Zojirushi Hybrid Water Boiler & Warmer - Silver - CV-JAC40 VE: 4L Electric Kettle, Adjustable Temperature, BPA-Free

I have previously owned the CV-DCC and CD-WCC (4L variants) and feel like the CV-JAC is an improvement in every way. For the same volume it is slightly wider and shorter which is practical on a countertop with a low overhead, and is great for my small apartment. The water boiling noise has been reduced drastically and is barely noticeable when heating up to 175 F, and does not disturb me at all during video conferencing. And the 930 watt power makes the heating time just slightly shorter. Other things I like: 1. The power cable is a standard power cable like those used for desktop computers, and no longer has a magnetic power connector. Although the magnetic connector is convenient when I need to quickly move the boiler somewhere else, it is also easier to knock off. 2. I may be mistaken on this one, but I believe the temperature selection setting is now saved even when the power is off. The previous models reset the selection to 195 F when powering on. 3. The notes in the little song when the water is ready have been tuned more precisely and the volume has been equalized. 4. The reboil / quick-temp states now share a single LED where blinking means it is in quick-temp. This makes it easier to distinguish from afar compared to 2 solid LEDs where you can't really tell which one is lit up. The only design choice I don't like so much is the small floating red ball inside the water level indicator. It is subjective but I prefer the simpler aesthetic of just a water line.

Bought this water boiler because I wanted to be able to do more than what a kettle could provide. This is amazing and efficient! Worth every penny and then some.

Boils water efficiently. Vacuum setting keeps water warm.

This is an appliance that I didn't think would make as big of an impact on my daily life as it did. Very simple, easy to use, easy to clean, and with a lot of intuitive safety features. Very low power draw which was my biggest initial hesitation.

Replacing our 25 year old machine with this one was bitter sweet. We were gifted a water boiler and a rice cooker as wedding gifts in 1999. We used the boiler multiple times daily. The new one performs even better than the old one did and I appreciate the energy saving features. Great product!

As an avid, all-day tea drinker, I've eyed this off and on for years. I drink green tea in the morning which brews at 175 and black tea in the afternoon. I put the set point at 175 and hit the reboil button when I needed higher temp. Its first heating can be slow, but after that, reheating goes pretty quickly. The capacity of this thing is awesome - pipes froze last week and it was a 2 day wait for the plumber. Luckily I had this filled to capacity when the pipes froze, so we had a hot water reserve that lasted till the pipes were fixed. Could not be more pleased with this purchase and the convenience its added to my daily routines. Highly Recommended!

Is this safe to use? I bought this a month ago and noticed a lot of residues came out at the bottom of the boiler.

Excellent product. Best purchase of 2023. No regrets. Highly recommend

This is a beast of water boiler for home using only. Neat and well design.

Love this item. Had an old Zojirushi water pot that faithfully worked for about 10 years before finally dying. The current top-of-the-line model boils so much faster (<30min), with less steam, less noise, and lower electricity cost. Large capacity also means fewer refills necessary. I do miss the magnetic plugs from before, but in fairness those did get knocked off accidentally a lot. Just all-around a super solid buy for any hot beverage aficionado. Hope to get another decade of use out of this pot.

This boiler is fantastic. I never thought I would use one, but once I started drinking more green teas, I’m very glad I decided to get this. I keep it at 175 degrees mainly for Sencha and Matcha. When I want boiling water for Hojicha and Genmaicha, the 175-degree water reaches boiling in about 20 seconds in my electric kettle. This saves a bunch of time for me, especially between meetings. The timer function is also very convenient. I set it up every night so that it is ready to go with hot water in the morning. The build quality is also very nice. You can tell it was made with pride and with the intention of a very long service life. No corners were cut here. I am very glad I decided to get this boiler. I would honestly recommend it to anyone who wants hot water ready to go at the push of a button.

I replace an electric kettle with this water boiler. Wow. It is so much better. I use this for pour over coffee, tea, broth soups, oatmeal and more. I love the different temperature settings and the options, plus the 4 liter capacity makes it useful all day.

Quality boiler, made in Japan, keep water hot for long time, doesn't waste energy like electric kettle.

An excellent water heater. It quickly heats up and keeps water hot throughout the day

We love it. It's easy to use, and has a good capacity. It doesn't take up that much counter space either.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A superb, efficient and convenient replacement for my kettle. Well worth every penny….

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced my 11 year old Hybrid Zojirushi with the newer version. Love the new shape (lower in height and deeper in depth). Also love that this has the 160 degree option.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know how I survived without this! It maintains the perfect temperature all day. I'm able to have coffee in the mornings, make bottles all day, and have evening tea. All at the perfect temperature. The stainless steel goes well with my current decor and gives it a more modern look. It is super easy to wipe down and clean off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a well designed unit. All the controls are intuitive. Cleaning instructions and frequency are also clear. Water comes to temp pretty fast when using the quick temp (I was expecting it to be slower given a higher volume and lower wattage). We fill the unit in the morning and have instant hot water all day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this about a month ago and finally got to use it. Good bye tea pot hello instant water Boller. So awesome very hot, can't wait for hot chocolate season for lots of chocolate time. This is a must buy ya.
