After trying the hot water bottles that are filled with boiling water where one burns half the time, those that are going in the microwave and do not include the heating time, this new generation is great. On a decent size, it is connected to the mains and after 10 minutes we get a hot water bottle but not burning until 6am. The connection cable is removed in the water bottle before use. My children are thrilled. Only downside, the cord is very short (about 30cm) and connection system is weak (not to be manipulated by children). Very good value The carton arrived in very poor condition, though, thank you for the speed as well as free of delivery
