Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Jura-Capresso H2O Plus Glass Water Kettles
Customer Review: Loved it while it lasted
Summary: 3 Stars
I had this kettle for about a year. I never had any of the oft-mentioned problems of chemical smells or tastes. Boils water quickly, easy enough to use, I cleaned the dome inside occasionally with vinegar to keep it shiny and clean. No complaints really until this morning when it suddenly stopped working. Fine yesterday, nothing today. I had the kettle for just over a year, maybe a year and a week, and am debating whether to buy this one again or another. I feel like it should've lasted longer than a year but loved it while it worked.Customer Review: Some good, some bad
Summary: 3 Stars
I have mixed emotions about this product. The design is certainly very attractive. The exterior is flawless, although I was disappointed that the polished crome/silver matte parts are actually plastic. It heats water faster than kettles I've used in the past. I experienced none of the "foul/chemical smell" reported by other reviewers. On the downside, mine suddenly stopped working after only 1 month of use. This is a big hassle and unacceptable for a product in this price range.Customer Review: Short lifespan
Summary: 3 Stars
Beautiful kettle. We bought the first one 2 or 3 years ago, and returned it after a few months due to recall (handle fallling off risk). The second one stopped heating after perhaps a year or so, and my husband was able to repair it, but it conked again after a couple of months, so I don't suppose we'll bother with it again. No problems with bad taste or smell, but perhaps that's because it was an older unit.Customer Review: quiet, pretty, quick, odorous
Summary: 3 Stars
I love it except the odor of new-machine; the tea water tastes like the odor. I first thought it was newness & would wear off, but I'm having doubts. I wonder if the silicone seal around the heating element cover produces the new-machiney taste.Customer Review: Nice concept with a smell of plastic
Summary: 2 Stars
What a nice idea - a glass kettle, the one you can see through boiling. Nice design as well. Main problem is that the heating element is surrounded by a plastic ring, which produce quite a noticeable smell of plastic when boiling water. We used it for a weak hoping that the smell will go away, but it didn't. Many kettles has plastic parts, but this seems to be the only one where plastic directly contacts heating element, not just water. And of course, bad stuff goes from plastic to your water along with the smell, but this is only for those who are concerned about health. My point is that this smell just ruins taste of all kinds of tea.
Also, two minor things
- it takes about 2 times longer to boil that other comparable kettles (still fast, actually)
- nice an stylish blue light, which indicates that the kettle is on is not as visible as in other models.
