This is a nice water heater. At first I bought the similar Z-brand VE energy saving unit. Its problems were a AC cord that would constantly fall off and the built-in computer would error-fail every time the unit reached programmed temp; this would require a "reboot" to get it to respond again! The TIGER costs more by a few bucks and holds slightly less water. But it is NICE: The steam rarely flies out of the vents, there is so very little of it to waste heat. The computer is responsive and trouble-free. There is no need to "reboot" the bottle because it reheats only as needed and can discontinue heating to drop a few degrees, to save power. The power savings will add up greatly. I had several "Secura" heaters that were cheap in both price and quality. My Secura units, using distilled water, failed in 1-month, 14 months, and 15 months. The Tiger should outlast those units because the bottom is better insulated. That saves energy and prevents the heat from constantly abusing the electronic control module that sits beneath the water bottle in these water heater/dispensers. One note: the water can be pushed out in two ways: there are a pair of buttons on top, one to enable dispensing, and one to actually dispense; this is fairly standard. Then there is a lockable air-pump control so you can push out water manually if you are disconnected from AC power. Some high priced Z-brand water bottles lack the air pump button, so if you lose power, or take your bottle someplace, you cannot dispense!
