haven't seen in person, but I seem to recall hearing some mention it
here.

Just to make an observation, it doesn't seem to have a temperature
control, which might be a problem, just something to consider.

No, no temp. control and even the "brewing time" adjustment is basic at
best. The water is not nearly hot enough for most teas, never even
approaching boiling. I have heard a few people try them and I even have
a similar model that has been sitting in a cupboard for some time
unused since it is basically useless.

I'd steer clear. Get a decent electric tea kettle and brew your own.
