Works Incredibly Well -- Worth It for An Annual/Biannual Cleaning
I'd tried vinegar to clean my zojirushi 3 qt device. It didn't work too well.
But this stuff is great!! It only takes about 20 minutes and all that nasty junk on the bottom of the water tank comes off. (I did have to rinse the inside of the device once to get the stuff that had come off the sides, but didn't dissolve enough to go out through the dispenser.)
Make sure you order enough for the size of your dispenser. 3 qts needs 3 packets.

Update 7/16/08 -- I think the quantity of cleaner you need also depends on your water quality. For some people, one envelope will work. I tried one the first time I tried to clean the machine. It worked some, but wasn't enough to finish the job. I need three -- we have extremely hard water. $6 every 6 months is worth the time I'd spend chiselling the interior out.

Work like a charm
I would recommend it to everyone who uses the hot water dispenser. It's very easy to use. Even if you don't see any scald build up, give it a try and you will not believe what is there. You will need one package per one liter size of pot. I only has the stubborn scald at the bottom of the pot so I figure I can put one liter of water just to cover the problem area and only use one package of powder. After the cleansing process is done, the bottom of the pot is cleaned just like the first day I got them. I then spot the ring where the water level was and realized how dirty the rest of the pot actually is. Invisible scald, I would call them. Anyway, I ended up using the rest of cleansing powder for the second cleansing batch. I'm using the pot to boil water for the baby formular. It's important that it's kept clean. This product delivers the result I hope for.

worked like a charm
worked on my zojirushi hot water dispenser like a charm. After about one year of use, my zojirushi electric water dispenser was covered by hard calcified deposits. I tried to scrub it off, but it was so calcified nothing would come off. Then I got these, and I couldn't be happier with how easy and effective this product is, all it took was 15 minutes, and it disolved the deposits without harming my electric pot.
