Editorial Review

Housed in a smooth, modern-looking design, this 1000-watt electric kettle rapidly boils up to 1 quart of water for coffee, tea, instant soups, and more. The unit features a detachable cord and a nonspill spout for graceful serving, plus a generous handle with a secure grip. Its immersed heating element provides a rapid and quiet heating process, making it ideal for the office, home, or college dorm. Dual water-level indicators allow for convenient filling, and the unit's easy-open lid is designed with a security lock to prevent spilling. And there's no need to worry about leaving it on, the kettle automatically shuts off when the water boils, and its boil-dry protection keeps the unit from boiling when there's no water left

Comment:	This was a gift my family and it works great. Great size for a small family that does not need a lot of hot water. Quick and fast. GREAT PRODUCT.

Summary:	The Plastic Smell Wouldn't Dissipate
Comment:	I bought this kettle over 2 months ago, for its compact size, to sit on my desk at work. But, after over a dozen washing - at first with dish soap and even tried soaking in vinegar once - plus dozens of pot of boiled water, it still makes the water smell like plastic. The smell continues to overwhelm the tea I try to make. I finally gave up and tossed it in the trash today.

Summary:	I HATE it! ($15...)
Comment:	I bought this as a quick summertime replacement after purchasing a $100 one for the house- at first I thought that I wished it was available the first time I went shopping for one. Then, I realized: -the lid is awkward and leaks steam and water (you have to pour VERY carefully to not be burned and/or leaked on) - the water does indeed taste like plastic (I thought this would go away EVENTUALLY but didn't; boiled vinegar in it and now the water tastes like plastic AND vinegar...) -the auto-shut-off doesn't work regularly. Sometimes it boils for minutes, without shutting off. -cord is VERY short- one must constantly plug/unplug to use- a huge nuisance. I hate it. (So does my neighbor, who happens to have an identical one, which I found out as I was randomly complaining about it!) (What can I expect for $15?)

Comment:	Once you own one of these, you will wonder how you ever lived without it. This is easy to use, is faster than a microwave and very well priced.

Summary:	You get what you paid for
Comment:	I bought this kettle because of its size and price. It was really hard to find something moderately priced with 1 Quart capacity. It is not too bad for the price - it has nice look, good form factor, and automatic shut off. However, I still feel the smell of plastic in boiled water after one month of use.
