Does it come with a power cord?

The one I ordered recently came with power cord.

What is the difference between this model and h-wave sn-ss model?

This model is more economical "Invite" series, and h-wave sn-ss is more expensive "Involve" series. And the faucets are different. I regret I am not much help, but I just spent 10 minutes on Amazon site trying to figure out the difference. The more expensive model reads just like my more economical model: it makes 60 cups of hot water. Not sure what you get for the extra $110.

How much room is needed behind the spout in order to turn the handle a full quarter-turn? Or, put another way, how far does the handle protrude?

You need 2 inches from the center of the hole for the handle to rotate to the rear 1/4 turn. I'd want 2.25 or more inches.

Do you have to turn and hold the handle constantly in order to get hot water or can you turn and let go?

This is a safety feature; user must turn and hold handle for hot water to dispense. An unlimited flow of near boiling water could cause burns quickly.

Free delivery and returns on eligible orders. Buy InSinkErator HC250SN-SS HOT250 Instant Hot/Cold Water Dispenser, Satin Nickel at desertcart UK. Review: The InSinkErator HOT250 has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. The ability to instantly dispense both near-boiling hot water and cold, filter-ready water right from the same faucet is incredibly convenient. Whether I'm preparing tea, warming baby bottles, or quickly rinsing dishes, this system handles it all with ease. One thing to note is that while the system is filter-compatible, the water filter itself was a separate purchase. However, it was easy to install and has worked seamlessly with the dispenser, ensuring great-tasting water every time. The design is sleek and stylish, especially with the satin nickel finish, which blends seamlessly with my kitchen decor. The dual-handle system is intuitive, with the hot water handle featuring a spring-loaded safety mechanism that automatically shuts off the water when released, providing an extra layer of safety. Installation was straightforward, and the 360-degree swivel spout adds to its usability, allowing me to direct the water exactly where I need it. The stainless steel tank is durable and keeps the water at the perfect temperature, with adjustable controls that let me set it between 160°F and 210°F. Overall, this dispenser has exceeded my expectations in both performance and design. It's a must-have for any kitchen that values both functionality and style. Highly recommended! Review: Muy bien

I ordered satin finish but they sent chrome. Water dispenser uses plastic pipes, not copper lines.

This model is far better than previous models where the hot/cold levers pull outward to turn on. In previous models our cold side repeatedly broke (wouldn’t stay on by itself). This updated design not only looks nice, but the water flow is significantly more and is smooth and works so well. We are so happy with ours! PS: it would have taken my supply store 6 weeks to get this but Amazon had it to me in 2 days. Plumber installed. Easy to use. Hot water side has safety shut off.
