Tools and Hardware Reviews of NORPRO 559 Immersion Heater for Warming Liquids
Customer Review: Reliable
Summary: 4 Stars
Product performs as expected. the one bit of advice to anyone purchasing this item is READ and pay heed to the INSTRUCTIONS! I went through 2 before I realized the reason they didn't last long was that I was letting the liquid go past the point of damaging the heater. in other words don't walk off while it's immursed for it takes one time and one time only to damage it. It takes about 5 minutes to heat water to 180 to 190 degrees perfect for tea. if you do this it will last a long time.Customer Review: Simple and well-performing product - BUT READ DIRECTIONS!
Summary: 5 Stars
The name of the product is pretty self explanatory.
Its PORTABLE.
Its IMMERSIBLE.
And it HEATS.
So why would anyone not think this works well?
You can't heat soup, or lasagna, or hot chocolate or even coffee or tea if you follow the directions to the letter. You can heat WATER. PERIOD.
Anything else and you're likely going to be disappointed that the unit dies a premature death.
That immersible thing is tricky too, because the cord is short.
You can't plug it in before you immerse it.
You can't remove it while it is still plugged in.
You can't let it boil off the water leaving it above water level (meaning you CANNOT leave this unattended).
Follow these three simple rules, and I think you'll be more than pleased with yours.
One that I had lasted over a year...until-distracted-I forgot about it.
Came back to find a half full cup of water and a dead heater.
My bad.
Learn from my mistakes.
Enjoy hot beverages anywhere on the go!
AND FOR ANYONE WONDERING...
ACEHARDWAREOUTLET folks are GREAT.
Fast shipping, quick email responses, good customer service.
Customer Review: Simple to use
Summary: 4 Stars
Not too much to go wrong here. Brings my teapot (2-3C volume) of water to a boil in 4-5 minutes. The clips molded into the top of the unit could be a bit bigger, but this is not a big deal.Customer Review: They're good to go! 5-star rating is deserved!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought two and they have both lasted as long as all of my previous immersion beverage heaters have. Amazon's Super Saver discount plus their competitive pricing is a fair five-star deal! (I've been told that they're called 'stingers' in prison)Customer Review: This heater is just waiting for you to screw up.
Summary: 1 Stars
I had this heater for maybe 3 days when it shorted out. I read the instructions and did not plug it in until it was submerged. I read reviews stating how you had to have it in a liquid or it would short out. Maybe someone should have said it needed to be COMPLETELY submerged, almost all the way to the handle. In my opinion it's not worth a penny.
