Having long wondered about switching from on-the-stove teakettle to a cordless electric kettle, I decided on this one. I wanted a glass kettle, didn't want one that turned the kettle to a color when boiling, and didn't need variable temperatures. This Cuisinart Kettle fit the bill and is perfect. There is a residue on the bottom due to hard water in my municipality, but I can clean and descale this easily. The kettle is efficient in heating quickly, capable of switching off when heated to max, easy to fill and pour from, and affordable.
I had never owned an electric teapot, although I had used them in Europe. I didn’t think I needed one. Over the holidays, my son and his wife who have one wanted us to get one for our vacation home and we did. I brought it home I loved it so much—-the convenience and the speed of getting boiling water without having to get a pan or use the microwave and another dish. I love the look of the Cuisinart with the glass pitcher and stainless steel. I will be buying another one.
Purchase was based on this electric kettle’s clean & unique design and cost; doesn’t disappoint when it comes to functionality either! Quick to boil, easy to operate and absolutely worth the simple 2.5 minutes a month it takes to descale and clean thoroughly! … in other words: disregard the reviews that complain about how a crystal clear glass kettle is “poorly made” or “a waste of money” because those buyers don’t understand how to maintain an appliance by actually cleaning it regularly and seem to think a product at this price point and made of *literal glass* should keep its original condition/look without any upkeep or effort… lol. But I digress. Keep up the good work Cuisinart.
Veryn ice kettle. It looks good and seems well made. I like that it’s mostly metal and glass. If you don’t want plastic in the water the strainer is removable. The only thing that could be better is the design of the locking mechanism for the lid. It’s a little difficult to open and close. You have to pull up on the lever in both directions, which isn’t really a problem when opening but is a little awkward when closing. Not a deal killer but it is a minor inconvenience.
