5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value for the Money
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2007
I moved from an apartment that had a gas range to one with an electric range. When I wanted to boil water, the element had to heat up before the water could heat up. Wastes a lot of time and probably electricity. Same for the microwave. I wasn't sure if an electric kettle was the answer, so I chose this small, inexpensive one. It's really terrific!

Since I only use single servings of boiled water, I was concerned about having to have a minimum amount and wasting water. It turns out the minimum water level is about 1-3/4 cups. A perfect amount for tea, soups, etc., with maybe a little left over. It boils the minimum water within 2 minutes, a full pot in about 5 minutes, depending on the temperature of the water you start with. Mine from the fridge.

If I had one complaint it would be the length of the cord. It's very short, and I'm guessing this is to discourage you from filling and pouring with the kettle plugged in (you're not supposed to do that). I agree with what some other people have said about a magnetic connection in the power cord, but what do you really want for eleven bucks? There are kettles with them, you just have to pay for it. You would never expect one at this price point.

As for other complaints listed in these reviews, I'll address them: it does smell the first few times you use it. But those first few times are supposed to! That's why the instructions tell you to boil two or three kettles full of water and rinse it out several times after. After that, while you can still smell plastic if you stick you nose in it, it doesn't leach into the smell or taste of the water.

Another poor review said the water was yellow. That was either a defective kettle, or the person couldn't tell that it was the light reflecting off the beige plastic inside making the water inside look yellow. The water actually is not colored. And for the people who say they need to boil their water to kill all myriad of bacteria, then an electric kettle with shut-off safety features was just not a good choice. It's not a bad product.

ONE CAVEAT! Do not rely on the pre-printed markings for measurement. They are way off. Otherwise, I'm pleased with my kettle and I'm hoping it lasts a long time. For the price, it's more than worth it.

UPDATE 12/22/09 -- Just thought I'd add that now, almost three years later, my kettle is still working and I still think it was a great purchase.

UPDATE 8/8/11 -- Still working, still loving it!

These are perfect for hair stylist that use hot water! I am a braider and I use it to dip the ends of braids. I use to use a pot to boil water, that takes too much time and I would need a cup to pour the water in. With this the water boils in seconds literally and I dip the braids right into it! Perfect! Convenient, mess free, quality, hot water in seconds
