Great - for a while...
For full disclosure, I must state that we used this pot 24 hours a day/7 days a week. It was rarely unplugged.  For the first two years, this unit was awesome. It provided piping hot water without the need for a "cozy" to keep the unit insulated.  However, after two years, the manual pump function began failing. Each push on the pump only provided an ounce or so. Finally, I ordered a new gasket (the manual says it needs to be replaced once a year) for about $13... and nothing improved.  In taking apart the lid to replace the gasket, I saw there was some plastic that had become very brittle and broken, and a smell of burning plastic... while the electric pump feature is still fine, the manual pump is pretty much dead...
