Warning to all who want a non-plastic-y kettle
Hi,
If you are like me and is considering purchasing Chef's Choice M677SSG Cordless Electric Kettle-Stainless Steel Gray so you don't boil water in any sort of plastic container, then beware:
Though this kettle is entirely stainless steel on the inside as well as the outside, there are two little holes on the inside, near the handle, where the water goes through for the water indicator. Unfortunately, these two holes are insulated (waterproofed) with some sort of rubber/soft plastic substance, and the water indicator itself is made out of plastic rather than glass.
Besides that, this kettle does its job very well and I think most of the other reviews already pointed out the goodness and flaws of it.
Nice electric kettle
I like:
- The stainless still design
- Boils the water quickly
- Round base - easy put back on base from any direction
I don't like:
- The cover cannot be detached - inconvenient to fill water or clean
- The water level indicator is behind the handle - difficult to see
Summary:
Does the job very well and also looks good, slightly inconvenient to fill and clean.

I got the Model 677 about 2 months ago as a replacement for a similar item received as a gift several years ago. This kettle makes hot water just fine - very happy with that part.

That one feature obstructs cleaning the inside, and provides opportunity for breakage. Breakage either due to mechanical failure or accident seems almost certain. The "old" kettle had a removable lid -- perfect! I strongly recommend Chef Choice produce this with a removable lid, with the same size opening as the model 677, or larger. The other problem with the lid is that my wife cannot hold the pot under the faucet because of a ... Read More
Hot stuff!
Does exactly what it's supposed to do and looks classy on the counter top. Is it my imagination or does my coffee and tea taste better?
good wallpaper steamer
I loved the look of ths electric kettle but it took so long for the automatic shut off to kick in that my ceiling paint would have been peeling before very long. I returned this kettle.
