Chefman Electric Kettle with Temperature Control, 5 Presets LED Indicator Lights, Removable Tea Infuser, Glass Tea Kettle & Hot Water Boiler, 360° Swivel Base, BPA Free, Stainless Steel, 1.8 Liters

The media could not be loaded. So I had a basic Cousianart electric kettle that worked for about 5yrs and then started leaking form the bottom. When replacing it I really paid attention to reviews. This kettle had some of the better reviews and had some functions my old kettle did not have. After trying it out for while I gotta say it is a good replacement.It heats up rather rapidly and the temperature settings are nice. The base lights up with a color so even in the dark you tell what temp your water will heat too. There is a small filter at the pour spout which is nice from filtering tes leaves or lime scale. Cleaning it is too. The kettle, without water, is light weight and will beat when placed back on the base to ensure a proper seating on the base. Water heat up fast making this a time saver. The craftsmanship of the kettle has a very modern look to it so nice quality to hang out on your counter and not be an eye sore.

I bought mine a year ago and it still works perfectly. Heats up quickly, not loud, auto shut off is great, the light works good, and tastes great too.

works great, heats up fast, looks nice in the kitchen. great quality.

Overall, these electric kettles are great. They are inexpensive, heat fast, look great, and are fairly reliable. I had a previous model that lasted nearly 10 years before the sensor gave out suddenly. The one key difference is this - the previous Chefman electric kettle I had would automatically shut off after bringing the water to a boil despite the temperature not reaching 212F/100C. I live at 6,800 feet / 2,000m in Colorado, and water boils at around 204F degrees here. This model does not shut off when the water boils at a temp lower than the textbook boiling point of water at sea level. So whereas before, I could press the button and walk away, and come back in a few minutes ready to brew my tea, now I have to hang around.Furthermore, the old model had more choices for temperature settings (as low as 105F) and after I brewed my tea I could set it at a lower temp to keep it warm. This model only has settings for 175, 185, 195, 200, and 212F.

I bought this for my wife as she is an avid tea drinker. It is very intuitive, offers varying heat settings and achieves the desired temperature surprisingly fast! I would definitely recommend!

I scoured the pages looking for just the right kettle for my family.My husband just wanted anything to heat up water - no problem.I had a hard time cleaning our last kettle, so I wanted to be able to easily wash it. Since the lid comes completely off and the opening is large, this works perfectly.And my daughter loves making different teas, not wanting a true boil, so being able to set this for exactly what temp she wants is great! And with the diffuser, she can make tea with loose leaves as well. Each temperature also lights up with its own color, so you have color verification that you set it correctly.This is a great kettle!

Cute little kettle and awesome price. Boils within couple minutes. Good size for my elderly mom. She always uses stove and forgets about it. She’s 82. With auto shut off this will fix the problem and no more worries about stove been on or fire.

I got this kettle to replace a much more expensive one that kept failing. I wanted on with the electronics in the kettle itself so that sensors etc. would not be affected by corrosion of the contacts on the bottom of the kettle to the base.I will have to say this kettle feels pretty cheap. As others have commented the infuser is held in by three little tabs and I'm sure they will break off in the future since they are subject to the stress of holding the infuser and the thermal stress in the kettle.Upon unboxing the instructions said to run a MAX load of water through the kettle for a complete boiling cycle. I did this and it worked perfectly. Now it was time for some tea.I have been bringing my tea to a boil and let this kettle run it's default cycle which is to boil and stop as soon as it reaches boiling. It foamed up and spilled a good deal of tea all over the counter. I was making several batches (I make up 4 gallon jugs each week) so I reduced the amount of water in the next one to prevent boil over. No such luck, although it did spill less tea.Third batch I'm down to 1/2 and the infuser is mostly above the water. Still boiled over. The last batch I'm getting close to the minimum level and it STILL boiled over.So for this weeks batch I decided to run the next lower cycle, which is to get it to 200 degrees F and shut down. This worked and I will continue to use it this way as I can put more water in it to further saturate the infuser.Plus: It heats fairly quickly. The controls are intuitive to use, and the ring of LEDs under the base of the glass pot change color to confirm your selection of heat cycle. The opening is large enough to easily get my large hands inside for cleaning. The only contacts in the bottom of the kettle to the base are for 110 volt connections.Minus: The kettle feels like it's price, kind of cheaply made. The base is so light I expect it to lift with the kettle. And I have mentioned the infuser.I don't know why it boiled over with the tea inside. I don't live at a high altitude, 900 feet, so that shouldn't be the cause. But if you can live with a 200 degree F cycle or lower this kettle should do the job and that's all I can ask of any appliance especially these days.
