Glass Electric Kettle | BPA Free with Borosilicate Glass & Stainless Steel - 1.8 Liter Rapid Boil Cordless Teapot with Automatic Shut Off - the Best Hot Water Heater for Tea, Coffee, Soup, and More!

I did the research and read all the reviews on a million of these kettles. I wanted a good quality kettle that also looks nice out in the open. I am always willing to pay more for better quality. I considered many more expensive brands but I finally settled on this one which is much less expensive then SO many others.So far, it's perfect. You can see in my photo that I keep it right out in the open in my office and it looks nice and it looks really cool when it's on as it lights up blue, very cool looking . It is tucked right in the corner on my cabinet. It's a simple switch to turn it on and it heats water very quickly. The wide opening makes it very easy to fill and easy to clean. The entire base does not heat up, so I am never worried about burning myself or anyone else when the kettle is not on the base, which is really nice. The one thing that I think would be nice is if the cord was a little bit longer, but it works perfectly fine for me as is and I don't think I would want a crazy long cord anyway... It's working perfectly as it is and where I have it. And for this you can't beat the price. You don't need to spend all of the extra money unless you want to pay for a name or a certain look for your kettle. This one is great. It's glass but I can also see traveling with this and just packing it really well so it doesn't crack. I am 100% happy with this product and I do recommend it to anyone.You can't control the temperature on this item but you don't really need to either so I give the temperature control five stars because it boils the water as it should, I don't need to know how hot it is, I don't really care. 🙂

Update March 2023. After daily use for 4 months, today we set the kettle onto its base and flipped the switch to heat roughly 1 liter of water. Something seemed off; the blue LEDs came on but no hissing sound after 30 seconds. After 60 seconds. Another 15 seconds go by and we start to hear the initial sounds of heating. I put my hand against the kettle bottom where the heating coils are: slightly warm.OK this was interesting, we decided to wait and let it do its thing. Almost 6 minutes in, the sound faded toward silence and the surface of the water began to jiggle. Eventually got to a rolling boil but nowhere near what it had done for the past 4 months. We let it boil to see if it would auto-shut off. It did not. 4 minutes of boiling did nothing to shut off the kettle. The boil never got as intense as earlier days.My guess is there must be at least 2 heating coils inside this thing, and 1 of them had burned out. It's now faster to boil water on our induction stovetop in a covered saucepan.Time for another kettle. Won't be buying this one.Original review:This is our 3rd such glass kettle. It comes with a potentially serious hazard. Whereas other kettle brands turn off the power switch when you lift the kettle off the base, this one does not. Power switch only goes off for 2 out of 3 reasons; you manually turn it off or it turns itself off when boiling water heats the glass enough to trigger a thermister in the handle.If you lift the kettle while it boils but don't manually turn off the switch, it remains on. When you then set the empty kettle back on its base, it immediately starts heating again. With no water in it, the heating element overheats very fast and destroys itself.Mindful people shouldn't have a problem seeing the blue lights come on and recognizing the problem."Mindful people" usually doesn't include children.

I have now owned this item for 3 years, and I am so pleased with it that I had to come in and write a review.Things I love about this product;1) Fill and forget- you do not have to monitor or wait for it to boil, the lever will pop when it is done. It boils the water so much faster than on a range, and it makes it easy to measure out what you want and will adjust depending on the volume of water you add.2) No plastic or BPA which were requirements for me. The blue lights are nice and will turn off when the water is done for a visual notification in addition to the pop-lever noise.3) If you have hard water sometimes calcium will build up and flake off on the bottom-inside of the kettle. I found a few table spoons of vinegar mixed with a cup of water... do a boil cycle, not only is all the build up removed, but the metal shines like the day I bought it EVERY time. AKA super easy to clean!4) 3 years later and it works just like the first day I bought it. So awesome that I am now going to gift one to my sister-in-law.5) Light-weight yet durable. I use this kettle every day (sometimes multiple times) except when I go on a trip. It works the same as day one.To the manufacturer- you have crafted a wonderful product and you have a new fan. Thank you.

We use this daily and it’s awesome.We’ve had it for about a year or so and love it.Functions well, lights up, and does the job.Definitely worth the investment if you’re on the fence.
