Easy to love electric kettle

This kettle hits the sweet spot in the categories of value, size, functionality and appearance. It holds 1 liter, which is a little less than a quart. Its the perfect size for heating water quickly for one to three cups of tea. The on/off button lights up when on. The auto shut off is an important safety feature. The lid opens up to about 3/4 to fully open. I would like it to open fully, but this has not been an issue for either filling or cleaning. Love this kettle and would recommend it.

Great value and very good product overall!

Such a good value! Perfect size for our needs. Really really fast at 1500W! And safe, as it automatically turns off (don't ask why we needed to replace our old stovetop kettle!) If I HAD to gripe: * My thumb sometimes goes over the handle and touches the hot chassis by the lid. * The water level indicator is awkward to look at if you hold it with your left hand as you fill it. * The lid doesn't open very far, makes it weird to clean. * It kind of rocks around on the base. * It's a lot louder than our old gas range kettle. Even so, five stars, and at such a good price! I would be happy to give this as a gift or buy it again if I needed to.

Fast and Handsome

We really like this kettle. It was a replacement for our Sunbeam Hot Shot which we thought we could never live without. But the reviews were not good on that product anymore so we purchased this. We like this pot a lot! It takes up only a small space on the counter and heats the water up very fast. The 2 foot cord wraps in a coil and his hidden in the bottom so you pull out only the length you need -- no long cords on the counter-top anymore. It is lightweight and pours easily with no spilling or dripping. It also looks very handsome and appears to be more expensive than it is. This is a very good buy.

Cheap, Amazing Kettle!!

Great kettle and oh so cheap!!! This kettle is easy to use, very cheap, and very good. I have been using it for about 2 months and it still works like the first time. Has clear indicators for the amount of water you are filling. Gets boiling hot in about 1 minute. The automatic off switch is perfect for mornings so you can do other things while the water boils. Make sure you empty all the remaining water out of the kettle and leave the lid open to let all the steam exit to avoid corrosion or anything. Love this little thing.

Easy to use. Beats stovetop heat.

Easy to use. Do not wash with soap and water after opening. I almost did but stopped with the water running because I didn’t think I should get the electronic base wet. Thank goodness I stopped to read the instructions. All you need to do is boil water in the kettle twice, replacing the water the second time. Then it’s clean! The water heats up super fast. Easy to use. The base doesn’t get the counter hot. Really beats boiling the water in my old teakettle and sweating with the stove’s heat. I love this kettle. The inside bottom is cool too. It’s a very clear mirror.

Fast, hot, clean, easy to use-Love this kettle!

I love this kettle! I've had several different types of water heating appliances because I love tea. I have tried microwaving, traditional coffee pots, cheap plastic kettles, and single serve pots. I have 3 different locations for use: home, school/office, and camper. This kettle had become a favorite at all locations for its quick heat, ear of use, and temperature abilities. In about 35 seconds, I have a liter of water at the perfect tea making temp for black teas. For herbals, I stop it a bit earlier for cooler brewing. My only improvements would be to get the larger one for family at home and I miss the programmable start time. That second but is really laziness as the time it takes to get the mugs and tea ready is about how long it takes to heat width this unit. I will buy again. The pot comes off the heating element for easy cleaning and safety. I really love this thing at under $20 bucks.

Great little kettle :)

I think this is a great little kettle. I drink tea nonstop. I mean what do you need? I need a kettle to boil the hell out of some water fast. I don’t need it to filter clean water, boiling does that. It wasn’t expensive, it’s all stainless for the exception of a few plastic parts (handle, window, base), and it seems well made. It automatically shuts off. Seems to take about 2-3 minutes to heat up, and stays hot since stainless retains heat. For $20 I’m super happy. I didn’t rate 5 stars only because I’ve had it about a week. If it lasts 2 yrs it’s well worth the money. I upped my review to 5 stars. I just love this thing.

Brand new but beats my early expectations

I purchased this for use in a facility where a family member is recuperating. Figured it would save me trips to the coffee shop and pay for itself - rapidly. So far - I’d rate it better than expected. The water boils super fast and when I say HOT - I mean hot. The unit will auto shut off upon reaching the boil and it’s easily seen and heard. Unit is pretty noisy when boiling but that’s a minor issue because it’s really quick. I’ve made tea coffee cocoa and they’re all great steeping fully and without that white foam that appears when water temps are less than ideal.the appearance is clean and simple reminiscent of an old fashioned retro coffee percolator without the perk top. Handle is comfortable and capacity yields plenty. It’s brand new so we will see how it lasts but for the price I’d say once again amazon basics has “delivered the goods”. Loving it!

A really easy to use kettle that boils quickly and shuts itself ...

A really easy to use kettle that boils quickly and shuts itself off when the water boils. It has saved me the problem of worrying about whether I remembered to turn the stove off in the mornings when I leave for work. My only caveat would be that it's tempting to fill this to the top even though the "1.0 L" mark is about 3 inches from the lid - and if you do fill it to the top, you will inevitably spill as (1) the water will boil out of the spout, and (2) it's impossible to pour from the spout without some leakage when it's too full.

Love this tea kettle!!!!

We recently decided to invest in a french press for making coffee and needed a tea kettle to heat up the water. I have the old stovetop tea kettles, but I don't like those as much. After being overseas and seeing that everyone uses an electric kettle, I decided to purchase one too. This is very easy to use and I'm amazed at how quickly it heats up water. The water stays hot for quite a while too. My daughter loved it so much when she came to visit that we bought her one too!
