Product Reviews

A practical and safe product to have
Bought this for my daughter who is a college student. My concern was mainly safety issues. This was the lowest priced product in this category. My daughter loves it. It is compact, rather good looking,convenient, and very safe to operate. Furthermore, there is no shipping cost! I am very happy with the purchase.
If you need a beeter looking product, there are more expensive ones available (on amazon.com). For my home use, i have one of those.

Good for the price
PROS: Works well. Heats fast, auto-shutoff feature and visible water level are nice.
CONS: Putting kettle on base requires lining up 3 slots which takes a little extra care and might result in damage to contacts if you're not careful.

The plastic stinks
This brand new kettle - after having been cleaned, descaled with vinegar (at Proctor Silex's suggestion), filled with a solution of water and baking soda (at Proctor-Silex's suggestion) reeks of a chemical, plastic smell, which it imparts to any water boiled in it.

We're returning it immediately. Feh.
