Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought my unit at an Asian grocery called "99 Ranch", which had a very good price. The unit had notable defects (sometimes stopped boiling far before the boiling point; sometimes got an air bubble and couldn't keep pumping the water out), and it did NOT have a "lock/unlock" safety button although one was depicted in the manual. When it did work, it was very handy. It stopped working entirely after just two weeks -- no heat, no pump, no lights.
I called the phone number printed right on the back on the machine, and the very courteous man on the phone immediately offered to send me a whole new one at their expense, and even pay for the return shipping on this one. The new one arrived promptly, but has already proven to have at least one defect (a loose hinge part).
It seems like you get a lot for your money, but the quality reminds me of General Motors circa 1975. Needs improvement.
UPDATE: Once I fixed the hinge, the new unit worked well for months and I felt satisfied with the product. But the electronics broke again, rendering it permanently dead, after about a year.
