Reply to comment by TheGreenShepherd in Zojirushi rice cooker. Cooking rice to perfection 15 years and counting. by Spudcommando

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.

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.
