Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef's Choice 678 Cordless Electric Kettle
Customer Review: Great So Far
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
