Maybe not the best, but it boils water faster than what you'd get using a kettle on the stove top. It lacks fine control of water temperature that pricier models have. Definitely not a deal killer for me, but there are folks that would rather not bring the water to 212° for certain applications. Me? I'm just happy to get boiling water in fewer than 5 minutes.

This is used almost daily and is exactly what I was looking for!

Love it ! It’s my favorite kitchen gadget now. It has changed my entire tea routine.

Was skeptical about this item but used it was impressed but in three minutes you've got boiling hot water if you put the teabags in the container if that's what you're using it for tea comes out excellent in this house we drink two types of tea, half of my family drinks iced tea, but not hot tea and I drink hot tea but not iced tea so what I do is I'm boil the water in it and it makes a half a gallon of iced tea real quick then I make another pot and then I have hot tea all day long if you just wanna boil water for whatever reason less than five minutes, you've got more than order easy to clean and maintain

I use it to make tea from loose/bulk tea. I also empty tea bags in the strainer. I do no t use tea bags, since the plastic bags can release harmful chemicals when exposed to hot water

So much easier to clean than my old one which still works. The lid is easy to remove and clean. Works fast and looks nice. Keep it next to my K cup coffee pot for easy access. Use it for making tea, instant mash potatoes, ramen noodles, etc. Really is handy for a lot of things.

Love ❤️ my Chefman fast-boil pot easy to use.

Works well. I would not recommend using the cylinder to make tea. I wish I would have kept it strictly water. It’s is insanely hard to clean and the mesh at the spout is awful to try and get to. I still don’t think I’ve gotten it completely clean. It heats up really quickly and otherwise it’s great for heating water.

The boiled water still smells bad after one month of use, and the top black plastic part has the same odor.

Around the base of the upper rim of the kettle it leaks water when you pour.
