   Easy install and operation and much more compact than many earlier models. The one downside is that the tank is not insulated and kicks on more frequently than my old unit that this dispenser replaced. The old unit was insulated and a little larger but in most instances that is not an issue under the counter top.

   Installed with a new sink as an upgrade. This unit works great, however it makes some noise when heating the small tank of water. My wife loves the instant "tea water" instead of using the microwave that took two minutes to do the job. Great unit!!!!!

   This is my fourth ISE Hot Water Dispenser. The first three lasted anywhere from 2 - 4 years each, before the tanks started leaking and the units had to be replaced. In addition to the tank problem the first two units had failures with an internal thermal switch. It's about a $15 part that was fairly easy to replace if you are somewhat handy with tools and are not afraid of working with electrical components. On my third unit, the hot water tank was redesigned to include a different type thermal switch that was re-settable, like a circuit breaker. That successfully eliminated the thermal switch problem. It seems that the design of the tank for this appliance is continuously evolving. My first unit had a copper tank, the next two had plastic tanks, which I hated, and now this one has a larger (2/3 gallon) stainless steel tank. Seems like a move in the right direction. Installation was easy. I've set the external thermostat (a nice addition) to 190 degrees and it heats the water to that temperature without any spatter. I've verified the water temperature with a digital thermometer. On the previous units I would get spatter at 180 degrees. Since I've only had this unit for a month, I can't predict if it's going to be more reliable then the previous collection I had, but so far it has performed flawlessly. I would like to add that even with the problems that I have experienced with the ISE hot water dispensers, for me it is a very useful appliance, and one that I do not hesitate replacing when it gets to a point where repair is simply not an option.

   Although this product is exactly what I needed, it wasn't the color noted in the advertisement or what i thought I was ordering. The color indictaed was black and I received red. Aside from it being the wrong color, it's great.

   My husband received a similar bag for Christmas that holds 6 bottles of beer. We are scheduled to attend a formal event where we will need to bring 2 bottles of wine. The black is perfect for the purpose and looks much better than a gawdy paper bag or bottle bag and we don't have to worry about the bottom falling out. The material is sturdy and for cold wines will insulate well.

   I love going to other peoples party's and sharing a few drinks, but never had a good way to carry to bottles of bubbly or other drink of choice before this product. I purchased an Orange one last year, and like it so much I'm giving them as gifts this holiday season. They fit almost any Round or Squire 750ml bottle (Absolute, Sky, Captain, Jose Cuervo, Bushmills). However oddly shaped bottles a bit of a tight fit, like Baileys.

   This is a great handy machine. The output is good and the result is great. I would recommend this to boaters, campers (with generators), or anyone else looking for a good ice maker without all the installation issues of a permanent system.
