Product Description
The powerful 1500-Watt heating element is hidden beneath the stainless floor of the unit, so it's never in contact with water, eliminating build-up of mineral deposits on it and allowing for easy cleanup. The revolutionary cordless design allows the kettle to be lifted from its base for convenient filling and serving. Handsomely constructed of high-quality brushed stainless steel, the kettle ensures years of service. The automatic shut-off, double boil-dry safety shut-off and lid-lock features guarantee safe use UL listed.

 Massively convenient, a real time (and maybe life-) saver. March 6, 2005

My wife loves a good cup of tea and in the past, we just left the kettle on very low heat on the stove. The other night I came home to the smell of gas. The breeze had blown out the flame and my wife, who had a really bad cold, was upstairs and could not smell the gas.
Time to get something a bit safer while we still had a house! After some research, we ordered this electric kettle (to the joy of my wife's British friends who think we are barbarians for not having one.)
I was astounded at how fast this thing heats water, maybe 5 minutes for a mostly full pot from tap-cold to full rolling boil.
The automatic shut-off works perfectly (and has a small light so youneed not guess if it is off or on) and we no longer need to worry about errant gas fumes and whistling kettles.
The kettle is well-made, attractive and seems to be sturdy and definitely works a treat. Get one and you won't be dissappointed. Needs a three-prong outlet, so make sure you can use it first. Sides do get hot but the handle stays properly cool and the safety lid works very nicely with no drops or leaks that I have seen.
Nice design & great function February 1, 2005

In replacing our stovetop kettle with an electric one, I was looking for one to match the stainless steel & black appliances in our kitchen, and this one is great. This heats water much faster than the stovetop or microwave, and is pretty quiet in the process; the sides get a little hot during the heating, but the bottom stays cool enough to move straight to the table (sans trivet!) I don't know if the "scale screen" included will help any, but otherwise I think this a great purchase!
Easy to use for one cup or whole pot March 21, 2005

The carafe detaches from the heat base. The on-off switch is large, lighted and easy to find. The water heats faster than the stove or the microwave. I really like the auto-off feature -- no more burnt tea kettles.
Perfect tea at work! What a novel concept! November 10, 2005

I am a tea freak in a coffee drinking work world. Nuked water is not boiled, no matter how hot it is, and does not produce acceptable tea. I was given a Bodum electric kettle as a leaving present from my first job, and it lasted through two subsequent promotions. Once it gave up, I naturally bought another, but it died on me in a few months, and was replaced with another one, which did the same. I wanted something sturdier, and more reliable. This one has seen daily use since April, and hasn't let me down. The outer surface does get very hot, as other reviewers have stated, but the pluses far outweigh this one minus. I've been very well satisfied with it's performance and would recommend it to any tea-drinker.
Great electric teakettle !!! November 3, 2006

I bought this electric teapot to take on vacation with me to a bed & breakfast. I have used it exclusively ever since. I love it. It boils the water soo fast, it's amazing. I even use it to boil water for pasta etc. If it breaks I am definitely buying another. I love that it comes off the base for safer cleaning. Will only boil water though so don't put anything else in it (acording to instructions). A must have for my kitchen. A++++++++++++++++
