Product Reviews


With 1500 watts of power, this electric kettle boils up to 57-1/2 ounces of water quickly and easily, producing hot water for tea, hot chocolate, instant soup, and more in half the time of a microwave oven. Its cordless design allows for lifting the kettle off its base for enhanced mobility or serving guests at the table. In addition, the 360-degree swivel base ensures comfort for both right- and left-handed users, and its cool-touch bottom won�t mar surfaces. A power "on" indicator light and an automatic shut-off switch with boil-dry protection ensure added safety. The unit also provides a concealed heating element that prevents corrosion and a built-in scale filter to catch mineral deposits for better tasting water. Other highlights include a generous stay-cool handle, a drip-free spout for graceful pouring, and dual water-level windows that show how much water remains in the kettle. With its sleek stainless-steel design, the electric kettle measures approximately 8 by 8 by 11-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.


This is the kette I've been looking for
My mom is 83 and almost blind and I needed a safe pot for her. The other nonelectrical pots last 6 mths before the heat from the stove or the minerals in our water deteriorate them so they leak and rust--- even the stainless ones. This pot comes off the base that plugs in making it easy to fill. You fill it, flip the switch, wait a minute or two and when the light goes out, the water is ready. It is lighter and easier to handle than a regular pot. I wish it came in other colors, but the red is very pretty. My mom and I both highly recommend it.

happy customer
i received this in october as a gift, and i've thoroughly enjoyed using it. this is the second electric kettle i've owned and the first made by black and decker.

unlike previous reviewers, i've had no problem filling the kettle with water. the faucet clears the rim by more than an inch.

yes, the kettle is hot to the touch. but it's stainless steel and filled with boiling water, so i didn't expect it to behave otherwise.

the lid fits firmly. i see that as a smart safety measure rather than a defect.

i haven't experienced any issues with hot steam so far. the placement of the handle is comfortable.

i have left standing water in it for several days at a time. so far, there's been no leaking out the bottom or the sides, but i am staying on the alert for it.

finally, it's really pretty. but that's just a perk.

Beautiful, works well, but not so safe!
I bought one of these yesterday and although it works very well, it is designed poorly. The handle on top is bad for 4 reasons:

1. The lid is difficult to remove.
2. The pot is difficult to fill if you have a larger faucet.
3. If you remove the lid to add water too soon after a boil, the steam burns your hand the whole time you are refilling.
4. When you pour, steam comes out the spout to burn your hand.

If the handle were on the side where all other electric kettle makers put theirs, I'd be a happy customer. Now I have to go return this thing.
