Fast, convenient and economical

Sat, 28 Mar 2009 16:31:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author philmck - The best thing about this kettle is it boils really fast - because you're only heating as much as you need, and it has a powerful heating element. By the time you have fetched a mug, tea/coffee, teaspoon and milk, it is almost ready. [Disclaimer - I'm in...

The Aroma of Hot Tea Wafts Quickly Through the Air Accompanied by Lots of Steam

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:59:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author quasar - The first time I saw the Aroma Cordless Electric Kettle I thought I'd entered a time warp and was looking at my grandmother's old coffee perculator. It's an upright metal kettle with a fairly wide circular base and a really clunky, old-fashioned...

Presto 2703 Electric Kettle: Great kettle, but only for 2 yrs

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:23:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sfrey - This is a great kettle because it is small, and heats up water faster than other kettles I've seen. It will hold enough water for maybe 3 cups. The only drawback is that I've had mine for 2 yrs and it recently started leaking and rusting on the bottom...

Nice design

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wmtimm627 - I bought this unit to make tea. I then discovered that it is excellent for making intant soups that just require you to add hot water. I wish the top was a little bigger so I could cook eggs in it. Alas, I'll have to purchase a different model to allow...

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:23:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flatcat2000 - My search for a clear glass water kettle started after seeing one in Australia, and loving it.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daquan - WHAT'S THE 411 ON THIS PRODUCT?I used to have to boil water on the stove in a small or medium-size pot and it would seem like forever and a day for the water to boil! I was always told that a watched pot never boils. And that is seemingly...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author k67058 - I bought this to replace a 20+ year old Russell Hobbs that finally gave up. The design is nice with a large lid that easily allows filling and cleaning.However upon use, the flimsy plastic lid does not lock down and when in operation flexes...

Worked great....for about 6 months

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:29:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chickpea02 - As others have complained, the connection to the base stopped working after only 6 months. It is impossible to reach their customer service department. Mostly I liked this model - cordless, but it was difficult to clean inside and the spout pours out...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dslev - We recently received this product as a gift and at first I was resistant because of the electric cord and base but after trying it once I can tell why we like it so much. I make coffee one cup at a time with a paper filter, coffee grinder and...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author beme - This kettle is marvelous. I just returned a Cuisinart one that never worked well and stopped working after about 3 months with a lid that smelled like old tires. This one is the right weight for someone with arthritis. It heats very quickly and the...

Leaks from Underneath

Fri, 1 Aug 2008 19:58:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author zshipley - I, too, have experienced water dripping from the kettle while pouring. It appears that the kettle is leaking from the “works” underneath, not over the rim. The design of the kettle is such that there are parts that penetrate the walls of the water...

Same as the others - poor performance

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 23:19:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author davey6693 - I was quite surprised to read the previous reviews, because I found it hard to believe that my 90 dollar kettle that has just broken down after 18 months was not a one-off defect, but a fundamental design flaw. I bought this kettle last Christmas and...
