you some cash on your energy bills in the long-run. It comes with a Brita filter fully integrated, so you can be sure the water is fresh and clean.

Those with accessibility issues might find a lot to like with this gadget. After all, instead of having to lift up a heavy kettle, all you have to do is pop your mug or saucepan underneath and push a button, immediately dispensing hot water.

And with 16,517 global ratings on Amazon, happy customers have awarded Breville's hot water dispenser an average of 4.7 stars out of 5. "Had my doubts about this and if the water would truly be hot enough for tea. No doubts necessary, it's fantastic, water is truly boiling, really quick to work and looks great on the countertop. Every house should have on," one shopper wrote in their review.

Another spoke to the money-saving properties of investing in this device: "Instructions easy to follow and boils in seconds. I’ve only had this one week but wish I’d bought one sooner as having teenagers in the house filling my whole kettle up just for one cup or for pasta was costing me as the kettle uses more energy than most appliances in the house." A third was simpler in their praise: "I love this I set to the exact amount for my coffee mug no more boiling to much water."

However, some shoppers had some slight critiques to share. "Thought it would boil water quicker," one shopper griped, while another said they "would have liked the largest setting to be bigger, as [it] doesn't fill my large mug".

If you wanted to shop around, Asda has a cheaper option with the Black 1-Cup Hot Water Dispenser, which costs £32. Meanwhile, The Range offers the Hot Water Dispenser for £59.99, and it comes in a variety of colours to choose from.
