Reviews

Great Kettle for boiling water for coffee,tea and cup of noodle. Auto shut off when temp. reached.

Not a practical design - VickyLostInNM - NM, USA
The electric kettle is probably what I use more often in my kitchen. For cooking (often needs a full kettle), for tea (minimal level of water), cleaning, etc. I've bought this one (9 months ago) because I had no other choice in my local Bed Bath and Beyond. From the beginning I never liked the design:
- it is very difficult to visualise the water level as it is "hidden" behind the handle. Also it uses a little ball to show at what level the water is. You need to tilt the kettle to see it as in low levels of water it gets stuck
- the on/off led is almost invisible during daylight
- the lid opens at a closed angle and not at 90o or more, as it would be more practical. Even better if it were removable. We live in a very hard water area, so we ought to use a water filter to fill in the kettle and I can only do that holding both over the sink. Not practical at all.
- it takes too long to boil. Very annoying.

Good points about this kettle:
- it does not leak if overfilled. And I do it a lot. This is the largest size available, even in the UK.
- concealed heating element
- detachable from the base, cordless
- stainless steel
- it works

Next time I visit my mother I'll take this to her as her main use is for making pasta (what means a full kettle) and her water is very good, not hard.

Pity I couldn't bring my kettle from London due to wattage difference. Now Amazon research is my only hope to find a decent one for my needs.

On/Off Switch is plastic and broke in 18 months - jack - Oakton, VA.
Like the other reviewers, I liked the Kettle, and the way it operated to automatically shut off the power when the water was hot. This Kettle had a stainless steel body, but the essential operating parts are brittle plastic. The lid broke in a popped open position - it would not close - after a year, even though we never opened it. We always filled it up through the pouring spout. So we put tape over it, and believe it or not, the tape held it for months. Then after 18 months, the plastic on/off switch broke. There is the smallest little bitty tab on the end of that switch that broke, making the kettle useless. We only used it once a day, so it wasn't like it was getting heavy duty use. Typical made in China engineering. Since it's still in the 2 year warranty, I hope to get an operable replacement, but if I don't, I'll let you know.
