Buy Swan 8 Litre (32 cup) Commercial Stainless Steel Catering Urn/Water Boiler at desertcart UK. Review: No more, "Any chance of a brew, luv?" from your builders. - This is a very good tea urn and no assembly was required. It heats very quickly and looks good. and the water delivery is accurate and doesn't spit or splash--we all remember those college tea urns that spat and spluttered, and where you'd jump each time you were hit by the scalding water. This is not like that. The only slight criticism is that I feel the quality of the plastic tap is not as good as the overall urn quality; it has a bit of a flimsy feel when you flick it down into its permanent open position, and I'd like something just a little smoother in its action, and with less of a jolt. But it works fine and is responsive. The urn holds 20 litres so, that's a lot of teas! Perfect for a cafe, for your builders if you're having renovations done (no more, "Any chance of a brew, luv?") and it seems cost-effective, staying warmed on a very low setting once it's been heated. Review: Excellent product - Excellent, did the job perfectly. Easy to use and empty. ## Features - Simmerstat control - Stainless steel construction - Water level indicator - Concealed heating element - Non drip tray ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BN5KNBW | | Best Sellers Rank | 36,088 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 20 in Hot Water Dispensers | | Brand | Swan | | Brand Name | Swan | | Capacity | 8 litres | | Colour | Stainless Steel | | Container Type | Can | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,071 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05060059860265, 05060165270262 | | Included Components | Drip tray | | Item Type Name | Catering Urn | | Item Weight | 2.61 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Swan | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | SWU8L | | Model Number | SWU8L | | Other Special Features of the Product | Concealed Heating, Keep Warm Function | | Package information | Can | | Product Care Instructions | Hand wash, Wipe clean | | Recommended Uses For Product | Professional Catering | | Special feature | Concealed Heating , Keep Warm Function | | UPC | 646635036191 798256079641 083351103880 | | Unit Count | 8000.0 millilitre(s) | | Wattage | 1600 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Swan - **Capacity:** 8 litres - **Colour:** Stainless Steel - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Special feature:** Concealed Heating, Keep Warm Function ## Images ![SWU8L - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51j5DVmLmwL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the convention on measurements? Width x height x depth?** A: Hi. We are sorry but we only have the box dimensions for this item, and they are:Boxed dimensions 490mm x 342mm x 342mmThanks! **Q: can i boil indian tea or milk?** A: You could probably boil Indian tea or milk but I think it would be hard to clean it afterwards. **Q: can i warm chocolate in urns to 40C** A: If you are talking about chocolate drink then yes,but it mightt take a good clean afterwards. Not if you are thinkng of solid chocolate, you could do this ina basin over boiling water. **Q: What is the best way to descale the urn, and how often should it be done? We live in a hard water area. Thanks** A: We have very soft water here in Scotland, so it's not a issue for me. If I was still in the Midlands I would have bought the steel mesh descaler, suggested in the "Also Bought" section. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No more, "Any chance of a brew, luv?" from your builders. *by I***R on 22 September 2018* This is a very good tea urn and no assembly was required.

Easy to use and empty. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Brilliant Piece of Kitchen Design *by M***0 on 3 August 2012* I open our garden to raise money for NGS Charities and therefore offer teas/coffees. In past years I have relied upon the constant boiling of kettles but this Swan 10 Litre Catering Urn has brought new meeaning and efficiency to 'Refreshments Served Here'. It is unlike any water boiler that I have seen in the past because it is designed to blend into even a small kitchen, like mine. When it is required, it sits neatly on the worktop and is very easy to fill, boil and senses when to switch over to simmer stat to prevent wasted electricity. When it is not required it is easy to empty and does not take up an inordinate amount storage space. This is the first Water Boiler that I have ever seen that does not condensate and leave the room and walls running with water, even my kettle used to give me grief when it was constantly being boiled up, not to mention the fact that it never held enough water to accommodate an entire order, and then had to be replaced with a new kettle a couple of weeks later as it was not up to the job. Anyway, back to the Water Boiler; I had read in the literature, before buying, that it had a specially designed lid to prevent kitchens and the like from condentating, but I was sceptical as to whether it really would live up to my expectations - trust me, it does. Whilst I am on about the lid, it has a locking turn to prevent anybody accidently trying to pull it off when it is in use. I had been concerned about the 'tap' because there was some comment in buyer feedback about the older machine with its metal tap (I believe that it the one that is often featured in the promotional photo) as opposed to the newer urn with a black plastic tap. Mine has the newer tap and all of my helpers agreed that the urn has revolutionised our ability to 'do teas and coffees for garden visitors' Indeed if I have a family tea party I will not hesitate to put my urn into service as it happily produces boiled water for hours on end (although please remember to check on it part way through a busy event to ensure it does not want topping up!) Each time I use it I have it switched on for approximately 8 hours. My final comment is that my feedback relates to the SWAN Catering Urn (I purchased the 10 Litre which is perfect) as I do not believe that all manufacturers have the anti-condensate facility and this is essential if you do not want water running down your walls oh, and don't forget to support the National Garden Scheme - Gardens Open for Charity, because you could help us to raise lots of money for very good charities, and who knows, you might see a Swan Urn in action so that you can judge for yourself! ## Frequently Bought Together - Swan SWU8L Catering Urn with Automatic Temperature Control, Drip Tray, 8L, 1600W, Stainless Steel - Oypla Electrical 20L Catering Hot Water Boiler Tea Urn Coffee - We Can Source It Ltd - 500 x Kraft 12oz Ripple Cups - 3 Ply Insulated Paper Cups - Disposable Paper Hot Coffee Tea Drinking Cups --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/54194160-swu8l](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/54194160-swu8l) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
