CV-JAC50XB 5 Litres VE Hybrid Water Boiler and Warmer
Product details
Web ID: 14728923Great purchase
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.

Lovely water boiler!
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.

Efficient boiler that also acts as thermos warming
Boils water efficiently. Vacuum setting keeps water warm.

Great product!
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.

Very pleased with this purchase
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!

Best Appliance You Didn't Know You needed
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!

Residues from the bottom
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.

Thank you so much for bringing your concerns to our attention. We want you to know that we take the safety of our products very seriously and we are happy to answer any questions you may have. We carefully select and test all of the materials used in our products to ensure that they are completely safe for use with food and beverages. However, we do understand that minerals from the water can accumulate on the surface of the inner liner over time. That's why we recommend descaling the water boiler every 1 to 3 months. The frequency of descaling depends on the mineral content of the water being used. Please keep in mind that the water boiler will not add or produce any residues of its own. Since water naturally contains minerals, they can accumulate over time. If you use a charcoal filter to filter your water, some charcoal specks may also be present in the water. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at any time. Our customer service team is always here to help you out.
