Water Heater Portable Coffee,Tea Immersion Dual Voltage Auto 110/220 Volt Beverage Heat.

I ordered this heater for my parents who were taking a 6 week trip to Europe. My mum LOVED it! None of the hotels she stayed in had a jug to heat water so she used it almost daily. It lasted her the whole trip for heating water for tea in the morning. It heated water super quick and it's tiny and easy to carry and comes with a neat wee drawstring bag to carry it in. She's still using it at work to heat her water for tea in the office. She highly recommends it. Thanks!

I've owned two of these. The first one I dropped and it stopped working. Ok, my fault. The second I heated 4 cups of water on an international trip (220 Volt) and was very careful with it, especially keeping the heating coil immersed while plugged into the electricity. I went to heat a 5th cup of water and guess what?....no longer working. I bought it especially for the international voltage feature. From my experience, I cannot recommend this product.

Pro: Works on either 110 or 220 volts, without manually switching the heater.
Con: (Minor) 110 volt heating affords only 125 watts of heating power, bringing a large cup of cool water to a simmer in twelve to 14 minutes.

Pro: On 220 volts, other conditions the same as above, simmer is reached in about three minutes due to 500 watts heating power.

Pro: Solid construction, plug is not cheap, wire appeared well-insulated, but not unduly stiff.
Con: No cup cliff, although this is not a grievous error...

My unit quit working mid-tea cup heating, and I was dissatisfied because I thought I had only had it about six months. Amazon showed me that I received it about 25 months ago. Use was generally light, mainly onboard cruise ships, with both 110 and 220 volts used. Owned and used a bit over two years, but probably not over about 150 times, although the unit has likely traveled 50,000 miles and suffered a few light knocks, but no rough handling... Read more
