Hot Water Dispensers - Who's got one and are they any good?

[V_R]

As title really, are they worth it over a regular kettle? We need a new kettle and am thinking it might make more sense to get one of these as we don't need to boil the whole thing every time...

Something like that is what I was looking at.

We had one a while ago. It was kinda cool. I make 90% of hot drinks just for me, so it made sense. It sucked when I wanted to fill a saucepan full of boiling water though. In the end, we just went back to a kettle. I wouldn't want to have both cluttering up the work surface.

Edit - this thread is a bit older than I thought it was.

Its fine, I'm still mulling it over. What you said there is precisely the reason why I'm not convinced myself yet.
