Tools and Hardware Reviews of NORPRO 559 Immersion Heater for Warming Liquids
Customer Review: Coffee heater
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had a heater similar to this for years and when it finally failed (due to my negligence) I went a while without one while looking for another. When I bought this one (NORPRO 559) and tried it (actually I bought two) I was pleased with its construction and operation.Customer Review: Comforts of home
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this immersion heater to take with me into the hospital. I was having radioactive iodine treatment for thyroid cancer. I knew I'd be able-bodied, but bored, under orders to drink lots of fluids, and seeing very little of the nurses, as they do these treatments in special isolation rooms. It was such a good thing to be able to have a cup of hot herbal tea, or some cocoa, whenever I wanted, just as I would at home. The immersion heater worked perfectly. The key is to remember that you must never plug the heater in until the coil is immersed in your cup, and never remove the coil from your cup until you unplug it. The heater boils water so fast, you really do need to watch it- a watched pot may never boil, but a forgotten immersion heater would boil your cup dry very quickly. I had to put my heater away in a box with the books I read in the hospital, as they scanned my stuff with a Geiger counter when my treatment was over, and it read "hot". Everything will be safe to use again after a month, and I will be glad to have the heater to use when we travel. My post-treatment scan gave me a clean bill of health, so I will be enjoying this heater for a long time to come!Customer Review: Could be a good product

I used the heater one time and it did boil the water, however it fails to work thereafter. I simply called customer service and they promptly mailed another heater.Customer Review: D Friedeck

Most hotels have coffee pots but for those that don't I bought the immersion heater. I only used it a couple of times and it worked great.Customer Review: Didn't last one use
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very careful to follow the instructions after reading these reviews, but I'm disappointed to say that mine broke almost immediately. It heated my water up to a luke-warm temperature and then spontaneously stopped working. I didn't remove it from the water without unplugging it first or anything like that so I don't see any reason why it should fail so quickly! I was very excited for this product because it seems like it could be so useful- but not if it breaks immediately!
