5.0 out of 5 stars A great electric kettle
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2024
Let's say you decide that a hot cup of tea would be great. But without this well designed minor appliance which produces up to almost 2 quarts of boiling water in about 5 minutes, this would involve first filling a pot, firing up the stove, and then waiting for the water to boil. You are then faced with a dilemma: Should you hover over the heating pot (and risk it never boiling), or just go sit down and risk falling asleep while you wait, and ruining the pot by boiling it dry? Yet with this efficient and attractive alternative, you can be enjoying a fresh, hot cup of tea in minutes! And, it has a great blue light so that you can easily disprove the old adage by watching through the glass as the water quickly boils up right in front of your eyes.

=====================================

* It was completely rewritten on 12-25-2023 with the same conclusions and additional details.
=====================================

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front)
As of the date of this review, there are nearly 60,000 ratings for this Mueller Kettle. The vast majority of the reviews are 5-Star and very positive, so that says a lot. I've had this kettle for over a year, use it several times a week, and I agree with all of those positive reviews.

I've recommended this Mueller electric kettle to family and friends and I highly recommend it here without hesitation. That's the takeaway. If you're in the market for a water kettle, definitely consider this one.
---------------------------------

► VERY ATTRACTIVE
First of all - this is an attractive modern-looking appliance. The pictures showing it turned on with the pleasantly blue running-lights shining through the clear glass of the body no doubt catch the eye of many potential customers. And it looks good just sitting on the counter. -- Except for the power cord. More on that below.

► FUNCTION
Water heats quickly and the unit shuts off when a rolling boil is reached. That's all it does; It will not keep water warm or hot. The lid mechanism seems to be much sturdier as compared to electric kettles from other mfr's that I've used in the past.

► TIME TO BOILING
There are three volume measurements on the side of the glass: MAX 1.8L (61 fl.oz), 1L (34 fl.oz.), and MIN .5L (17 fl.oz.). I measured time to boiling and automatic shutoff for each volume, starting with a room temperature kettle and tap water temperature of 57° F (14° C).
1.8L = 8 minutes, 39 seconds
1L = 5 minutes, 12 seconds
.5L = 2 minutes, 41 seconds

► ERGONOMICS - HANDLE
The handle is comfortable for me but as others have noted it seems to be thicker than necessary, and those with smaller hands might appreciate a handle with a smaller profile. But as a safety concern I would think a thicker handle is easier to grip and control than one that's too small. So IMO this larger profile is likely safer for the vast majority of people.

I've also noticed the handle barely gets warm even when the water is boiling. The handle can be a little slick if your hands are wet, but once you're aware, it's no longer an issue. (A lightly textured handle surface might be welcomed by some users.)

► SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENT - POWER CORD
If Mueller were to ask me what could be improved, there's only one thing I would mention - and that's the power cord. Before I go further I want to first say the most important aspect of a power cord is that it's safe. And assuming a thicker power cord is always safer, I'd rather have a thicker cord. If only this stiff, thick power cord would neatly fold, bend - or just generally get out of the way.

The stiff cord sticks straight out of the electric receptacle for several inches, plops on the counter and takes up space. It resists coiling and manipulating except for very large bends. So, in a small kitchen like mine the cord takes up valuable counter space, limits counter organization and doesn't want to allow for placing the kettle next to the wall.

The best solution I could think of was a 90 degree adapter that would direct the power cord straight down from the receptacle. The adapter has to be heavy duty so it can handle the 1500 watt draw. I found the following right angle adapter here on Amzn. It's rated at 15 amps and should be able to handle most countertop appliances, including this kettle. I've been using this adapter on my kettle for over a year and it never even gets warm. (amazon.com/s?k=B001R0RNWK) This adapter reduces the issue only by about 50%, as the cord still has its own idea of where it wants to be.

For most people the power cord will be a small issue, and I mention it here at length only because every time I use the kettle I involuntarily think about how much I dislike it.

► KUDOS TO MUELLER
Something I've seen in other reviews stands out. There have been several 2023 reviews that stated the Mueller kettles leaked from the outset. Ok, things happen. Manufacturing processes are not perfect and there will always be some defective products coming off the assembly line that don't get caught in Quality Control. Those defective units appear to be outliers and it was reported that Mueller quickly replaced them. Kudos to Mueller. Sadly, it seems that fewer and fewer mfr's stand behind their products.

► GENERIC TIP
I have a possibly obvious tip to throw into the ether. Over time, heat and steam from toasters & electric kettles can damage or discolor the finish of overhead cabinets. You might consider pulling these appliances out from under low hanging cabinets before use.

It seems fast and it's pretty typical. Not much else to say. I don't use it very much since I mostly drink coffee, but it's useful for heating up water fast.

This is such a great product, durable, great construction. I bought this after my elderly mother burned the tea kettle to bone dry, it was unusable. This has safety features that make this idiot proof. It turns itself off when water is boiled and when there is no water in it, it will also turn itself off to avoid any accidents. It performs really well, it looks nice, and it has a bright blue light around the glass pot to let you know it is on and heating the water. It also has an easy to remove and clean filter in the spout to keep any particles in the water out of your cup. Easy to clean and easy to handle. I would highly recommend this and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pours very nicely!
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2024
When my old water kettle died I replaced it with this Mueller Ultra Kettle as this type of kettle is used daily in homes across Europe. The spout design on this kettle is wonderful and pours nicely without water dribbling all over the counter - the hot water goes neatly into the awaiting cup. It's sturdy and easy to pour from when full. The blue light is helpful to watch the bubbles (i.e. calculate the water temp). The only issue I have is that the pop-top button used to open the lid to refill the kettle doesn't always work. I'm very happy with the design, sturdiness and function of this kettle, but a little disappointed that the lid doesn't always open when the button is pushed. The kettle has been purchased within last 3 weeks.

I recently had to stop drinking coffee for the most part and I’ve been drinking more tea so I thought getting a kettle would be helpful for my wife and I and it has been. It heats very quickly. And the lights are very cool.

I love this kettle for making tea and coffee. Love the lights and auto-shut-off features. It boils the water super fast. The base doesn't get hot so it is safe for any surface. I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone.

The Mueller Ultra Kettle (Model No. M99S) is a fantastic purchase, deserving a full 5 out of 5 stars. The 1500W power with SpeedBoil technology heats water incredibly fast, making it perfect for quick tea or coffee. The design is sleek and modern, and the kettle feels sturdy and well-made.

The auto shut-off feature is a great safety addition, and the clear glass body with LED lights makes it easy to see how much water is inside. Overall, it’s an excellent electric kettle that does exactly what it promises, and I highly recommend it!
