Just about anything Zojirushi, really. They have an outstanding coffee maker as well.

Their water boiler has changed my life. No more forgetting the kettle or microwave, just tea whenever I want, right next to where I'm working.

It's up there with bidet (seat type, not separate fixture) on best "extra" home appliance purchases, for me.

What sort of electricity usage does that have?

Nothing too significant, no noticeable change in utilities. I was skeptical at first too but I think it's just so well insulated that the initial boiling takes a lot of energy, then maintaining just below boiling is low-energy.

Except maybe their water bottles. I've had a zojirushi bottle for 3 years, and ever since the second year it'll leak sometimes when I tilt it. Apparently you can put the cap on wrong between refills. I've never had that issue with other brands before.

It’s possible to misalign any thread, the secret is to turn it left until it clicks into place and then turn it right to tighten it down. Works with every type of material and every thread spacing/size, I learned this from an old auto mechanic years ago and it hasn’t let me down.

I bought an electric griddle of theirs a few years back and my wife and I have used it almost daily since. Awesome product.
