Perfect for my Kitchen!

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2024

This pot is fast and small enough for me (one person). It does not take long to heat water, turns off automatically and I love the looks of it.

Heats fast, easy to use.This is my first electric kettle,

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023

This is my first electric kettle, and it's now my favorite appliance. I drink instant coffee, and this is so simple to use in the morning. It's those little things that make the morning that much nicer - like a good bath towel.

Yes, it's plastic, but it's very light and I assume doesn't leach chemicals into the water. Anyway, it seems solid, but I've only used it a few dozen times.

The reason I even came to this review page is to see if others were having occasional trouble with the on/off switch. And I see others have mentioned the on-off swirch can be finicky, especially if you have wet hands (or a wet thunb to be precise). Maybe the swith needs more of a ridge or grooves to have a better grip.

Also as others mention, the lid doesn't easily come off, but it's also nice that the lid doesn't get separated. it doesn't need to be reattached, and it opens with a press of a button.

It's a great kettle in my view, though I have little experience with other models.

Efficient tea kettle

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2024

I love the style and design of this product. And it works really efficiently. This is my second one, and I noticed that it doesn’t have the bell that rings when the water is fully boiled. That is my only complaint. My previous model had a little bell that went off so I could hear when the water was ready.

(17oz Variant) Wonderful kettle if you’re a single-person household.

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2022

I got this kettle specifically due to its small size. Since I exclusively use it for nightly tea, which is only 12oz. So a half liter kettle would be way overboard. And considering it’s price, this little thing is brilliant!

The design is gorgeously simple, (especially the white, very bauhaus). In terms of how it functions, it’s very simple, but it works well. You simply pour the water into the kettle, pop it on the plate that connects it to power, and flip the switch. It’ll turn off once it starts boiling. It’s also built very well. While it’s made of plastic, it’s very nice and sturdy plastic. It’s also heavy, much heavier than it looks. Which makes sense since there’s a metal heating plate that boils the water.

I have also noticed some people in the reviews complaining about the metal boiling plate in the kettle becoming tarnished after being used a couple times. While this also happened to me, its purely cosmetic, and has no effect on the function of the kettle. It’s just the minerals in the water being burned into the surface. It’s more common if you have hard water. If you just really hate the idea of the boiler plate in your kettle looking tattered, you can use bottles or filtered water. But frankly I just don’t see why you would even care.

My only real gripe is that you are not able to clean the inside of the kettle. Bodum recommends you simply fill it up to the maximum fill line and let it boil out to clean it. While I understand that the kettle has electronics inside that could be damaged with contact with water, it’s a bit naf they don’t even let you remove the top lid to wipe out the inside with a damp cloth or something. Small grip but it annoys me, so here it is :p

Overall I would recommend this for any single person household. It’s great and I love it, wonderful job bodum ????

I've bought this three years ago and it has served daily all that time. It heats incredibly fast and has far exceeded all my expectations.

Great for tea for one or two!

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2014

After a recent trip to London, I came back a tea drinker, and a fan of electric kettles. Not long after clearing customs back in the U.S., I started looking for an electric kettle.

I initially bought a larger kettle from another manufacturer, but returned it due to the poor quality (lid seemed to melt after going through the pre-use cleaning process) and the fact that 1.7L was just too large for me. Neither my roommate or girlfriend are tea drinkers, so I am usually making tea for one (or sometimes two). Accordingly the old kettle, which had a minimum fill equal to the full fill on this kettle, was wasteful to use.

After searching high and low, this seemed to be the only quality kettle I could find that was well suited for a solo drinker. It is priced higher than I would have liked (pricier than the larger one, actually). However, I have been very happy with the kettle. Filling it about halfway is perfect for a larger cup of tea for one, and filling to the max works out well for two. The unit is quiet, and the plastic gets warm but not unbearably hot like the stainless steel ones.

Boiled down (no pun intended), here are the pros and cons:

Pros
-Small, perfect for tea for 1 or 2
-Compact on the countertop
-Quick boil
-Seems well built
-Not ugly

Cons
-Plastic almost all the way around, except for the heating unit at the bottom
-Black looks good, but might have purchased the red one in retrospect
-Lid opens a bit awkwardly - it spins in place and is suspended above the reservoir, which makes for an awkward fill at times

DON'T ORDER THIS ELECTRIC KETTLE - safety issue and terrible customer support from Bodum

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2024

I didn't expect a defective product and terrible service when I ordered this top-of-the-line electric kettle. The main issue is that it turns on spontaneously, even when there is no water in it, and it does not shut off by itself. I have gotten up in the night and found it on and very hot - too hot to touch! I tried to contact customer service (email address provided by Amazon) and they are slow to respond and not at all helpful. They insist that in order to help me I must send a video of the problem, which of course is impossible to do as I cannot capture it as it turns on spontaneously unless I set up 24 hour/7 day a week surveillance:) I have tried to ask for elevation to a manager and they simply stopped responding. There are additional issues regarding the quality which I have tried to capture in this photo. The lid does not close completely, and the black lines have smeared. The whole thing is a hot mess! Save yourself the money and order a cheaper brand that works and perhaps offers better post-purchase product service. Shame on you, Bodum!
