Product DescriptionWith 1100 watts of power, this electric kettle boils up to 55 ounces of water quickly and easily, producing hot water for tea, hot chocolate, and instant soup in half the time of a microwave oven. Its cordless design allows for lifting the kettle off its base for enhanced mobility or serving guests at the table. The unit's durable nickel-plated heating element resists staining, while its removable, washable, mesh water filter reduces lime scale in beverages. The hot-water kettle also features a hinged lid for convenient cleaning and filling, and a water-level window for an accurate water fill. A power ''on'' indicator light and an automatic shut-off switch with boil-dry protection ensure added safety. Other highlights include a generous handle, a drip-free spout for graceful pouring, and cord storage to help keep countertops tidy. The cordless jug kettle measures 8-2/3 by 6-2/3 by 9-2/5 inches and carries a one-year warranty.
What Others Say
It is simply hot water
This is a basic, straight-forward, easy to use electric kettle. It doesn't have the higher quality feel of a Braun or Breville, but for the inexpensive cost & free shipping it can't be beat. This has the older style cordless base (rectangular fitting under the handle instead of the center round fitting in the middle of the newer kettles).
Good Kettle for 19.99 but I don't know about 32.99
I purchased this recently for 19.99 from Amazon (directly) and went back to get another for my parents and it looks like they don't sell it directly anymore (i.e., free shipping)! The "twist off" lid other reviewers have talked about is not really a big deal, actually it is a safety feature and I like it. . .it "was" a great deal for the price I paid but alas, it looks like no longer. The color is more of an off-white rather than bright white, so better than I expected.
Perfect performance!
This was exactly what I was looking for. I'm not too fond of "no-name" appliances, but was willing to give it a go since the other reviews were much better than comparable name brand products which were significantly higher priced.
Works perfectly as described.
The large lid, though a little cheesy as others have said, makes filling very easy. Yeah, the element is exposed, so we'll all use our brains and not stick our hands in the pot (duh). This pot specifically says the coil is nickel, and not aluminum. I don't like to mess with aluminum cooking utensils, and am pleased.
The water-level window on the side is LARGE and easy to see. You can even watch the water boil.
Just Perfect
I was looking for some of the features found in the more expensive models, detachable base, large capacity, the only negative point on this model is the exposed coil. It heats rather quickly, has a clear gauged indicator so you know how much water is left. For the price it is the best you will find
Good for the price
I've had this pot about 6 months and have been pleased with its performance so far. I'm ashamed to admit I probably only use it twice a week, but it's very convenient when I need it. It heats water very fast and stays quiet, and can really speed up boiling water for pasta or other dishes to be later cooked on the stove. The lid seems somewhat cheap, but for the price I can't really complain -- most lesser-capacity 1 3/4 quart pots are more than twice the price! Note that the item description is WRONG: this pot holds 2 liters or about 68 fluid ounces, not 55 as stated.
