Product Description |
|
Housed in a smooth, modern-looking design, this 1000-watt electric kettle rapidly boils up to 1 quart of water for coffee, tea, instant soups, and more. The unit features a detachable cord and a nonspill spout for graceful serving, plus a generous handle with a secure grip. Its immersed heating element provides a rapid and quiet heating process, making it ideal for the office, home, or college dorm. Dual water-level indicators allow for convenient filling, and the unit's easy-open lid is designed with a security lock to prevent spilling. And there's no need to worry about leaving it on, the kettle automatically shuts off when the water boils, and its boil-dry protection keeps the unit from boiling when there's no water left |

We bought three of it! |
|
We've bought three of the same product. One for home, one for my husband's office, and one for my school dorm. And I think it a good gift for single friend. It does the job well and I cannot think of anything to complain. |

You get what you pay for |
|
It's probably better if you don't use it everyday, but in the winter I am drinking tea almost everyday. It works fine, but eventually you will see that the metal from the coil starts to wear off and the plastic starts to melt. Also not very easy to clean. |

Highly recommended |
We bought one of these for our large office kitchen. It's worked beautifully and has seen a lot of use. A product that can withstand multiple users is a recommended product in my book. We have had various products to heat water over the years and they all wore out or broke in a year or so. One appliance we tried had the heating element inside the carafe and gave the water a burned plastic taste. The Proctor Electric Kettle is over 2 years and works like new.
My only complaint (and why it didn't get five stars) is how the lid opens - I have problems with that since it doesn't tilt all the way open to make adding water as easy as possible. But it opens wide enough to fit under the faucet. The unit sits nicely on its base. I like that the cord isn't attached to the carafe itself - that's a positive safety and style feature.
There are pricier models of electric kettles that look more elegant that may have more bells and whistles, but for the price, this one is well worth the money.

Plastic smell won't go away! |
Even after the kettle is cooled down, the smell of melted plastic remains.
I was looking for an electric kettle to boil water for coffee and tea. Want to be more energy efficient, so thought this would help save electricity, rather than putting on the stove just for a cup of hot water.
It didn't even occur to me when I was looking at this kettle, that it would be a problem, being made of plastic. Silly me! I bought this on the 4 stars and high recommendations in this thread. It was a Big Mistake. The kettle is plastic with an exposed heating unit in the bottom. Each time it heats, the plastic must leach into the water, if I can smell it permeating the kitchen! This may be a worse health issue than Teflon being cooked into every dish made with a Teflon-coated pan! This is the same thing, 'lon' means being made out of a petroleum product, heating and eating plastic whether in a Teflon pan or in this plastic water-boiler.
Is drinking daily doses of liquified plastic healthy?
Is breathing in plastic gases every morning healthy?
Don't know what to do with it. I'd give it away but I don't think anyone should use be drinking a cup of petroleum and chemical additives every day.
And to Proctor-Silex: Eating our daily bread is necessary to sustain life. Food and nutrition is the first way to health. I hope you can make a kettle like this but out of safe materials. We need healthy, safe appliances to use daily in our homes.
Thanks. |
