My first hot water dispenser lasted about 10 years. The new ones good about
4 years - I'm on my 5th one. They used to use stainless steel tanks but they
got cheap and my previous tank leaks. That fuse is a know defect you could
adjust for a lower temp and save the fuse.
There is an overflow reservoir and last time I checked its full of crud -
drinking that mud with your tea or coffee. Perhaps its good it only laste
about 4 years before it gets too dirty.
