BPA free or not?
on February 16, 2016

Verified Purchase:No
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this kettle, but because I could not determine whether the plastic parts inside that touch the water are BPA free or not, unfortunately, it will be going back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tea kettle, the look fits well into my primitive colonial kitchen, it heats up fast, and it's a sturdy kennel. My only complaint about this appliance is that I wish it were larger. Since we use this every day for tea, cocoa, and our use it while canning, it would be nice if I didn't have to fill it so many times a day.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great looking kettle!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is definitely getting highest rating for the looks. It is good looking appliance and I do like its simplicity. It takes about 4 minutes to go from tap water temperature to rapid boil, and size is good for three mugs. So far works pretty well and is being used about 4-5 times daily.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this kettle
on April 3, 2018

Gender:Female
I purchased this kettle last week and found so many reasons to love this kettle. Top on my list is that my elderly father claims it’s not heavy and he no longer misses the tea cup. The pour spout is perfectly designed and no more leaks from the cap area as I has from many other brand tea kettles. It gets the water very hot, quickly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Simple to use but only lasted 7 months

I really liked the simplicity of the this electric kettle, just push down and the water will boil quickly and auto-shut off. Unfortunately only after 7 months of weekly use, it suddenly stopped working (the on light does not appear and kettle does not heat). I love the design but hesitant to purchase again if the longevity of the product is so short.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great kettle!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a simple but elegant design, with technical details that are very appealing to me. Base allows the cord to be stored so it's an appropriate length, kettle can sit down any way within the circle of the base without fumbling around. I have had this kettle for a while now and I am very satisfied with my purchase. A few reviews were not as great and I was very hesitant to order. It seemed that some people had rust problems after a few month. I leave the lid open to ensure that the moisture can escape after boiling water and I never leave any water in it. The hot kettle dries that way pretty quick and it prevents the rust.
I would recommend this to a friend!

from wayne, pa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this kettle 5 months ago from crate and barrel and its rusted on top so badly I can barely open the top of the kettle. I wish I would've known this would happen. It's trash now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
