Question: How long is the cord on the base?
Document: I've wanted a tea kettle for a long time but never found one like this before. I like that it comes off the base for pouring without having the cord in the way and it has such a wonderful handle, makes it easy to pour. The best part is the quickness of heating the water. I use it almost every day and can recommend it to everyone who is looking for a great tea kettle.
I absolutely love my kettle. I use it all day long! I love that the cord is connected to the base and not the kettle itself, so it can be easily moved. I work from home and it had been a hassle for me to go downstairs, wait for water to boil and so on so I could bring it to my office upstairs. This makes it so much easier! Plus, it is really quick! Less [but still a bit] importantly, the kettle is really nice looking!
I bought this in October 2009 since then I'm using it everyday and it never let me down. It only takes a few mins at the most to boil the max amount of water. Steady handle to hold, and the rid still clicks and close nice and tight. Diameter of the base is about 15.5 cm and height including the base is about 25 cm to the top of the rid. Length of the cord is not so long but enough to use on kitchen counter which measures about 70 cm.
As long as you don't need a very wide opening at the top, this thing is virtually impossible to find a flaw in. Perhaps the cord could be longer. Perhaps the sides could NOT get scorching hot when it's in use. Perhaps I could fly to the moon on the back of my dog. None of those things would REALLY make this better - it does it's job, it does it very well, and it looks mighty fine doing it.
I've had two of the these in the last two years. On the plus side, this is an inexpensive and fairly attractive appliance and the plug-in base is easier to connect than a separate cord.
The quality is reasonable, especially for the cost. Within a couple of minutes, boiling water is available. The unit separates from its base, so there's no cord to deal with while pouring.Overall, it's no-frills and excellent for what it does.
Pleased with this kettle! Heats water very quickly. Appreciate being able to remove the kettle from the base for pouring. Appealing design and seems to be well made. Thoughts of how to improve - increase length of cord a foot or so, and fashion so other liquids can be heated in the kettle.
The excess cord wraps underneath the interior/underside of the base so it's out of the way and out of site. Perfect for the far corner of a counter. I would say 'go for it' unless your kitchen is open to the living room simply due to the noise it makes. It's a good kettle for the $.
The only issues I have with this kettle are that calcium builds up in the bottom. Most of it is caught by the strainer at the spout. Another issue is that the strainer is easy to knock into the kettle if bumped and is a little tricky to re-insert. Other than that, I like that the kettle has a base with a cord for ease of refilling-no need to unplug, and that it turns off automatically.
This is a perfect tea kettle...boils water quickly and then keeps it hot for 2 hours. The design of the heating element and base is ingenius making it very easy to pour your water unencumbered by the cord. It gets used at my work boiling an average of 4 pots of water per day 5 days a week. This is a real winner!
