Cuisinart Cordless Automatic Electric Kettle KUA-17 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I was looking for an electric kettle to boil water for tea that had the heating element hidden from the water. I bought this one because of my experience with other Cuisinart products. They are a little pricey but worth it for the quality. This kettle is large and boils a lot of water so the kettle is a bit heavier than smaller kettles and noise is created by boiling the water. When the kettle shuts off I found the water is boiled to the perfect temperature for tea. I am very happy with the product.Cuisinart KUA-17 1-3/4-Quart Cordless Automatic Electric Kettle

Nice 4 out of 5 stars.

I bought one of these teapots about 5 years ago. I like it so well that I've now bought a second one for work. I'd have given it 5 stars, except that I find the lid to be a bit tight. It's fine on my original pot, but hard to get off of the second one. I called customer service at Cuisinart. I was told to return it to where I bought it or to buy another lid. I didn't find either option to be very good. IMO, they should have replaced the lid.

Great So Far 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

If you have not tried an electric kettle, then I'd urge you to get one. They are a great addition to the kitchen.

This is the second electric kettle that we have owned. The first one was a Cuisinart, which died early. It had a more stylish design, but did not last. We loved having an electric kettle, but we were looking for a more reliable product. We purchased the Chef's Choice based on the Amazon reviews. It has been seven months so far, and we are very happy with this product.

First, it looks great, which is somewhat important as it sits out on your kitchen counter all of the time. It is on the large size, but if you have the counter space then that is an advantage because you can quickly boil a lot of water, if needed. We keep our unit plugged in and ready to go. We use it several times each day. We have not had a problem.

Second, we have not had any of the issues that others complain about (at least not yet). We do not think the unit is unusually loud. In fact, it would be nice to have an option to turn on an alarm so that you know when the water has reached a boil. You can tell if you are in the same room with the kettle, but often I am running around the house trying to do 10 things at once and I forget that I turned the kettle on. It turns off automatically and the water stays good and hot for awhile so this isn't a huge problem. We have not had trouble seeing the water monitor. I glance at the water monitor and when the water appears on the lower side I usually I pick the kettle up to see whether I need or want to add water to it based on whether I am making a cup of tea, a pot of tea, or boiling a bunch of water to add to a pot on the stove. I decide just based on the weight. It holds a lot of water so we are not constantly refilling. We have not had trouble with leaking or pouring. The unit appears to be well made. I did not get the impression that the on/off button was flimsy. Like I said, we use the kettle all of the time and everything works as it should. The unit still looks and performs as it did when it was new.

Bottom line: the unit does what it should do and is reliable and convenient to use.

Editorial Review:

Advanced design: concealed heating element I never in contact with the water, so there's no build - up of objectionable mineral deposits on it. Handsomely crafted: kettle body all brushed stainless steel construction. Cordless kettle lifts from corded base for easy filling, pouring and serving. 1500 watts of power: boils water faster than stove or microwave oven. Large capacity: over 2 quarts (1.9 liters) capacity. Automatically shuts off when water boils. Boil-dry shutoff protection. Convenient push button lid opening. Illuminated on-off switch. Cord stores neatly in base: adjusts to desired length. Cool touch bottom.

Switch died 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Good while it worked, but that was only for about 5 months. The 'on' switch started flickering from time to time, and now it doesn't work at all.
That's why I'm here online... shopping for a replacement!

Great for home & travel! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Bought this for travel to have in hotel. Light weight, easy to pack. Works fast and does exactly what it says. Boils water in minutes. Have continued to use it at home for tea. The top cover is easy to remove and only boiled water 2x before first use, never having any plastic smell at all. Like that using it rather than microwave. Have only had for 3 weeks, but no problems at all. A rating.

Editorial Review:

This handy electric kettle from Bodum is designed to have a permanent place at the kitchen counter using a minimum of space. Made of a heat-reinforced polypropylene plastic and a stainless steel heating element, it is an indispensable and practical everyday tool for cooking - and certainly when a fast boil is needed. The Bodum water kettle will automatically cut off power after the water boils a short while. No more dry boils!

Great as a fryer 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Bought this guy to replace a fryer that cost more than twice the price and this one is easier to use and does a better job than the other one I had (and gave away). I'm looking forward to using it for other things now that the cooler weather is on its way. It also cleans up very easily.

Excellent 5 out of 5 stars.

This product makes me so excited I can hardly get to sleep at night.

Frying was our goal, and the basket makes it easy and safe. It heats up fast, and is a steal for about $25 at Wal-Mart. When comparing to other products, the Presto Kitchen Kettle gives you more volume for your dollar.

One feature of the product (both good and bad), is the weak magnet in the power cord. It breaks away with almost no force if you trip over the cord, or whatnot. However, it makes setup slightly more difficult, as the cord breaks away (or falls off) fairly easily.

Good but there are better choices 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

We ordererd the Chefs Choice 685 because of its looks and reviews, but returned it due to three reasons (a) very flashy silver color, we prefer a matte look (b) cover does not fit smoothly, especially when pulling out and spills water on the kettle surface when removed (c) very light and not rugged. Apparently one of the earlier comments might be true that Chinese made models are not as well made as German made. We ended up buying the Breville

Editorial Review:

This cordless Electric Teakettle is both handy and attractive. To use, simply fill with water and place on the heating base. Plug base into outlet and turn on the switch; in just minutes, you'll have boiling water for your tea. To make pouring easier, the pot lifts completely off the base and can be carried to your dining room or living room as a convenient and attractive serving piece. The teakettle's heating element is located in the base and never comes in direct contact with the water, preventing mineral deposit build up. The dimensions of the teakettle are 9.5"W x 7.75"D x 8"H.

An upgrade for me 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

My old Zojirushi water boiler conked out after 8 years of regular use, so I ordered the CD-WBC30. Features have gotten better in 8 years: the LCD display shows the temperature, and I have 4 thermostat settings instead of two. I used to have to choose between 208 degrees (too hot) and 140 degrees (too cold). I can now also select 195 degrees and 175 degrees. The 175 degree setting is just fine for instant coffee and oatmeal. I've used this boiler for two months without problems.

The Zojirushi 5 out of 5 stars.

I found out about this product while visiting San Francisco, I was unable to purchase one in my area unless I got one on line. It is wonderful, not just for tea but for instant oatmeals, soups, cocoa, rice, noodles, and so many more things. I made a believer out of my whole family, who originally said, "Why would you buy that?" They know now. For a busy family it's a great thing to have.

Editorial Review:

An electric dispensing pot is a kitchen appliance that keeps water at a constant hot temperature for hot drinks and other culinary uses. Simply fill the pot with water and plug it in. It boils the water to 212??F and keeps it at a set temperature all day.

3 1/2 stars-- Does a great job, but missing bells and whistles. 3 out of 5 stars.
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.

The UtiliTEA is an excellent electric tea kettle-- it's comes in two parts, the base and the kettle. The base plugs in, the kettle rests on top of it. Fill it with (up to four cups) of water, fit the kettle on the base, set the dial to the desired temperature, flip the switch and moments later, you've got hot water when the switch pops back up. I've used mine endlessly since I've gotten it.

A few gripes though, the UtiliTEA's temperature gauge is color coded rather than providing any kind of numeric indication and the manual. It's easy to use, but if you needed precision (and I don't), you won't be able to get it. More irritating is no real audible indication that it's done-- the lever clicks, but there's no whistle, bell or anything else you'll notice in the other room. Good news is, it's really fast, even to bring water to a boil. A final thing I dislike-- there's no "off" switch on the base and they recommend pulling the power cord between uses. I'm not certain whether it's unsafe to leave it plugged in, but I keep pulling the plug after every use which is quite honestly annoying. Mind you, I'm a new homeowner, I'm a little paranoid about such things.

I realize my criticism is pretty harsh-- the UtiliTEA does its core competencies fantastically, and I've used this exclusively as my water heating solution, but while it's an excellent device, any potential buyer should be aware of its limitations.

Editorial Review:

Green tea lovers no longer have to struggle to achieve the optimal steeping temperature, while darker tea drinkers can still expect impeccably boiling water. With an innovative temperature control system, this versatile device can heat to your preference. At last, an all-inclusive kettle for heating water for the perfect pot of tea. This durable stainless steel kettle is a must-have for tea lovers of all kinds. Variable temperature dial ideally suited for preparing green and white teas.

Warning to all who want a non-plastic-y kettle 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Hi,

If you are like me and is considering purchasing this product so you don't boil water in any sort of plastic container, then beware:

Though this kettle is entirely stainless steel on the inside as well as the outside, there are two little holes on the inside, near the handle, where the water goes through for the water indicator. Unfortunately, these two holes are insulated (waterproofed) with some sort of rubber/soft plastic substance, and the water indicator itself is made out of plastic rather than glass.

Besides that, this kettle does its job very well and I think most of the other reviews already pointed out the goodness and flaws of it.

Long time tea drinker 3 out of 5 stars.

I got the Model 677 about 2 months ago as a replacement for a similar item received as a gift several years ago. This kettle makes hot water just fine - very happy with that part. It is also the right size, and capacity. The issue with it is the lid. There is no reason to have an attached button actuated lid. That one feature obstructs cleaning the inside, and provides opportunity for breakage. Breakage either due to mechanical failure or accident seems almost certain. The "old" kettle had a removable lid -- perfect! I strongly recommend Chef Choice produce this with a removable lid, with the same size opening as the model 677, or larger. The other problem with the lid is that my wife cannot hold the pot under the faucet because of a shoulder / arm problem. She must sit it down fill it, then lift with both hands. The lid does not open far enough to do this. It would have to open at least 90 degrees, and that would be a problem for many sinks. So the simple and correct solution is removable lid! One last item, as others have noted in their reviews, the level indicator is hard to read. It easy to read on the old model (Toastess I believe it was).

more or less junk 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I feel like a company that doesn't put an on/off switch on an electric appliance with heating elements might have some issues. It's also not the most ergonomic configuration-- it's very easy to spill water when it's full, and the only place you can fill it is through the spout... hm. I guess it makes tea, though. Probably not worth what I paid for it.

I ordered this to replace a whistling West Bend electric kettle. (you can't find the ones that whistle in the U.) It does it's job but the capacity is less than the West Bend, it's slower to heat and the whistle is weak. For the price I would go with the West Bend.

Great Item 5 out of 5 stars.

This is the second one I have had. The first one was getting kind of dingy looking (taking it to work break room), still works great. I bought 2 since my daughter (who also loves it) was getting married and moving out and she needed one. They are so handy for heating water for recipes, tea, hot cocoa, soups, etc. WE LOVE IT!

Love my new Hot Shot. I've had one for the last 10 years. So when my old one got a little rickety, I bought another. I like the sleek new look, and it works just as well as the old model. Only thing I question is the start button at the top of the unit, which you have to push hard to turn on. It just feels a little cheesy. I'll let you know how long it lasts.
