@@dinoscreech7698LOL the micom is actually manufactured in China but designed in Japan. If you get their white older version it’s actually made in Japan and has a slightly better build quality. I needed one for my office and got this one and so far so good.
I just picked up a hybrid CV-DCC50 at a thrift store yesterday for $4.99! Seems to work perfectly but now I’m wondering why people are getting rid of them 🤣
This is so great! Saw this on Best Buy for my mom who has arthritis in her hands and has trouble picking up her electric kettle and this video and your review were great! Thanks for being so informative and concise and keep doing what you do!
That would be perfect for me! I always do pour overs for my morning coffee and that would eliminate a lot of hassle. You have to keep the water at boiling and then disburse it slowly in three stages. Aaaanyway...it would abbreviate the process a lot. Not to mention all the other uses that you demonstrated! Thank you! 🤗
Thanks for this video. I was wondering why it took so long to boil the water. I can see why as this is meant to make sure the water is constantly hot over a period of time. Now I understand the times to temp in the instruction booklet.
Interesting that they made a Fahrenheit version for the US market. I think that even in the US the 100C boiling point of water is more widely known than 212F.
I'm curious why you would refill the water every day. There should be no need to do so. Is this required or recommended? I would expect the water can remain indefinitely assuming you fill it clean.
This really helped me understand how to use it! Just landed in Japan and all of the buttons are in Japanese… Would like to as though. Does it constantly boil the water that is left inside? Seems like a bit of a waste. Is there a way to prevent this?
I cannot figure out how to take the sound out? The music that it plays wakes everyone up in the morning. The mannual is so ahrs to understand and I can’t digure out how to turn the sound off
According to the manual, you first hold the unlock button down for 3 seconds, and the kettle will emit 3 long beeps, which puts it in a mode where it just beeps, instead of playing music. To put it in silent mode, you hold the unlock button down for 3 more seconds, the kettle will emit 1 long beep, and that will put it in silent mode. I hope this helps!
Nonstick coatings are perfectly safe in this application. I’ve looked into this for hours when I was considering replacing all my nonstick with ceramic for health. The only way nonstick is dangerous is if you heat an empty pan to ripping hot - it will start smoking and the smoke is toxic. With anything in the pan it will not reach those temperatures.
Do you know their lid would probably need to be changed otherwise the plastic lid will become powder and brittle and you will be eating all that plastic into your body??? Owner of one and not sure if I should ditch the whole unit.
Hi, how did you manage to clean the inside of rust? If any. But I read many reviews about this product and rust was an issue. Is it constantly utilizing electricity to maintain the temperature once reached to preset settings? This brand is typically made in Japan but is your model from China? The one I am waiting on is not Japan made.
Well it's much larger than a regular kettle, but my guess is the heating element is only so strong. Once it's done though, it holds the water at the set temp until empty.
if you want fast, buy an electric kettle. the point of the water boiler is to maintain temp, not boil water from cold to hot as quickly as possible. i use both.
I've never had this issue. You'll need to run the cleaning cycle with citric acid to take care of that. Minerals will build up in the kettle over time that will need to be cleaned out. Also, standing water that's not heated can get funky over time, but I just dump it and dry it out as needed. Hope you can get it taken care of!
thank you, very Informative video. that said, why do all water urn make sounds? why do they think autistics don't want to buy one😭? seriously, if any of you know a model that doesn't beep tell me pls
The internal pot that holds the water in these water boilers are coated with something (teflon?), and it will chip off with use (opening and closing the top, repeated washes) and the metal beneath the coating will rust. Terrible design for a water holder to rust when touching water.
@@Sticktothegospel Ya no issues with there rice cookers. I have one from seven years ago, still works flawlessly. But their stuff like breadmakers and kettles are meh.
Zojirushi is one of the very few companies with genuine quality these days.
All my Zojirushi products are awesome. The brand is slowly taking over my kitchen haha.
that's because it's made in glorious Japan, not communist china.

@@nelliebellie3622 because they now have a real water dispenser that's connected to their water pipe. Expensive though.
That was a refreshing review! Straight, to the point, examples galore, cleaning recommendations... I am not left wanting.

I hate that change lol. Would have much preferred it if they’d simply left it in C. Haha
Excellent video, it really helped me out on making my decision and buying it. Keep up the good work my friend.
Thanks, Oscar! I hope you like yours!
That is truly refined.
Great video, well explaing and many details.
PS: i will destroy that if i hear that music again.
Hahaha! Thanks, and thanks for watching!
You can turn it off or replace with 2 or 1 beeps by holding down unlock button for a few seconds several times.
@@whoa9432 That's right. That's a feature I missed demonstrating. I'm glad someone who owns one has watched this. I hope you like yours!
Cool review! 5:47 😅 love that part!
I'm curious why you would refill the water every day. There should be no need to do so. Is this required or recommended? I would expect the water can remain indefinitely assuming you fill it clean.
What kind of material is the inside container(grey container)?
This really helped me understand how to use it!
Just landed in Japan and all of the buttons are in Japanese…
Would like to as though. Does it constantly boil the water that is left inside? Seems like a bit of a waste. Is there a way to prevent this?
It is very insulated. Like a coffee thermos that keeps water hot for a day.
So it will not use much energy keeping water warm.
I would love to get one.

@@elinatsybikov768 glad I could help!
Thanks for the review! It is very helpful, but the nonstick coating is safe for the health? That is only thing I am concerning about this product,
They make a version with a stainless steel interior.

I ditched mine when this happened and now I am trying to decide what to get to replace it.
Have you all decided what to replace it with?
Can the music feature be turned off?
Yes, it sure can! It can be reduced to simple beeps, or silenced altogether. Personally, I like the novelty of the music haha.
Once you bring it temperature, it stay hot indefinitely? That is until you unplug it? Should you drain it every day?
Yes it keeps the water hot until you unplug it, or it's empty. I empty mine every day.
My friend said it uses a lot of electricity have you noticed that as well?
On my end, not at all, but I don't run it 24/7.
How long does it keep the hot water? How many hours? R the electric bills high?
It keeps the water hot until it's empty, so unlimited hours. There was no noticeable difference in my electric bill using it regularly.
@@VacTech1 thank you so much :D
Is it easy to drop the temperature? Like I want near boiling in thr morning for coffee. But can you drop easily later for tea?
Yes. You can adjust the temperature (it has 4 settings), and it will drop down to whatever temperature it's set to, and stay there.
Excellent video! Thanks 😊
A great video!
is container that holds the water, is it stainless steel or plastic?
is the inside make of stainless steel?
The new units don’t have a magnetic plug anymore. I hear it’s a pain to use it with a normal plug. 😣
That’s a shame. I really like that feature.

Hi, I enjoyed your video, sir please, you do know what your doing, explaining how to operate a fine japanese product. Keep recording videos.
Thanks, G O! I appreciate it!
I've seen this under the panasonic name around asia.
So for the rice cookers
Do you have a video show us how to use Citric Acid Cleaner to clean this Zojirushi Water Boiler?
If you follow the instructions on the instruction book that I added in the vid (during the cleaning section), it's a very simple process.
Is there a way to disable the automatic lock dispense feature? It’s troublesome to press unlock then dispense every time for water.
I dont believe so, as it's a safety feature.
Does it need power supply to dispense water?
Does it has a rotating pad at the bottom?
Yes it sure does!
You can get the same design, cheaper and with English legend by buying Panasonic Vip series thermos.
Do you plug it out at night?
Surely this cnt be good. What about the limescale since its staying/keeping the water hot the whole time?
I want one
Can I use white vinegar instead of C Acid? Thanks!!
I would only use the recommended citric acid.
@@VacTech1 Thank you for the prompt response. I will buy this from Amazon then. Cheers.
@@gaovicky1848 I recently cleaned mine with citric acid, and it made it like new!
I agree, citric acid is best!
Mine is 10 years old and looks new.
curious why it takes so long to bring to a boil
Well it's much larger than a regular kettle, but my guess is the heating element is only so strong. Once it's done though, it holds the water at the set temp until empty.
I would guess the heating element in this would be low-power efficient to maintain the temperature indefinitely. That may affect the speed to boil.
if you want fast, buy an electric kettle. the point of the water boiler is to maintain temp, not boil water from cold to hot as quickly as possible. i use both.
If power off, is it work ?
Good question. This one requires electricity to heat the water, and for the pump that pours out the water.
This thing gets stinky inside after 3 months of so. And you can't get rid of the musty smell.
I've never had this issue. You'll need to run the cleaning cycle with citric acid to take care of that. Minerals will build up in the kettle over time that will need to be cleaned out. Also, standing water that's not heated can get funky over time, but I just dump it and dry it out as needed. Hope you can get it taken care of!
0:32 behind the lid is it plastic like this model? ua-cam.com/video/A6Q6SYsnf9s/v-deo.html
No promised maintenance tip for cleaning scales.
You'll just need to run the cleaning cycle with citric acid.
thank you, very Informative video.
that said, why do all water urn make sounds? why do they think autistics don't want to buy one😭?
seriously, if any of you know a model that doesn't beep tell me pls
With this one, the beeps and music can be manually turned off.
Most Japanese appliance sing at you. They generally prefer that to static tones.
Hm

Whats with the annoying music? Ia that from the appliance? 😢
I broke mine, I dropped it
Oh no! Sorry to hear that.
As much as i like Zojirushi's rice cookers, their kettle line is way overpriced. Just buy a standard pump kettle or knockoff for a third the price.
Their rice cookers are fantastic. Worth every penny

It's been 10. Minutes still.not boiled yet.
You video need to explain what to press to start how to keep warm.
Your video is not clear at all
