Cloer 5054019 Electric 57-Ounce Water Kettle Review

Average Reviews:

I purchased the Cloer kettle for use in my office hoping that the water would taste good enough for making tea.It doesn't.The blue light is cool, but what I really want is clean hot water.After boiling the kettle out a couple of times, I made a cup of tea.The after taste was terrible.In the process of boiling, the water absorbed some something from the kettle.I attribute it to the silicone gasket and plastic construction.I sent the unit back to Amazon.

I have also tried the Proctor Silex K2070-1.The after taste on that one was at least twice as bad as the Cloer.It went back to Amazon as well.In my search for a kettle that makes clean hot water I will next try the Hamilton Beach 40898.That one appears to have no plastic in contact with the water.

Water coming out of a kettle should be identical to water boiled on a stove or in a microwave - steaming hot with no taste.Since most manufacturers are good at including "free flavor" with their kettles, why not make the flavor earl grey.Then they would have something.

Product Description:
Equipped with a 1500-watt heating element, this 57-ounce electric water kettle can quickly boil up to 7 cups of water for anything from tea, instant coffee, and hot cocoa to noodles, oatmeal, and more. The unit features a convenient cordless design, which lifts off its electric base for easy filling at the sink or serving at the table--no more unsightly cord trailing behind. To use, simply fill with water using the helpful measuring marks up the side, secure the kettle on its base, and flip the switch to "on". The kettle also provides inside lighted housing when switched on, a blue LED water-level indicator light, a generous stay-cool handle, and a nondrip pouring spout. For safety, the water kettle comes with a locked lid that opens with a touch of the button, overheat protection, and a run-dry safeguard to prevent operating on an empty tank. One hard-water filter comes included. The electric water kettle measures 9 by 6 by 9-1/2 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.

KRUPS BW3990 1.8 quart Electric Kettle, Stainless Steel Review

KRUPS BW3990 1.8 quart Electric Kettle, Stainless Steel

I have waited more than 3 months to review this tea kettle because I have bought so many in the past and written a rave review after just a couple weeks, only to have it break on me shortly thereafter. In fact, I'm still a bit afraid that if I write this review I will jinx my good luck with this tea kettle.

I bought the Krups kettle because of it's name, because I've heard that Krups products are good quality. It was a bit more expensive than other tea kettles out there, but after having bought 3 cheap ones in the past couple years that have broken down on me, I decided it was worth it to spend a bit more.

The design of the Krups kettle is pretty slick and it works very well. I've had problems in the past with the pop-up lid breaking, but this one has a nice smooth design that seems impossible to break. You can see the water levels through the semi-transparent blue and it has a nice swivel base. The water boils quickly, just as one would hope.

The only negative about this tea kettle is that you can only lift it by the handle after it has boiled because the metal part gets very hot. It took some getting used to for me because in the past, with my plastic kettles, I would sometimes pick it up with two hands, one on the handle and one on the kettle itself, so the first few times I used this one I burned myself. However, by now I've gotten used to it and don't think about it at all.

There was a "new kettle taste" in the water that lasted a bit longer than with other kettles, but of course after more than 3 months it is totally gone.

I hope this kettle will last me a long time! I'm very pleased with it and would recommend it.

Breville SK500XL Ikon Cordless 1.7-Liter Stainless-Steel Electric Kettle Review

Breville SK500XL Ikon Cordless 1.7-Liter Stainless-Steel Electric Kettle
Average Reviews:

While there is typically little difference between any two electric kettles, this one is at least at the top of the spectrum.

1. Being an extremely convenient home appliance "discovered" by the Europeans decades ago, and later in the USA, the electric kettle always left one concern: compared to its mundane predecessor it was typically made of plastic inside and out. Which could potentially mean various unhealthy substances emanating into the water from the plastic sides, especially at high boiling temperatures. This one is made of stainless steel and doesn't cause any such concerns.
2. The kettle can be rotated on its cordless base, which makes it easier to put it back on the base than some other models.
3. It has a transparent wall segment to measure water level. While this "window" is not located optimally (somewhat shadowed by the handle) and hasn't got a bright floating level marker, this design is sturdier than some others, and is less prone to leaks.
4. Blue back-light that goes on and lights this "window" when the kettle is switched on, is a nice touch. It both attracts attention and simplifies reading the water level.
5. It's easy to open the lid, and the opening is wide to add water with no problems or dripping. (In some models the handle partly covers the lid, making it hard to open and/or add water.)
6. Like in most up-to-date models, the heating spiral is NOT located inside the boiling case, but rather underneath it, which makes the design more relaible, and it is also much easier to wash the kettle inside if need be.
7. Time to boil is reasonable and not worse than average.

Product Description:
Equipped with a 1500-watt immersed heating element, this electric kettle quickly brings up to 1-2/3 liters of water to a rolling boil. To use, simply fill the kettle using the LED-illuminated water-level indicator to gauge how much, return it to its power base, and flip the switch to the "on" position. In about two minutes, hot water will be ready for anything from tea, instant coffee, and hot cocoa to instant soup or oatmeal. The kettle lifts off its power base for graceful serving without the hassle of a cord and can be returned at any angle. Other highlights include a cushion-controlled lid that opens with the press of a button, a viewing window in the lid, a "ready" bell indicator, a removable scale filter, a soft-grip open-style handle, and convenient cord storage. For safety, the kettle automatically shuts off when water reaches a full boil, and its boil-dry protection won't allow the unit to operate without water inside. Housed in premium-quality brushed stainless steel, the kettle measures 8-3/4 by 6 by 9 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

This Electric Kettle is quitesimple without any frills. For the price, it does what it claims to do. It boils water quickly , the water level is easy to see and has the auto-shut off feature. I have used it reliablyto boil water for tea, oatmeal etc. The water is quite hot, so use caution when pouring it out. The lid , can sometimes be hard to close & open.
