| With 1100 watts of power, this electric kettle boils up to 55 ounces of water quickly and easily, producing hot water for tea, hot chocolate, and instant soup in half the time of a microwave oven. Its cordless design allows for lifting the kettle off its base for enhanced mobility or serving guests at the table. The unit's durable nickel-plated heating element resists staining, while its removable, washable, mesh water filter reduces lime scale in beverages. The hot-water kettle also features a hinged lid for convenient cleaning and filling, and a water-level window for an accurate water fill. A power indicator light and an automatic shut-off switch with boil-dry protection ensure added safety. Other highlights include a generous handle, a drip-free spout for graceful pouring, and cord storage to help keep countertops tidy. The cordless jug kettle measures 8-2/3 by 6-2/3 by 9-2/5 inches and carries a one-year warranty. |

 A Perfect Little Pot |
| Review Date: August 4, 2008 |

| This little pot boils a large amount (2 litres) of water in just a couple of minutes. The cordless base makes it so much safer and easier to pour when it's ready, the twist open lid helps you to avoid dumping the whole pot on yourself and I like the auto shut off so there is no chance of boiling it dry or starting a fire. The only small criticism I have is that the twist open lid seems a bit cheezy - like it might not last as long as the rest of the pot does. I will update my review if that turns out to be the case. Also, you should be aware that the heating element is exposed in the bottom of the pot so don't get this one if you expect to boil anything other than water as you will coat the element with it. Otherwise this pot is exactly what I wanted/expected. |
Perfect performance!

This was exactly what I was looking for. I'm not too fond of "no-name" appliances, but was willing to give it a go since the other reviews were much better than comparable name brand products which were significantly higher priced.
Works perfectly as described.
The large lid, though a little cheesy as others have said, makes filling very easy. Yeah, the element is exposed, so we'll all use our brains and not stick our hands in the pot (duh). This pot specifically says the coil is nickel, and not aluminum. I don't like to mess with aluminum cooking utensils, and am pleased.
The water-level window on the side is LARGE and easy to see. You can even watch the water boil.
The measure marks leave somewhat to be desired. They mark ".5 quarts, 1 quart, 1.5 quarts, 2 quarts." I would have preferred it mark off 2, 4, 6, and 8 cups instead. The marks are oval, so they don't really show exactly where "1.5 quarts" is. Also the max. and min. marks are sorta vague too. None of this is really a problem, but just a slight annoyance while I'm getting used to it.
The on/off switch is big and simple to use, the "on" light is big and easy to see, the handle is comfortable and easy to grip, the spout doesn't dribble, the pot slips easily onto its base, the auto cut-off turns it off almost immediately after the water reaches a full boil, the safety switch doesn't allow the pot to be turned on when the pot is dry (unlike our old Sunbeam), and value of being cordless cannot be overstated.
I followed the instructions to "season" the pot before using it (run a full pot of fresh water four times before the first use). The first run smelled strongly of plastic, but subsequent pots were odorless, and there is no lingering plastic smell or taste.
Five stars. What more can I say?

| I was looking for some of the features found in the more expensive models, detachable base, large capacity, the only negative point on this model is the exposed coil. It heats rather quickly, has a clear gauged indicator so you know how much water is left. For the price it is the best you will find |
Stopped using my teapot - This thing rocks!

| We use this product every day. Performs as expected and is fast. Too early to tell how long it will continue to perform. For now, we are very pleased. |
Hot water when you want it! High quality for a cheap price

This is the first electric kettle I've ever owned, and I'm completely happy with it. After looking at a whole bunch of other brands and models online, both on Amazon and other sites, I decided to go with this one because of the price and the great reviews other customers gave it. I've been using it every day for the past three weeks and this thing has been incredible. I have hot water in the morning for my tea almost instantly -- all I do is toss some water in there, flip the switch, and it's done in about two minutes. Granted, I don't heat a ton of water in the morning (I fill it to the Min line), but this is still faster than any stovetop kettle I've ever used.
The auto-off switch is phenomenal. I can flip the kettle on and go about fixing breakfast or grabbing the paper, knowing that I'm not going to start a fire in the corner of my kitchen if I forget about it or have to race over to the stove to stop some ear-piercing whistle scream at me first thing in the morning.
I use this all the time to help heat up water for cooking as well -- pasta, potatoes, veggies, whatever -- I heat up as much water in the kettle as I can (the rest in the pot on the stove) and just pour it in the pot once it's boiled. Tremendously faster than throwing a whole pot of water on the stove on its own.
The only drawback I've noticed so far is the latch you need to turn to open the top. It has a very low profile and isn't raised very much from the rest of the top of the lid. This makes it sort of difficult to get your fingers in there to turn it to open the lid, but I guess that's the point so you don't accidentally open it while it's full of hot water.
Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this kettle and would definitely recommend it to anyone who's in the market for one. |
