Limited life expectancy
By Sharon
I moved to the U.S from the U.K 5 years ago and my primary task was to find an electric kettle. I was astonished to see how rare they were and it took a while to track one down.(I was without a computer for a while, so perhaps that was why}. I found a great looking one in this product, but was very dissappointed when it passed away early after 1 1/2 years. I got another one thinking it was just bad luck, but lo and behold. It has just passed from physical life again of the same problem. The connection on the base gives up. First it will work if you spun it round on the base until the light goes on, but then it just has sufficient of that and becomes good for nothing. I won’t be buying a 3rd. I am looking for a dissimilar brand now. For the price, I expected it to last longer than 2 years.

almost perfect
By mickeyduvel
This is an all stainless steel kettle,(I do not like my water being boiled in a plastic container) with the heating factor installed UNDER the bottom of the kettle, so no water has direct contact, which wards off build up. Very nice. Heating is very fast, I like using it.The SS quality is very good (high mirror polish) and retains a gleaming shine, if you wipe it frequently.When new,the kettle smeels strongly like plastic inside, as there is a little plastic share indicating max. fill line, this will vanish after a lot of usage. However, there are a few things: The handle is without doubt awkward, to empty the kettle completely you need to turn it upside down closely completely,which a great deal of people might find difficult to do.The ‘ON’ lever is very effortlessly hit without intention on a busy work surface, and the kettle heats up dry, and repeats over and over until it would in all likelihood burn out.It happened to me, but cought it on time, since then I always unplug it, which is inconvenient. If you forget to put the lid on, it won’t shut off automatically, and will boil dry…(I take place to go back to my desk when using it, since there is no acoustic signal of any kind indicating boiling, this happens frequently, exceptionally when applied by dissimilar people)Also, partial fill lines inside would be nice, as one always has to guess the qty. you fill in. I use bottled water for tea, so I don’t want to pour away much each time. But I get better at guessing.This one is best for the person user if you be grateful for top build quality and classic design and don’t mind a few technical imperfections.

The perfective gift for myself!
By A
As soon as my kettle arrived I had it out of the box and set up for use. The instructions say to boil water in it two to three times before use to be sure it is clean. I did this in the time it took me to compose this review! The kettle is attractive, takes up little counter space and has a cord which winds under the base to stay out of the way. It is very easy to use. I’ll never have to worry with regards to leaving the teapot on the stove too long any more. This kettle shuts off as soon as the water boils. I am very happy with this product!
