October 30, 2023 update: As mentioned in previous update, I used my older boiler for the toilet. Do NOT put boiling water in your toilet. HOT water is good, but not boiling water. It was raining in my basement, and I had to replace the wax ring in my commode. The boiling water melted my wax ring. This is not a review, but I had to warn others that it is NOT a good idea to pour boiling water in your pipes, after writing my previous update. Also, if you have a clog and that boiling water sits in one spot, it can mess up your plumbing. If you have a clog, use Dawn and WARM water. AND Do NOT use a kitchen boiler to pour water in your toilet; bacteria will splash up into the pot and can infect your family. Buy a separate pot to use for household purposes only, Now I can sleep at night.October 16, 2023 Update: My water boiler is still running strong. Unfortunately, my toilet isn’t. I found out that an hour of Dawn in the commode followed by a bunch of boiling water is the best way to remove a clog (you’re welcomed). So, like most oldsters who have had a strong and loyal career, it was demoted as toilet boiler, while the more youthful water boiler takes the coveted place on the kitchen counter…looking cocky and proud. I felt it had to be done this way, because I also have a microscope and have proven to myself that a heavy dumping of boiling water into the commode can and will result in backsplash landing on and inside the water boiler. Yes, the commode water is probably clean…especially after dumping a small bottle of dawn in the toilet water, but this is one time I don’t want to take any chances. So until it takes it’s last current of electricity, this big guy will be the household toilet boiler. The button is still a bit difficult to push, but it still works. Thank you, water boiler, for taking one for the team and being a sport about it!May 2, 2023 Update: My pot stopped working again. When this happens, I try to push down the button, but the button flips back up again. But this time, I was able to turn it on, but it turned off before the water reached boiling.I figured this behavior meant the pot had finally reached retirement age. So I decided to open the other pot (same model, not been used). I reached over to unplug the cord, and the plug and about 2-3 inches of the cord was very very hot. So I unplugged the cord, and waited until the cord cooled.In the meantime, I discovered that I had my instant pot sitting on the cord, by accident. I’m not sure if this was why my cord turned hot (I’m not an electrician), but I freed the cord from the ruthless instant pot (sometimes appliances don’t get along in my kitchen).When the cord was finally cool, I plugged it back in and it worked like a charm!Now, I’m not sure if an overheated plug was why my pot had stopped working in the past (I mentioned this behavior further down, and blamed it on a wet or overheated plate), but now I’m wondering if the cause of the pot going on a workpot’s strike, was because the cord was too hot. Either way, if it stops working, feel the plug. If it feels warm or hot to the touch, simply unplug it and wait until the cord cools.Thank you, Water Heater People, for saving me from burning down my own kitchen. ❤️February 4, 2023 Update:I made the mistake of leaving my water pot’s lid open when I turned it on. I got distracted and it boiled dry. Apparently the automatic shut-off mechanism is in the lid. When the lid is opened, the pot will not shut off automatically. So, I went out to pour my water and there wasn’t any.However, the good news is my house is still standing and this pot STILL WORKS! I assume the pot clicked off while water was still in the pot, and then, the rest evaporated. If it had boiled completely dry, the elements would’ve burned out, I’m sure. The second pot I purchased is still in its box waiting to be used.As for this original pot, I now make sure to tap on the lit before turning it on, just to make sure the lid is closed. It’s become a ritual. 🙂November 2022 Update:I still haven’t used my second pot, yet. The first pot is still going strong. Occasionally, the lid gets sticky, and is difficult to open, but it’s an occasional issue. My water heater blew a few days before Thanksgiving, and this little fella picked up the slack! It heated water for dishes, and made Thanksgiving bearable.April 2022 Update:After almost a year of using the pot, it became difficult to switch on. I immediately bought a duplicate; because, dang it! I love this pot! After I put in the order, I was demonstrating to my husband how it doesn’t turn on, and it turned on! My only explanation of what was happening was that something got wet and it hadn’t dried out yet. I do tend to shoot the water from the tap across the counter into the pot...just to make housework more fun. Maybe I should stop doing that, because water can get into the handle.If your pot suddenly stops working, my suggestion is to unplug it and briefly take a blow dryer to the electric base and the pot’s base. If you have time, forget the blow dryer, and just set it aside to dry naturally.Many of my appliances, when over heated or wet, will cut off and become unusable until it cools or dries out.At least I have another pot. If this gets wet again, I can replace it with the new pot until this one dries out. I’m thinking of buying another pot just for the purpose of boiling eggs. That way, I won’t have to worry about bacteria getting in the coffee.July 2021 update...so, yes, just like others have reported, about a month or so after using it, it suddenly wouldn't turn on. No light, no heat. But I'm not one to sit idly by, and accept a setback as my new reality. No, Sirree! If I'm going to throw something out, I'm going to figure out the cause of the setback so I can repair it. In this case, the first ring around the protruding pin at the center of the bottom of the carafe became rusted. The rust blocks a current between the base and the carafe, preventing the unit from working effectively. If you place the pot at a different angle (place the pot with your alternate hand, for instance), it may work. At any rate, I simply used a fine-grade sand sponge and sanded off the rust. Steel wool may work, also; but it is a very precise and microscopic job, either way. After I sanded off the rust, I blew off the rust residue and added a thin coat of coconut oil to prevent further rusting. So far, so good. I added pictures to point out the rust. As for the white spots inside the pot, that's going to happen if you have hard water. Hey, you didn't hear about people in the 16th century complaining about spots in their water boiler, did you? Of course not! Those lucky people didn't have to deal with water spots, because they carried their water in from the creek and poured it in an iron kettle. I'm sure you can find an iron kettle on Amazon. I'm not sure where your closest creek is. Maybe Google Maps can show you...OR...you can buy white vinegar or just pretend the spots aren't there.Mild update: Since I'm correcting typos that I failed to catch earlier, I will say as of today, June 14, 2021 the coconut oil appears to be holding its own. I added a wee bit more, but the kettle hasn't stopped or failed to start since I applied the first thin coat. 🙂Older review: I love it! My last water boiler almost caught my house on fire, leaked and the water sloshed out of the spout. This water boiler pours very smoothly and boils 1 liter of COLD water in four minutes. I haven't timed warm water, but I will confirm it's going to be less than four minutes.The blue light is ok; not as spectacular as I thought it would be. But I didn't buy this for entertainment.The spout strainer pulls forward, covering the spout when you close the lid. When you open the lid, it has a spring that allows the strainer to be moved down for filling water. It doesn't stay down, but it won't snap off when you're trying to fill the carafe, which was its intended purpose, I believe. It IS made of metal, so you don't have to worry about poisoning your family with seeping plastic chemicals. In fact, nothing on or in this pot that comes in contact with liquid is made of plastic. The handle and outside of the lid are plastic for the purpose of insulating you from burns. I have on occasion been forced to use a silicone potholder to support the base while pouring, but I wouldn't remove points for that.It does NOT have a temp control...but you CAN watch it boil and could probably judge from the water's action and reaction when it's the temperature for you. Over time, you be a pro and figuring the proper tea temp.I really do like this pot, and would recommend it for my own grandmother, if she was alive to use it.The price is good for the product. I'd buy it if I were you. You don't know when the price will rise.I have a heat streak. So if something does go wrong with the pot after posting this review, I will be sure to return to post the issues. For now, it's working great!

I had left my old french press at my parents house for when I would come to visit and was looking for a cheap kettle to be able to heat up the water rather than having to use a pot and risk burning myself. This kettle worked out perfectly. It is very well priced and heats up water super quickly. I probably made 4 different brews of coffee while visiting my parents and the kettle made it super easy. I will say this is not a kettle you would want to use if you are wanting to do pour over coffee, but will work great if you are doing french press coffee.

I'm a tea drinker and have purchased MANY kettles in my lifetime, from cheap to way more expensive than I wanted, trying to find one that would last without the inside coating flaking off or the spout joint leaking. No luck. I gave up this week and purchased this electric kettle for under 20 dollars. I have tea in under 2 minutes, and it's so easy to maintain. It's black and chrome and glass and looks nice on the counter. The clear option is fancier and more expensive with a bunch of buttons, but I don't need fancy, I just want my tea!! Seriously good deal, great product. Buy it

It earned its five stars, which I seldom give out. My trusty teapot, once past its prime, was ruined by tap water deposits. This is a seven-cup plus pot. I bought it so I wouldn't have to heat up the kitchen in the summer to make tea or oatmeal, and I didn't want to spend too much due to my water-ruining appliances. It's fascinating to watch the water form a rolling bubble. Autoshut off—quick heat up. A little more capacity than I need, but it's sturdy and better than some of the pots I've tried (one I bought was too unstable and wiggly on the counter to be safe.

Used this kettle daily for 2 years and yesterday, it decided it won't boil anymore. After doing a bit of research, I've decided to buy another one. For $25 bucks, it's still a good deal.The reason I got another one is that there's a few things to like about this kettle.- It boils a pretty large amount of water compared to other kettles- It does boil very fast. I used a fancier gooseneck kettle in the past and this one boils probably around twice as fast- I like that it's glass and not plastic or metal. It looks pretty descent on a countertopAgain, for this price, I'm not mad it didn't last. Going in for a second round

Why did I wait so long to get this?!? So the wife and I both like various instant hot drinks, oatmeal, etc. For years we had been using a hot water heater/coffee maker. It worked but you had to continually add water as the water heater side capacity was low. Not bad if only making one cup, but two large cups and it was a pain. It finally gave up the ghost and would blink "add water" even when full and refuse to heat. Decided to give this electric kettle a try and wow! what a difference. Plenty of capacity to make both of us large cups and hot cereals if we want, and it does it so fast you barely have time to prep the cups and bowls before you have nice piping hot water. The clear sides make it easy to see as the water is heating if you want to pull it before its a rolling boil. The base is well designed so that the kettle is not going go tip or slide off and once lifted it instantly turns off. Definitely one of the better kitchen gadgets I've got.

I absolutely love this tea kettle, and I love the color! It looks so expensive even though the price is so good. The deal is unbeatable and this brand is wonderful. It’s stainless steel and glass. There is also a strainer. It doesn’t take much time for the water to boil, which is great and it’s easy to clean with vinegar.
