Last time I used it, I could tell the plastic was definitely burning. SAFETY HAZARD. Clearly, the thermostat or whatever it is that causes the heater to turn off does not work. I've had this product for a few months, maybe close to a year. It worked fine for that time but then I began to notice burning smells and now smoke. I have to throw the stupid thing away. Its one thing if a product doesn't last long--thats bad enough--but this product is clearly DANGEROUS.
It takes no time at all, about two minutes, to boil a full kettle of water and automatically shuts off after the water boils. I bought this kettle when I was moving into an apartment and assumed I would be stuck with an electric cook-top stove that would inevitably take 14 years to boil water, by which time I would have given up my quest for a comforting mug of tea in favor of something more convenient (like beer). This feature makes it so safe for absent-minded-professors-in-training like myself. (As it turns out, much to my delight, I ended up with a gas stove).I digress. The point is that I use my electric kettle every day, often more than once a day, to boil water for oatmeal, coffee, and tea, sometimes for cooking recipes, other times simply for jello.it doesn't matter. I highly recommend this product to anyone who drinks tea. Period.
This pot does exactly what it should do. Heat water to a boil and then turn itself off.I have had it three years and still love it.
it came with freaking strong smells of plastic, tried every way to remove it, but never made it.maybe you think you are much more lucky than me, but that was what i got.even from the tea brew by this kettle, you can taste the plastic ~~~ don't wanna recall that taste at all~~~throw away, don't even wanna waste time returning
Maybe I'll try another brand of kettle next. I used to have the same problem with coffee makers, but at least they were cheaper, so I guess I'll go back to them if I'm going to have to buy replacements every couple of months.
I decided to try a kettle rather than replacing coffee makers so often. I'm a coffee drinker, but use instant rather than brewing my own.
It worked fine for a few weeks, then stopped heating. When I received it, the plastic knobs to hold the filter in place had broken off.
I managed to get the lid to hold the filter when closed. The old percolators worked for years for me, but they are priced way out of my range these days.
Having to use the microwave every time I need hot water is too much aggravation.
