    REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

            Comments about REI Immersion Heater 120/240:

            Well made but it took over 18 minutes to bring a cup of water to the boil (some steam and bubbles). The problem is that it provides only 125 Watts at 110 Volts. The good news for the global traveler is that it is rated as 500 Watts at 240 Volts so it should boil the same amount of water in about 5 minutes in the rest of the world!

            Comments about REI Immersion Heater 120/240:

            Pay special attention to the directions that inform you to have the unit already immersed into the liquid being heated before you plug it in and unplug it before you remove it from the liquid. If you do not, the unit shorts out quickly. I need to buy a new one before every long trip because at some point toward the end I forget and pull the unit out of the liquid before unplugging and it shorts out. If used correctly, it did a good job of quickly heating small amounts of liquid. Large amounts will take much longer.

            Not suitable at 120V, shorts easily

                  Comments about REI Immersion Heater 120/240:

                  Given that this is designed to work at 120 and 240 V, it is so slow at 120 as to be almost useless. It shorts immediately if one pulls the coil out of water before unplugging it-a mistake easily made. A good design should have prevented this. I would not recommend it for travels in 120 V areas. For countries with 220-240 V I would recommend buying one in Europe and using it with an adapter, if necessary, for travels outside the US. (I have used one made in Germany for about 20 years and it still serves me well after oft very extensive use.)

                      Excellent build quality and performance, with two plug adaptors and carry bag. Used it on European vacation every day to heat water for coffee in hotel rooms. Worked like a champ. Fast, too. Kudos to REI for designing a complete product. Great example of the REI brand.

                          Day one when I bought it and tested it out, the clip that is supposed to support the coil in a cup, broke off very easily and I did not force it. I will be returning this and looking elsewhere for an immersion heater.
