Product Reviews
With 1500 watts of power and a concealed heating element, this electric kettle quickly boils up to 1-3/4 quarts of water, producing hot water for tea, hot chocolate, instant soup, and more--faster than a stove or microwave and using 50-percent less energy than with an electric stovetop. See at a glance how much water remains and when water's about to boil thanks to the unit's contemporary design that combines brushed stainless steel with heat-resistant glass. The kettle lifts off its 360-degree swivel power base for cordless pouring and can be set back down on the power base in any direction. For added convenience, it provides a comfortable soft-touch handle, a one-handed push-button lid opening for easy filling at the sink, an illuminated on/off switch, a clearly marked water gauge, and an adjustable-length power cord that stores in the base. Safety features include automatic shut-off once water reaches a full boil, dual boil-dry protection, and a cool-touch base and lid-lock. Convenient for left- or right-handed users, the electric kettle measures approximately 8-1/2 by 6 by 10-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
The max capacity is 1.75 litres, NOT 1 3/4 cup as stated
This electric tea kettle boils 1.75 litre of tap water in exactly 8 minutes, then automatically shuts itself off. It is saving us time and cooking fuel, and saves itself from boiling dry and self-destructing. I highly recommend it for those who need a couple pots of boiling water every day. So far(in a month or two), neither the heating plate in the bottom nor the glass pot itself have crusted up with mineral deposits and the water tastes pure and clean.
Godd but can be improved
I bought this kettle to replace a Capresso one, which I liked but it did not last long -- the handle broke off at the top just when garantee expired. I also hoped that this kettle will solve the problem of bad chemical smell apparently coming from the silicon or plastic seal between glass and metal heating element. Alas, this kettle has the same problem as Capresso! I hope smell will disappear as it did eventually in Capresso. Also, I was a bit disappointed that it took 7-8 min. to boil max. water -- longer than Capresso, I thought, but maybe I am forgetting. Another annoying feature -- the package said "fast and quiet," but it was neither. It was quite noisy, much noisier than Capresso. And don't even think to fill this kettle with more water than max -- even that was too much: the boiling water was splashing so violantly, I was afraid it would spill over, but luckily it did not. But the next time I'll use less water than max. With all this said, the kettle did its job, turned off reasonably fast, and pouring was easy -- you don't have to open the lid as in Capresso, and the steam did not come close to my hand. The kettle looks and feels very sturdy if not as elegant as Capresso. So, I hope it will last longer. But the next time I probably will go with a metal kettle, although some of them I saw in stores felt quite heavy even when empty, but at least they probably won't have stinky plastic. So, I would recommend this product, but with caveat, and not to somebody who is concern about plastic and bad smell.
They got some things right
I bought this to replace my Capresso 259.03 H2O Plus Glass Water Kettle, Polished Chrome. I decided to try something new because this one had an idea on how to prevent mineral build up.
Well, while that turned out great, it had 2 problems:
1) IT SMELLS! The water has to pass through a plastic spout and it leaves the poured water with a horrible plastic smell
2) Too complicated for their own good. The lid has a button you push to open it. The capresso you have to (OH NO!!) lift it yourself. The difference: The mechanism for openning the lid on this one broke. I never had a problem with the capresso. And the replacement (I tried another one incase the problems I was having were just a fluke) had a small little filter screen for the water pop out and I couldn't get it back in (I could see this as useful for loose leaf tea).
I really liked no more mineral deposits, but I simply can't live with the smell.
