Product Reviews

Meets all my expectations (so far)
I had doubts about this kettle simply because I had no idea about this brand. Yet something attracted me in the first place and that's the capacity of this kettle: I had been looking for quite a big electric kettle for a while, but all I coukd find in real stores around were small kettles offered by famous brands like Braun.

I grew up in Europe and tea is my daily ritual. So I thought this kettle would be big enough for me since I hate to fill up a kettle with water after 1-2 cups. It is particularly convenient when you are having guests. All standart features: automatic shut-off, detachable base.

So far it's been doing a great job since I bought it in November.

Great Electric Kettle
Having drunk a lot of tea in Europe, I decided on getting an electric kettle while here in the U.S. I just received this Proctor Silex 1.7L kettle. I was a little skeptical because it is competing with the likes of Braun and T-Fal. But, I was pleasantly surprised by its performance. It will boil 1.7L of water in about 8 minutes. I thought that was a little long, but I attribute it to the 110 volt system here versus the 220 volt system in Europe. Nevertheless, this kettle works great. The handle is ergonomic, the opening is big enough to clean and or remove the heating element, and it does boil water. I have only had it for a day, so I am not sure about durability. Nevertheless, it's a great electric kettle; a must for any serious tea drinkers!!!

Nice kettle
It's a nice product: light, quite good looking (if you're not into the chrome thing) nad efficinet. I had no problems with it so far. The only improvement to wish for is that it turns off when there's not enough water in it to cover the heating element - it turns off in a couple of minutes. Oh well, it's cheap enough.
