Hot water dispensers like this one from Kmart claim to provide boiling water in a matter of seconds, a lot quicker than your average kettle.
Has anyone tried this device?
‘the $79 product takes just three to five seconds to boil two litres of water, a lot less time it takes for its fellow kitchen item.’ but ‘… pumps out roughly 6ml of water per second…’
At 6ml a second output a 250ml cup is about 41 seconds and the full Monty (2L) 5 1/2 minutes.
The ‘placed ad as news’ is inconsistent. It may start delivering more quickly, but getting what you need at 6ml second does not seem so different to a kettle end-to-end.
and include how fast it really is ?

I am most interested in the power consumption required for such fast heating!
Friends of mine have a similar product (a garage sale find) which they swear by: it only produces one cup - ? 250ml - at a time though.Too bad if you want to make a pot of tea…

This looks more interesting (a 500ml model is available) https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/home/bunnings-rivals-kmart-with-its-own-instant-hot-water-dispenser/news-story/27f4a3f290758940e84a33a00eb4c42f
