Absolutely hate that I bought this beautiful kettle and the little metal splash guard (I guess that’s what it is for) keeps coming out. Most of the time it falls into the kettle and I have to fish it out. This is NOT what I expected from a quality product in this price range.
This is exactly what I was looking for in an electric kettle. No plastic touching the water, one-piece stainless interior, and fast. Even filled to the capacity line, you'll have water at a true rolling boil in about 3.5 minutes, then it automatically shuts off. As with most Zwilling products, it's also quite sleek and attractive, and this 1 liter version takes up very little space on my counter but gives me plenty of hot water. (see video)
And true to its claims, even when the water is done and boiled, the outside remains barely warm. Nice 3-prong plug, too. And the lid only opens to a 70 degree angle to help prevent hot steam from going directly into a person's face if they were to pop the top too soon. Another safety feature.
As for all those folks worrying about spots at the bottom after using, that's simply from the minerals in your water! Mine showed up after ONE use because I used tap water and as it evaporates, the minerals are naturally left at the bottom. They are totally harmless, but to remove them, just take a tiny splash of white vinegar, swish and rinse it out. Voila! Just like shiny new again. This trick also applies to stainless steel cookware and glass coffee carafes to keep them beautiful.
Bottom line? This is a super efficient kettle that simply does what it's supposed to: gives you perfectly clean, hot water, quickly. Enjoy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a double wall electric kettle as I have little kids in the house and safety was a must. Zwilling was the only one that checked off all my boxes: simple design, decent warranty, double wall, not too crazy price. I have been using the kettle for a few weeks now and I am very pleased with it. There is some mild buildup that comes along with any kettle but I haven’t noticed any rust that has been mentioned in other reviews. Overall I really like the look and functionality of this product; hope it lasts long enough!
