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.
[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.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a recall replacement for the KitchenAid electric kettle we used to have. There was a recall on the handle although ours didn’t seem to have any issues. But since it is a safety concern, KitchenAid gladly replaced our kettle even though it probably had years of life left. The new kettle we received works the same great way as our old kettle. Set your desired temperature and press start. Cheaper kettles only boiled water. Being able to set your desired temperature allows you to make a great cup of tea since boiling water can make some green and chrysanthemum teas bitter. Being able to set the temperature is the best feature you can have on an electric kettle. We’ve had it for around a year and is still going strong.
