What Customers Are Saying
The Insinkerator instant hot water dispenser provides quick access to hot water for various kitchen tasks like making tea, coffee, and oatmeal. Customers appreciate the convenience, but report issues with durability and reliability, such as the button sticking, leaks, and a relatively short lifespan of 2-5 years. Some users recommend considering alternative models, especially those with a lever-style faucet, as the lever design seems more reliable.

Would RecommendFit into a tight space and still easy and quick install. Recommend getting a basin wrench or a sink & faucet wrench for tight areas. Easy to understand instructions, everything went together as shown. No leaks, no skinned knuckles. Great for a quick hot cup or clean ups. Very satisfied. Only possible negative is that it makes a rumbling noise as it runs through the reheat cycle. This occurs all thru the day and night. It is not noticeable unless everything else is quiet. Definitely a solid purch...

Long time loyalty to this product
Would Recommend2nd house using this product. 1st one got installed 2005. 2nd and 3rd ones installed 2011. One of the 2011 installs ran continuously and perfectly until now, early 2022. Think 10+ years amazing! So handy! Prefer lever handle to push button. Lever is easier to use while holding a cup, etc,. especially if you're right handed. & lever just plain easier. Once you have one these, you will get so used to it that you won't want to be without one!

Need to rethink the design
Would Not RecommendWe replaced our previous Instant Hot dispenser that we had for 15 years with trouble free performance. The only reason we made the change to this dispenser is we wanted a satin finish instead of chrome. We are having problems with the push button sticking open. We spoke with tech support and they recommended using CLR (calcium lime remover) on our new dispenser. Again, never an issue with the previous model. I’m guessing they know there is an issue with push button design. The button sticking ma...

Faucets are nice but the instahot sucks!
Would Not RecommendInsta hot button sticks so you need to hit it with a fork to get it to turn off. Horrible design!!!!

A Must-Own Kitchen Accessory
Would RecommendI don't know what I'd do without this instant hot water dispenser! I use it for tea, single serve noodles, cleaning, all kinds of things (even removing sticky labels off containers). My whole family has these. The water tastes fine (no different than spigot water), and you can make it as hot as you want (scalding at hottest). My husband is pretty handy with plumbing, so other than trying to fit his 6'2" frame under the sink, it was a relatively easy install. I did get the optional filter for min...

I love it!
Would RecommendI have wanted this for a long time as I drink a LOT of tea and constantly have the kettle boiling. It is maybe not quite as hot as the kettle but I got used to it after a few days and I absolutely love it! Making tea and coffee is as fast a pouring a glass of water! I filled a pot when making pasta and had it boiling in no time. We have also used it for cup a soup. We had a plumber install it as we got a new sink and had to have an electrician install an additional outlet underneath as we also h...

Water tastes funny - but enjoy the convenience
Would Not RecommendWe ordered one and it leaked - we received another one and it isn't leaking. My only negative comment is that the water tastes funny. I thought it would taste better as it was used but it still tastes funny - so I don't use it for as much as I would like - bottom line - I'm not as happy with it as I'd hoped.

Very expensive to run
Would Not RecommendMy electric bill went up significantly, by over $200. last month. It is very costly to run.

Hi Chaya, thanks for sharing your review. The water is heated only when needed by a 750-watt element and maintains the set temperature until the next ...
convenient appliance to have available
Would RecommendLaying under the sink is the hardest part of installation. Connections are easily identified. Instructions are easy to follow. It's ready for use with-in minutes after installation. The price is a bit high but everything is over priced these days. It would be nice if it could be ordered with either a right or left handed handle.

Excellent Product
Would RecommendI love the much improved dispenser button over the old-style lever (which broke).

Easy install and works great
Would RecommendThe unit was very straight forward to install and looks great. I had online reviews regarding the button sticking, so I hit it with WD40 prior to installation. 30 days into using it everyday many times per day I am very happy with it. I replaced a KitchenAid unit that lasted more than 10 years, so I hope this one does the same. One note, this heater unit is a bit louder than the last one.

so far it works great
Would RecommendBut the last one only last 13 months before it died then was told "O sorry it's out warranty.

Performs well right out of the box.
Would RecommendThis is my second hot water dispenser at this house, the last one lasted for 10 years. This is the first push button dispenser we have tried and I hope it holds up to frequent use, on and off. As mentioned by another reviewer the under sink bolt could have been a little longer for ease of installation (hard to hold everything in place). The spout is now made out of plastic so I hope it holds up as well as the metal ones, for the price I would have expected a more durable material.. Overall we lo...

Easy installation
Would RecommendUnit lasted just over a month after purchase. Called Insinkerator and they will replace the tank under the warranty. We like the convenience of having instant hot water for cooking. However, this will be the third unit in 56 months. The first lasted approx. 8 months. The second lasted 47 months and the most recent lasted a month.

very nice unit
Would Not Recommendthis is a replacement for my old HOT-1. I did read reviews on this unit and don't understand the negative ones. Very nice design, pretty easy to install, works very good.

Instant hot, just as advertised
Would RecommendShould be standard equipment in every kitchen. Works wonderfully every time.

Works well except...
Would RecommendHeats well. My only beef is that the faucet is fixed and does not swivel making it a bit impractical as one would like to rest the pot being filled with hot water onto the counter.

This product works well
Would RecommendThe product provides for instant hot water but the spout is large and immovable making full use of sink difficult. It would be better to have a smaller spout with the option to move the spout out of the way when doing dishes.
