| Featuring an ergonomic handle and smooth lines, Braun's 1,500-watt electric water kettle handily sits on a separate heating element. When water boils--one cup takes only 70 seconds--it's a relief to pick up the kettle and pour without worrying about the plug dragging behind. Once the kettle is removed from the base, it automatically turns off for safety. This good-sized kettle heats up to six cups of water, making it ideal for small meetings at the office or to quickly heat up water (and water only, please) at home. It has an anti-calcification filter to help keep the water tasting clear and clean. --Dana Van Nest |
| ... and it is almost perfect. It heats quickly. The sides stay cool. It doesn't dribble unless you overfill it. The thermostat turns it on and off correctly after probably a thousand uses.
The only problem is with the gauge on each side that shows how full the kettle is. It has slowly become darker and clouded on the inside so now it is unreadable and I can only tell how much water is in the kettle by judging the weight. Other than this one flaw, it is an excellent product that lasts and lasts. I bought this for my mother after fearing she would set the house on fire with her conventional teapot. She loves it. My old electric water kettle from Walmart worked fine until one day it just didn't. I saw this one, and figured it would be better - I was right! I use it at work to make tea since nearly everyone else drinks coffee. It doesn't take up much room on my desk, and heats the water quickly. I love that the kettle detaches from the base so you're not dragging the cord around, and it cuts itself off. It also hold 7 cups of water, so you don't have to keep refilling it. It's exactly what I needed. |
