Product Reviews

Kettle leaks. Lid hard to close. Slow boil.
this kettle has been a real dissapointment. i have 3 major complaints with it and the only benefit is that it looks good. i bought it 1/2 a year ago and am now replacing it.
1) it leaks all over my counter.
2) it is slow to boil compared to other electric kettles we've had.
3) it has a weird lid that has to be lined up EXACTLY with the kettle in order to snap close. it is a real nuisance and even when it closes, it unsnaps very easily.

very unhappy
After getting the teakettle in January, I had to stop using it by June. The kettle was leaking water all over the kitchen counter and at time it would not turn off by itself. Delongi sent me a new kettle to replace the one that was broke but it was a model only worth $80.00. When I ask about the $50.00 difference in price of the two teakettles I was told they covered their warranty and I'm out of the $50.00. I won't be buying anymore of Delongi products!

Down with DeLonghi
I have liked my previous DeLonghi purchases. But, I have an older kettle model: KBX1510. It is 2 years old with an obvious design flaw. (My last kettle lasted for over 10 years.) A little (1/4") plastic part, that releases the kettle lid, broke off the plastic control arm .

According to DeLonghi, there is no replacement part and my warranty has expired. So, I must buy a new kettle: DeLonghi, Model DFJ900. After talking to DeLonghi, I have decided not to buy any more DeLonghi products.

Product Reviews


Attractively housed in stainless steel with a plastic lining, this 1500-watt kettle not only looks great in any contemporary kitchen, but it also boils up to 1-2/3 liters of water in a matter of minutes--great for making hot chocolate, instant coffee, tea, oatmeal, instant soups, noodles, baby formula, and more. The unit's concealed heating element helps keep mineral deposits to a minimum, while its anti-scale mesh filter traps lime and calcium particles for better tasting water. A large, easy-to-read scale on the side of the unit displays the brewing temperature in 20, 40, 60, and 80 degrees C (converts to F for 68, 104, 140, and 176 readings). In addition, the unit shuts off either manually or automatically (once the water comes to a full boil), and the sleek kettle rotates on its 360-degree base for easy access from any direction, plus lifts off for graceful, cord-free pouring. Other highlights include an external water-level indicator with a blue light, overheat protection, a non-drip spout, and cord storage. The ETL-listed kettle measures 5-3/4 by 9-1/4 by 10-1/4 inches (on its base) and carries a one-year limited warranty.

A practical and safe product to have
Bought this for my daughter who is a college student. My concern was mainly safety issues. This was the lowest priced product in this category. My daughter loves it. It is compact, rather good looking,convenient, and very safe to operate. Furthermore, there is no shipping cost! I am very happy with the purchase.
If you need a beeter looking product, there are more expensive ones available (on amazon.com). For my home use, i have one of those.

Good for the price
PROS: Works well. Heats fast, auto-shutoff feature and visible water level are nice.
CONS: Putting kettle on base requires lining up 3 slots which takes a little extra care and might result in damage to contacts if you're not careful.

The plastic stinks
This brand new kettle - after having been cleaned, descaled with vinegar (at Proctor Silex's suggestion), filled with a solution of water and baking soda (at Proctor-Silex's suggestion) reeks of a chemical, plastic smell, which it imparts to any water boiled in it.

We're returning it immediately. Feh.

Product Reviews

Finally!
Since the demise of cordless electric kettles made for the US market in places like Belgium, England, etc., we've been getting some pretty awful kettles made in China. The reports in on-line reviews have ranged from terrible smelling plastic with resultant terrible smelling water, to light-weight construction, poor design, and faulty connections (things falling off, kettles breaking down, etc.). For those of us who love our tea, or just wanted to boil hot water more efficiently, this was all terribly unacceptable.

When my old Russell Hobbs "Sovereign" model finally gave up the ghost about six weeks ago I began buying and then returning kettles with alarming frequency, and was becoming increasingly disheartened.

Enter the Renoir Cordless Electric Teakettle made by the Bonjour Company. It arrived today. Clean design, heavy stainless steel (believe me, heavy is a very good thing), minimal plastic but what there is of it is of good quality, a well-designed and well-made washable calcium filter, a beautiful cast steel handle that does NOT get hot when the kettle does, an exterior water gauge and, finally, a kettle that looks like a kettle, not like a jug. And not too many bells and whistles that can end up breaking and that you really don't need.

There is one minor design glitch and one confusing instruction in the accompanying manual: (1) the kettle is slightly difficult to fill from the top; (2) you can fill from the spout although the instructions say not to, but do not explain why.

That's it.

The heavy brushed stainless is divine, and the water boils quietly and fairly rapidly. And this kettle is the only one, stainless or plastic, that did not have a chemical smell right out of the box, one of the main reasons I kept returning previous kettles. I am a public health educator, and what ends up in the water we drink made in products with that awful chemical smell is something we should all think about -- and stay away from.

Since the rise of lots of crappy stuff made in China ("CSMIC"), a problem that is not limited to kettles but crosses product lines with increasing frequency, I had just about given up hope.

This product is made in China, but apparently under strict quality control guidelines and oversight by the company. Congratulations, Bonjour! Let's hope you don't blow the design with future refinements that detract from what works, and works well.

I will report back if problems develop over time but, for the moment, I highly recommend this product.
