It adjusts at checkout.
The last one I bought lasted only 12 months, but at this price, disposable works.
This is so unnecessarily big.
Sorry, I can't help it
Unfortunately she did not say that.
she never said that.
How hot?
Power consumption to keep this thing at temp would be astronomical no? It's basically an uninsulated overpowered hot water system.
Yes but unlike hot water systems it’s generally not being left in 24/7.
They are either being used for functions/events otherwise they can controlled with a timer.
At 2kW it’s more like an underpowered hot water system.
2kW for 10L…most domestic HWS (250-300L) are about 3.6kW.
No it's not, 300l tank only has 4.8kw elements at best. And 1800w elements are not unheard of. a 3 phase household couldn't even be enough to power your 'properly powered' system.
In the context of electricity usage, it would be large, but in terms of $ it would be like a dollar or two per day
So around $500/year to run. From a bargain perspective it would certainly make sense to spend more on an insulated version and reduce running costs…
No chance, do you have number to back up your claims? A fully insulated hot water system easily lose 50c a day on heat loss, and it only goes up to 60-70 degrees. Higher temp and piss poor insulation mean this thing could easily lose >10kwh per day if leave on and not used. I'd say $5 a day to be realistic figure.
I expect the running estimates above would be for using it at morning/afternoon tea, not 24/7.
don't need one right now but ordered one anyway.
Thanks, bought one.
Maybe too large, but buy first. $80 elsewhere, looks to be a genuine bargain.
Isn't it better to get this or get a instant hot water dispenser?
It's not boiling 10L of water in two minutes with 2000W. So if you leave this on all day how much energy would it use. ChatGPT says:
Final Answer: The urn could use around 10.5 kWh over 24 hours.
Cost estimation: If electricity costs 40c/kWh, the urn running for 24 hours would cost about $4.20 per day.That's assuming the whole 10L is kept at boiled temperature but perhaps this urn uses some kind of zoned heating, so it could use even less energy than that.
Urn of shadows.
With the power usage its closer to a Spirit Vessel
Just to point out this is intended for events, catering, limited time use, i.e. running for 2-3 hours max.
If you want to plug it in all day at home, you would want something with better insulation.
Can you use this for keeping tea for events or water only?
Price changed?
Initial cost: lower. Running cost: way higher.
hmm, says $59 now, anyone else seeing that?!
