Love It!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been shopping for one of these electric kettles for a while, and this one just combined everything I needed, Price (very reasonable), the stainless steel looks, shape, and…

It’s not often that one finds a product that’s both visually attractive AND functionally satisfying. This kettle is one of those rare items: the shiny stainless steel body is beautiful to look at, and it boils water very very quickly! It features a nice big and sturdy handle which is very comfortable, and the spout is perfectly designed so that you’d have to be a real klutz to spill things. The cordless feature is wonderful, I tried a cheap ten dollar “Hot Pot” for a day or two and hated having to deal with the cord, plus that model doesn’t have automatic shutoff despite what it says on the box—huge fire hazard! There is also a power-indicator light and water-level indicator gauge which are both handy, and I like that there is no exposed heating element inside which would be a pain to clean. Instead it’s all smooth clean lines, inside and out!
Sure the outside of the kettle does get a little hot so you probably don’t want to have this within reach of toddlers or anything, but if your toddlers can get up on your kitchen countertop then you have a LOT of other problems as well! I appreciated not having to deal with how plastic inevitably gets dirty-looking and sometimes leaves a funny taste in the water.
My only slight concern is that the lid needs a little bit of force to shut completely…probably some kind of insulating seal that shortens the time needed to bring water to a boil, but makes me wonder how durable that part of this kettle is going to be. Oh well, will find out in a few months or (hopefully) years, I suppose!

Love It!
I bought this kettle several months ago and I just love it! Before I buy anything I always check the reviews.

Excellent for Coffee and Tea
I bought this to use along with a french press (Bodum 4-cup) and both are excellent. The just-after-boiled water is the ideal temperature for coffee, and much hotter than almost…

I needed a second kettle and didn’t want to shell out about $90+ for another Braun WK600 Stainless kettle (which I am happy with). So I bought this Aroma. Not as heavy, but more aesthetic, boils water fast and fully satisfactory. While I have had for less than a week, it’s performed very well.
One reviewer said that the “on” switch at the bottom of the pot broke. I noticed that it takes a very light touch to engage, so maybe if a heavy touch is used, this switch could break. Time will tell whether it’s a durable product but at this time I’m very happy with the kettle.

I bought this after I was so disappointed with a Breville one. The pot does get hot but I don’t have any children or pets to worry about. The boil time is very fast and there is no coil on the inside so I do not have to worry about the build-up or rust I have experienced with other kettles. The water tastes good and clean. For this price it is very affordable! I do have to admit that the pot seems a little cheaply made, but I didn’t expect much since it seems to be less than half the price of others of the same volume and style. I am very happy with this!!
Update (more than a month later): this is still working so quick and perfectly! I couldn’t be happier!

Love this hot water kettle. Nice design, works great, heats quickly. No issues here. Plus, can’t say enough about the great price.

Love it!
Couldn’t ask for anything more. I love the stainless steel (which is definitely worth the extra couple bucks over the plastic kind).

A Simple & Reasonable Solution
I needed a tea kettle for my new office. While my wife graciously let me borrow our Braun WK200B AquaExpress Electric Water Kettle, I wanted to see what other less expensive…

I love this kettle
I’ve been searching for an electric tea kettle and this one really fits the bill. I love the fact that the water heats up fast and shuts off after boiling.

I love this thing. Got one after traveling in N. Zealand where they use this kind of thing all the time.

Auto-off does not work – fire & burn hazard
Very disappointing, good reviews but this did not work for us. The Auto-off was broken and it just kept boiling.
