Review: After almost 20 years of iced tea addiction, I think I’ve probably brewed iced tea using every method known. I’ve draped tea bags over the top of a big clear jug, left to sit for several hours on a south-facing porch. Dangled tea bags over the side of a...

Pros: Great-looking, Automatic Shut-off, Quiet

Cons: pricey

Review: I can honestly say that this is one product (handsome as it is) that I could live without. In fact, when I ripped open the happy birthday wrapping paper and lifted the kettle out of the box, I really didn't think I'd use it right away, since I...

Pros: Improved design, truly automatic, very hot water - FAST.

Cons: Hole is a little small for cleaning inside.

Review: 02/03/04 This little pot is still going strong! Heats very well and has not been one minute of trouble since we got it. Our water is not hard, so we have had no scale buildup in 3 full years. I feel certain a little vinegar water would quickly do ...

Pros: It is easy to lift, stainless steel and has a longer warranty than most.

Cons: None

Review: I've tried several electric kettles and this one is by far the best. The handle on the top makes it easier to lift when full of water. The ones with the handles on the side don't balance well. I didn't find that the steam drifted onto my hand as a ...

Review: We recently received this product as a gift and at first I was resistant because of the electric cord and base but after trying it once I can tell why we like it so much. I make coffee one cup at a time with a paper filter, coffee grinder and ...

Cons: Kettle gets too hot, risk of steam burn.

The Bottom Line: A great way to heat water. So easy anyone can use it.

Pros: build quality fast heating

Cons: possible burns noisy fill method is cumbersome

The Bottom Line: If it is going to sit on your counter every day you might as well get an attractive looking kettle.

Review: My wife and I have always relied heavily on the good ol' water kettle. Whether it was dorm living and making ramen to boiling water for the newborn, our kettle never left the small condo countertop real estate. When our most recent model went kaput ...

Pros: Quick boil, quiet, no bad smell or taste

Cons: Spot-weld for the handle may prove to be weak.

Review: We have been having bad experiences trying to purchase a new kettle to replace our old Russell and Hobbs (European manufacture not the new Chinese). They all seem to have a problem with taste and smell if you leave water in them. That is longer than ...

Cons: You'll get steam while pouring. small mouth opening

The Bottom Line: it's a good electric cordless kettle.

Review: I saw this one listed as the best kettle in the class, which is to my surprise. I've written a review on another electric kettle by kitchenaid, which I thought was better. The reason why I'm using this one now is because my guests have burnt the ...
