Product Reviews

Great kettle
This kettle is a great addition to my kitchen. It has a nice shiny polished appearance and performs well. It automatically shuts off after it begins boiling. I couldn't find this item in any stores in my local area. I am glad I searched around for this item online, instead of settling for something cheaper that was made of plastic.

Terrible water kettle
I owned this tea kettle for about 4 months. Here are some problems with the design:
1) Uses a plastic filter mesh just before the spout (inside the kettle). The filter mesh is removable; but the guides to hold the mesh is also plastic. So, definitely some plastic will leach into the hot water.

2) The tea kettle started to leak after about 3 months; after the water boils and you pour out a mug full - you leave the rest of the hot water in the kettle. It starts to leak from the bottom.

I do NOT recommend this tea kettle based on the leakiness alone.

Cuisinart KUA-17 1-3/4-Quart Cordless Automatic Electric Kettle
This looks great in a traditionally designed kitchen, heats water up rapidly, and is a excellent in every way. The only problem we've had is that the klutzes I live with each put the first two I bought on the stove and turned on the burner, forgetting it is supposed to go on the electric base only. They melted the plastic bottoms of the teakettles and there is no way to buy just the kettle itself as a replacement part, so I had to buy a whole new kettle each time. What I've done now is placed it on a counter not near the stove to prevent such accidents as I love the product. Anyone need an extra base?
