R.I.P. 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I bought this kettle in February 2006. I liked everything about it until its automatic ON-OFF switch died recently - only two months after the purchase. Now the kettle won't turn on. It wasn't abused in any way, and these kettles usually last for years and years. The last one of similar kind served me well for 12 years until it started to leak and was replaced with this spanking new Proctor Silex K4070.

I wonder if my bad experience with this kettle was unique? Has anyone else had one with a short-lived switch, or was I unlucky?

Do not immerse! 3 out of 5 stars.

Works well (and fast) but if you get the base element wet by immersing or even a few drops of water, the unit fails. Even wiping electrical connection with a damp (not wet)cloth ruins the machine. This aspect of design could be better. Fortunately, it's inexpensive to replace.

Great for any kind of hot water drinker! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I have had my hot water pot for about a year now and I love it! Being an avid tea and hot cocoa drinker I am always using it and probably end up refilling it about once every other day. I would recommend a larger size for families. I recently moved in with my boyfriends family and at first they were skeptical about using a hot water pot - they claimed to like the charm of heating a pot of water over the stove everytime they wanted hot cocoa but I set up my hot water pot and now they are addicted. The poor water kettle has been sitting on the stove collecting dust for a few months now! The only bad thing I can think of is that you get hard water stains in the water dispenser. I am not sure if there is any way to get around this since the nature of the pot is that it boils off chloride, etc. I just rinse it out once in a while without any chemicals and it works perfect still. Anyways, I highly recommend a hot water pot.

Editorial Review:

This small water dispenser is ideal for tea drinkers or anyone who needs hot-water handy. Like an electric kettle, it's user friendly; simply add drinking water and the unit automatically heats to a boiling point - and keeps it there. The electric hot water dispenser is perfect for your office desk, kitchen counter, or beside the bed when combating a cold!

Useless product 1 out of 5 stars.
14 of 16 people found this review helpful.

We chose this product based on the online descriptions of:the small size, the picture of the beautiful floral design, and the simple operation methods. It would've been perfect for my mother to use at the nursing home. However, after about a week or so of use, problems started to emerge to the point of being unsafe, and rendering the pot useless.

Two problems:

a)Twice during "Boil" the hot water started to shoot out with splattering from the spout in front and the vents on the back of the lid. Hot water was every where. Because the heated water came out so fast which was compound with the burning steam, we had to wait until the activity stopped before mopping up. It continued for several minutes. With the electric plug nearby, it was extremely unsafe and unnerving. The first time that it happened at the nursing home, the nurses became highly alarmed. They removed the pot from mother's room and reported the incident to us. We brought the pot home and tried it. The same behavior occurred again. This time we were prepared. We placed a 16 ounce-mug under the spout. The mug filled up. We estimated that approximately half of the pot content was lost through the spout and the vents.

b) During "normal" operations, the "Boil" mode is unnecessarily long. By the time it shuts off, we estimate about 6-8 onces of water is boiled away. Further, if the pot is not full, during "Reboil", the pot has a risk of drying out and creates additional safty concerns (we didn't try this out).

Please check it out, lest other customers suffer similar bad experiences.

Sincerely, Yen L. Phillips

Terrible product, manufacturer no better 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

When I first got this water pot, the inner wall had a spot of rust in it. Returned it to the manufacturer (shipping at MY COST) and got a replacement that had rust appearing after the first boil! Obviously a very inferior product although it looks like better known brands.

NOT RECOMMENDED unless you need more iron in your diet.

Not worth the money 1 out of 5 stars.
17 of 17 people found this review helpful.

I bought one of these on February 10th. It has a 60-day warranty. On April 8th it started leaking out of the seam above the heating element. I have only used it to heat water for tea, coffee, etc and never let it go dry.

The previous WestBend pots I have had (different models) lasted about a year and then had to be replaced, which meant that I was buying a new one each year (excessive).

But this latest model's new twist of a 60 day lifespan is too much. And to return it you have to mail it to WestBend, pay for the shipping and insurance -- which is half the cost of the item.

I guess it's a great racket, if you can sucker enough people into buying it.

My recommendation -- Don't waste your money!

I have had several West Bend Hot Pots over the years. Have tried other brands. They don't come close to the West Bend. It's quick and easy to use and they last a long time.

I bought my kettle over a year ago and love it. There have been no problems with bad odors or tastes. Currently purchasing a second one to have at work. I use mine at home 1 to 3 times a day. No complaint or regrets.

Nice Kettle but bad smell and taste 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I have used an electric kettle for 11 years with no problems. Bought this one and after following the directions to boil then dump the water and start again for several times I could not remove the smell and terrible taste of the plastic. As an avid tea drinker this was a big disappointment.

Good for the price 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Pros: cheep and works well.

CONS: Lid is hard to close, most of the time I do not close it at all. After water boils, it keeps boiling for some time, waste of energy. But neither is much of an inconvenience.

inexpensive, but poor quality 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

After several months of use, there is still a scent of hot plastic from it when used to heat water. I think it leeches into the water too, at least giving it a bit of a plastic odor.
The other problem I have with it is doesn't automatically switch off when you life the kettle from its cradle. This is a problem because if you empty the kettle and put it back on its cradle, you'll have a problem.
I would avoid this product. Pay a little more and get a metal one if you can.
