Product Reviews
Equipped with a powerful 1500-watt heating element, this electric kettle can quickly bring up to 60 ounces of water to a rolling boil--twice as fast as a microwave oven. To use, simply fill the kettle at the sink using the water-level indicator on the side to gauge how much, return the kettle to its power base, plug it in, and flip the illuminated switch to "on". In a matter of minutes, hot water will be ready to use for anything from tea, hot cocoa, or instant coffee to instant soup or noodles. The kettle provides a comfortable handle with a rubberized pad to ensure a secure grip, a locking lid with an opening trigger button, a drip-free pouring spout, and a cordless design for graceful serving. It also includes a stainless-steel floor that keeps water away from the heating element, which means no build-up of mineral deposits. For safety, the unit's Strix controller provides boil-dry protection and automatic cut-off if it accidentally gets switched on without water. Great for in a kitchen, office, or dorm room, the electric kettle measures 8-1/2 by 6 by 10 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
Fast kettle
We've been using this kettle at work just fine. It's very light weight but has a tall receptacle that holds the kettle well so we're not concerned about tip over.
It boils incredibly fast & has a nice comfortable handle & easy to use lid release.
Make sure you follow the initial instructions to boil 3x letting cool each time, before the first use to remove any foul taste.
The element is not "protected" so we'd expect scale to build up, but that's easily cleaned.
Only gripe is that the filter seems to fall out when tipped upside down. Even so, can recommend this kettle as a low cost but perfectly functional kettle.
Not worth it
For about a year now, I have been using a Melitta kettle I got at a department store for $20. It is wonderful and gets used sometimes several times a day. I bought this kettle for my office; I assumed for the same price I could get a kettle of equal value. Instead, this kettle works well barely well enough to keep.
Probably the most disappointing thing is the large exposed coil, which looks very difficult to clean and requires that there be at least 1L in the pot for me to feel safe boiling water. It does shut off correctly after water boils, but it is difficult to see the light that is supposed to indicate that it is on, and the base design makes it somewhat awkward to use.
Low quality but does the job well
For the price I paid for this kettle, I'm very happy with it. When it arrived a piece of the handle had partly fallen off but nothing was broken so I was able to re-glue it back into place and its been fine since then. It resides in our guest room so only gets intermittent use but it has been working perfectly.
