I'll add this too:
You can get a filter for the dispenser. Pure drinking water and hot water while reducing scale buildup.
I don't have a filter on mine and I have never done any descaling or maintenance on it in 7+ years other than cleaning the faucet like I would any other faucet.
Pro:
Con:
$30 extra a year?
Like would you pay $2.50-$5 monthly subscription for unlimited instant hot/cold filtered water on tap whenever you want it? (above $2.50 would be for cold and filter if you choose those options instead of just hot. Since I assume cold takes more energy and you have to replace filters)
Doesn't make sense for everyone, and you do have to think about the upfront cost. You can get a tank for ~150, then the faucet can be ~50 to whatever you want to pay.
So maybe if your Zojirushi ever breaks. I enjoy my Zojirushi bread maker a ton.
