Best for

Restaurants, cafes, catering operations, and office break rooms that need to produce large quantities of iced tea consistently. Bunn's commercial equipment is built for continuous-duty use that would wear out a home appliance quickly.

Skip if

Skip this entirely if you're brewing iced tea at home. At $813.98 and 39 lb with dimensions of 22 x 11.6 x 34 inches, it won't fit on a standard kitchen counter and the price is far beyond what any home setup warrants.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

Bunn is one of the most recognized names in commercial beverage equipment, and the 36700.0013 sits firmly in that professional tier. At 39 pounds and measuring 22 x 11.6 x 34 inches, this is a floor or counter unit intended for a commercial installation, not a home countertop.

The $813.98 price reflects commercial build quality, duty cycle, and throughput rather than features you'd evaluate in a home brewer. Bunn commercial tea brewers are typically designed to produce consistent batches over many brewing cycles per day without degrading.

With only 27 reviews at 4.1 stars, the feedback pool is small, typical for commercial equipment that serves a narrow professional buyer segment rather than mainstream consumers. Anyone evaluating this machine should be comparing it against other commercial Bunn units, not consumer iced tea makers.

  • Physical size suits high-volume serving environments
  • 4.1 stars among commercially focused buyers

Cons

  • 39-lb weight requires permanent or semi-permanent installation

  • No capacity, wattage, or filter specs listed

What buyers say

With just 27 reviews, the sample is too small for strong conclusions, but a 4.1-star average among commercial buyers suggests the unit meets professional expectations. Commercial buyers tend to rate on reliability and throughput, not convenience features.
