A friend of mine needs to replace her hot water urn and asked me to help her find a good one for less money, so I did a little urn research. The last time I priced urns was before Pesach, and I'm shocked to say that (unlike all other appliances) urns have actually dropped slightly in price since last year.
Amazon has got some very good deals on hot water urns.
Get this Hamilton Beach 42-cup urn for $35.99 with free shipping. It got 4.2 out of 5 stars over 60 customer reviews. If you routinely entertain large crowds, this is a perfect sized urn for your needs. My Amazon price tracker tells me that the lowest price that has ever been posted for this urn was $35, so you're pretty close to the rock bottom price.
But, if you would rather not have such a large hot water urn in your kitchen, here's a slightly smaller version for about the same price:
Amazon has got this Westbend 30-cup urn for $37.29 with free shipping. It got 4.4 out of 5 stars over 146 customer reviews. This is actually the urn that we have for Pesach. I purposely wanted a smaller capacity urn because we have a small kitchen, the water heats faster, and you can refill an urn on YomTov (not Shabbos though!) as long as there is enough water to start with so that the light doesn't change color, so I wasn't really concerned about needing more hot water for my guests. I also really like the Westbend name.
