    Holy cow, the price of these has shot up in the last 10 years…they're a lot fancier to be sure; and it was a long time ago; but last time I checked, I'm certain that a basic Miniboil was well under $1k.

    This post made me think briefly about getting one for our commercial investment property…briefly indeed…looks like they're getting an urn now! ;)

      haha indeed, the Hydroboil is the latest model. They even have low-light detector to powers down the heater when room lights are off.

    • [Deactivated] on 24/09/2014 - 16:30

      We installed a unit just a few months ago. Basic one was still under $1k. I think it was about $1200 all up with plumbing and electrical work required.

  • photonbuddy on 24/09/2014 - 14:52

    $1500 to save waiting a minute or so for the kettle to boil?

    I swear, some people have more money than sense!

    • chefgoldblum on 24/09/2014 - 15:03

      not that i'd get one because i know from someone who did have one that they constantly need servicing, but a few minutes everyday adds up.

      I imagine this would be for business use which makes it a little pointless for ozbargain.

        Why would you say that? Businesses are concerned about costs too.

          Any business with 30+ staff will know that the average kettle fails every 6-12 months meaning cost and decaffeinated staff (reduced productivity and increased sick leave), every bugga leaves it empty after use which equates to waiting 2-3 min for a boil so over 5 years;

          • Kettle = $67,789
          • Zip Boiler = $2-3k (a few hundred thrown in for servicing)

        All the government offices I ever worked at (50+) had these things installed. Pretty nice, and as the guy below said - it gets people back to their desks faster. Well it would if they weren't government offices, people just stand around the thing chatting away burning tax dollars.

      • [Deactivated] on 24/09/2014 - 21:25

        Please take no offence, but for me - I instantly thought of replacing the ageing one we have at work with two new units.

        Needless to say, we have a large number of staff - has increased over the years so many are waiting longer than they should
        for others in line instead of sitting down with their coffee/tea and enjoying their well earned coffee/lunch breaks.

        Unless of course anyone has a better solution/suggestion… installation costs don't help convince powers that be of the need :oS

        (easy for them with fancy dancy' coffee machines in front office… buggers!)

        Regards to all.

      For home use I could see the appeal for a large family possibly if you have a whole lot of people wanting hot water at once.

      They do seem better suited for the office but. Gets people back to their desk in a minute as opposed to them standing there waiting and then getting caught in a 20 minute conversation in the kitchen. It's also one less thing to clean/deal with in the often small kitchen tops offices have.

      • samfisher5986 on 24/09/2014 - 15:23

        Or you could just buy a 3L kettle so the whole family can have some..

        Even a 1.8L Kettle should be enough for the family.

        • Smigit on 24/09/2014 - 16:09

          Yeah certainly. Still, the more people you have to use it the more worthwhile it may be. I wouldn't buy one myself by any stretch of the imagination.

      • douglasb on 24/09/2014 - 15:42

        My pretty much universal experience of these is that they crap themselves all the time, and everyone's wandering the halls looking for alternate sources of hot water while someone gets pen and paper to make an "out of order" sign.

        I've never really understood how Zip managed to get a monopoly on this market. It's certainly one that could use a shake-up with some decent competition.

        (edit: typo)

        • [Deactivated] on 24/09/2014 - 21:29

          (sorry deal poster) … there is another contender in the same market called 'Billi'.

          Not sure how one compares to the other, but I believe each supply the more heavy duty hot/cold
          water supply units.

    • diddy50 on 24/09/2014 - 17:48

      We use them at all the tea stations at work. Instant chilled and (almost) boiling water. I turn it to 4 degrees and 95 degrees. Great units. Ongoing cost of filters don't forget.

    or you could have 200 of these :P http://www.target.com.au/p/essentials-kettle-tarik3/54999954

    (or one kettle and $1,492.50 spending money…)

  • SmiTTy on 24/09/2014 - 15:37

    We use these at work, and i have to admit they are great.
    I even looked into getting this for home …. but then saw the price. even at 20% off - its a bit hard to see the value for little residential home (for me anyway)

    • rodericb on 24/09/2014 - 16:08

      The one which has the two taps for boiling/sparkling chilled and hot/cold would be handy. Yeah the instant boil and instant fizzy is good but so would the reduced waiting time and wasted water for hot water.

      But for six thousand dollars I will stick with what I have now!

    • [Deactivated] on 24/09/2014 - 16:32

      They would cost a bit to keep running at home as well. They do use a bit of power to keep hot all the time. OK when you have lots of staff around a workplace, not so good for a single coffee/tea drinker at home.

  • SmiTTy on 24/09/2014 - 15:40

    Thanks for the post OP … may i suggest - and I don't know what you're responsible for - that you release a model more suited for residential homes. Lower cost, but also without all the bells and whistles (albeit i dont know what bells and whistles this comes with) . Its a good commercial product - you just need a good residential product

      Asian kitchen appliances are great. The 'Tiger' brand is well known for rice cookers and always-on hot water urns, good quality, but with a price tag to match. Midea is another brand that might be worth a look. Urns like this and this might suit your needs. You can usually find them in the larger asian supermarkets or appliance stores in Chinatown. In Sydney, for example, there's a store in the arcade off George St between the Commonwealth Bank and Bank of China that sells a range of these. The "Thai Kee" IGA supermarket in market city has a smaller range.

  • Elppa8 on 24/09/2014 - 19:11

    Or you could get one of these for under $700.

    As for costs they are around the same as a kettle. Ours boils for 10 seconds every about every 10 minutes or about 25 minutes a day. When you calculate how many minutes a kettle gets boiled for and many get boiled twice as a lot of people go off for several minutes whilst the kettle boils, come back and then reboil, then it works out much the same.

    When I want a cup of tea, I just go make it without waiting and the TV doesn't get turned up because of the noisy boiling kettle.

    • [Deactivated] on 24/09/2014 - 21:34

      Is there a 'box' type heater unit - not sure this info is included in the link.
      I'm wondering if this may be suitable at a workplace with a large number of staff…
      A very tidy looking unit at 1st glance, thanks for adding.

  • Elppa8 on 24/09/2014 - 22:17

    Yes, but it is only 2.5 litres. Probably more suited to residential applications
