Bodum 10552-16US Ottoni Cordless 51-Ounce Electric Water Kettle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)On the positive side, this is beautifully designed kettle and well constructed of stainless steel, which is what I was expecting after paying a whooping $179 for a kettle.
However if like me, you were willing to pay such a price for a mere kettle in the hope of having an all metal kettle with no plastic parts, you would be disappointed: the water level is metal; the filter is cheap plastic but it is removable; however the inside of the lid is a black plastic on which water condenses and this for me was unacceptable for this price range. I fail to understand manufacturers who can be so greedy on their profits so much so that they have to cut costs by substituting with cheap plastic even when asking for a premium price. Also kettle is made in China, so must not have cost Bodum half the asking price....For $50 I could find an all metal kettle with a few plastic points, so I had to return this kettle back. Not good enough, so until someone comes up with a kettle that takes into account the concerns of customers, I will have to wait and settle for a stovetop kettle...

Product Description:
An electric version of the original Ottoni Stovetop Kettle, this compact cylindrical kettle boasts the same sparse post-modernist '70s design with whimsical touches such as the mystical blue-beaded lid handle and a row of raised dots hammered into the steel around its upper circumference. However, the kettle also has a function: its slightly wider base directs heat upward so water boils faster than in other kettles. Even more, its stainless-steel heating element sits below a stainless-steel plate to ensure maximum surface contact between the hot metal and water. The kettle quickly and efficiently boils up to 51 ounces of water for tea, hot cocoa, and more. For safety, its automatic shut-off function turns the unit off once the water boils or if the heating element overheats. Other highlights include a durable plastic loop handle, a lift-off lid for easy refilling, and a removable scale filter in the spout for better-tasting beverages, as well as a base unit for cordless operation, a simple on/off switch, and brilliantly polished stainless-steel construction that will nicely compliment any kitchen decor. To clean, wipe the outside of the kettle with a damp cloth and descale as needed. The fully automatic electric water kettle measures 10-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 7-4/5 inches and carries a two-year warranty.
