A working kettle
The kettle works OK but I have two problems with it. Firstly, you have to really slam the lid shut tight (instead of having it closed but not to the far end), otherwise it won't stop heating automatically and will keep boiling till all water evaporates. That happened to me during the first use. Secondly, there is always this very annoying plastic smell in my water. I am not sure if that is because of my water quality (maybe something is in my water and reacting with the plastic?) or because of the poor plastic quality of the kettle. But I am quite sure a good kettle would be made from inert quality plastic and not make water smell like melted plastic soup. Love it Reading many reviews about this item, I hesitated to purchse it. But, I used similar items that cost much more than this and was not satisfied with them, so I decided to try this. It is an excellent product. I have never expected this quality at this price. Great for a dorm room Great to use in a dorm room, perfect for cup-o-noodle soup :-) We have also used it at our daycare to make formula (mixed with some cool water too). Very well built for the money and heats the water up very quickly. was worth it I am a tea drinker and need hot water prepared fast, so this kettle serves its purpose. We have the same type of kettle at work and have been using it for a year - both still working. Small but works well While this kettle does heat the water fairly quickly, I thought it was going to be a little bigger. It says it makes 6 cups, but in reality it makes about 2 1/2. I'm not sure what their measuring standards are, but they aren't the same as mine. So sometimes I just fill it a few times in order to get the amount of hot water I need. | |
