Great little kettle
This kettle is great for day-to day use, preparing tea or supplemental for cooking. Doesn't take up too much space and the cord unplugs once you're done heating the water. For the price, it's tolerable Quite simply, you can't beat $15 on amazon. The biggest and most annoying drawback to this is the electrical cord that plugs into the product. Most of the Braun's have a charging station, so you can pick up the pitcher off the charger and not worry about the dangling cords. In this case, the cord is attached to it, so you either have it dangling around as you pour the boiling water, or you have to unplug it, which, really isn't that big of a deal, but compared to the Braun's where you just pick it up, it's kind of annoying to have to fumble with an electrical cord. Not to mention the length of the cord is retardedly short. Also, when I first received the product, it emitted a REALLY terrible plasticky smell the first few boils. I washed it with soap and water, and most of the smell has vanished. Personally, I think I would've just went with a Braun had I known, but it is $25-35 more expensive. I've used them before with a former roommate and have absolutely no complaints about them. Saves time and money! This kettle is a very good value. It heats a liter/quart of water to a full boil in about five minutes. Also, it doesn't heat up the kitchen the way my ceramic stove-top kettle does, so it saves me on AC. Electric kettle makes a good cup of tea This electric kettle heats up quickly, shuts itself off, and does exactly what it is supposed to. I'd give it an A+! Quick Hot Water...!! Great for the office or at home,,, A coworker of mine received this electric kettle as a birthday gift. (We had a coffee maker that I bought for our work team, but we didn't have anything to make tea. Our cafeteria's coffee was so bad and they closed at 2:00, right around the time we needed some caffene.) Since she was a non-coffee drinker, this came in handy to make tea without having to run to another area of our building to use a microwave. It is quick and the auto-off feature is great. Can't beat the price. This is a stylish kettle too...! | |
