We bought this Tiger Water boiler on December 11, 2010 and after 2 years + , it's still working fine. Because of the constant boiling of water, mineral deposit tends to materialize at the bottom so we have to make a point of cleaning it every 2 months or so. Just be careful when you clean and make sure the top of the unit is removed because you don't want water to get into the electronics portion of the boiler.

With any luck, this unit will last me another 2 years :)

We have been using this water heater for years and buy a new one from time to time as we use one for heating food as well as another for water. The one we use for food has to be replaced from time to time. This time, when new, it smelled of some chemical much stronger and longer than usual. The teflon interior generally smells a little for a while when new; this time it lasted longer and the water tastes strange as a result. I would have returned it but it was past the one month deadline when we started using it and realised the funny smell and taste. Otherwise an excellent product. I will order another one and try it as soon as it arrives to see if the problem was a on-off or not.

I have a similar product that I have used for years. It works well. This item did not close properly so the water continually evaporated. If you were not familiar with this type of product you might think that there was no problem because the cover looked like it was closed well. Also, the water was evaporating but slowly so it was not that obvious that there should be a few inches more water in the hot pot than there was. Very disappointing.

Honest reviews on Tiger PFUG22U Water Heater 2.2 LiTer

I actually bought two of these about a decade ago. It is really easy to use and very convenient. I really no longer use a tea kettle to boil water for my tea, hot chocolate, coffee, or cup noodles any more. The only complaint, if I can even call it that, is that this one doesn't hold a lot of water, so in a fairly large family or with people who consume hot beverages round the clock, it requires diligent refill responsibilities. Even then it takes about 10 to reboil the new water, so the wait time isn't terribly long.

I think Tiger products are on the pricier side because of its durability and simplicity. There is basically ONE GIANT button to operate it. It isn't top heavy so I've never encounter a tip-over situation with it. It also has a safety lock/unlock mechanism. When cleaning the dispenser, the cord detaches therefore it doesn't get in the way. (However, since it swivels sometimes the cord will detach and if it goes unnoticed, your water would obviously cool down.)

With care, this product would last a long time. It is plugged in 24/7 of 365 days a year and refilled 2-3 times daily in my house. Like I've noted, I bought both a decade ago and only now is the rubber gasket starting to deteriorate. I've just sent in a request to Tiger Corp. for a replacement, and it is also the first time attempting contact with the corporation, so I don't know how customer service with the company goes. However, with most Tiger products, I know there is a 1 yr warranty that comes with the purchase (at no addt'l cost).

Just a little tip, as with any water boiler, if you have hard tap water, try not to use that in the boiler as it will start to build up calcium deposits from the water source. 98% of the time, our boilers are filled with drinking water.
