Keep-warm time, boiling time and boil-dry protection are not on Yamazen's page, so they come from the Kakaku.com spec table for the exact model EGL-C1281(BB).

🙂 Good points
- Set 50 to 100°C in 1°C steps, plus keep-warm: the only one of the four that lists either
- A narrow spout makes it easy to control the amount of water poured (per the maker)
- The lid was redesigned to come off more easily, and there is a digital display
🙁 Things to note
- Capacity is 0.8 L, and the cord is about 0.7 m, the shortest of the four
- At the listed prices (as of 2026-09-04), it is the most expensive of the four
