Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kalorik JK-20461 1100-Watt Silver Line 2-Quart Cordless Electric Tea Kettle
Customer Review: Hot water when you want it! High quality for a cheap price
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first electric kettle I've ever owned, and I'm completely happy with it. After looking at a whole bunch of other brands and models online, both on Amazon and other sites, I decided to go with this one because of the price and the great reviews other customers gave it. I've been using it every day for the past three weeks and this thing has been incredible. I have hot water in the morning for my tea almost instantly -- all I do is toss some water in there, flip the switch, and it's done in about two minutes. Granted, I don't heat a ton of water in the morning (I fill it to the Min line), but this is still faster than any stovetop kettle I've ever used.
The auto-off switch is phenomenal. I can flip the kettle on and go about fixing breakfast or grabbing the paper, knowing that I'm not going to start a fire in the corner of my kitchen if I forget about it or have to race over to the stove to stop some ear-piercing whistle scream at me first thing in the morning.
I use this all the time to help heat up water for cooking as well -- pasta, potatoes, veggies, whatever -- I heat up as much water in the kettle as I can (the rest in the pot on the stove) and just pour it in the pot once it's boiled. Tremendously faster than throwing a whole pot of water on the stove on its own.
The only drawback I've noticed so far is the latch you need to turn to open the top. It has a very low profile and isn't raised very much from the rest of the top of the lid. This makes it sort of difficult to get your fingers in there to turn it to open the lid, but I guess that's the point so you don't accidentally open it while it's full of hot water.
Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this kettle and would definitely recommend it to anyone who's in the market for one.
Customer Review: A Perfect Little Pot
Summary: 5 Stars
This little pot boils a large amount (2 litres) of water in just a couple of minutes. The cordless base makes it so much safer and easier to pour when it's ready, the twist open lid helps you to avoid dumping the whole pot on yourself and I like the auto shut off so there is no chance of boiling it dry or starting a fire. The only small criticism I have is that the twist open lid seems a bit cheezy - like it might not last as long as the rest of the pot does. I will update my review if that turns out to be the case. Also, you should be aware that the heating element is exposed in the bottom of the pot so don't get this one if you expect to boil anything other than water as you will coat the element with it. Otherwise this pot is exactly what I wanted/expected.Customer Review: Just Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for some of the features found in the more expensive models, detachable base, large capacity, the only negative point on this model is the exposed coil. It heats rather quickly, has a clear gauged indicator so you know how much water is left. For the price it is the best you will findCustomer Review: Good quality kettle
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used this for over a year now. It's still in good condition. It has the automatic-off function that the kettle stops when the water boils which is very useful.Customer Review: Stopped using my teapot - This thing rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
We use this product every day. Performs as expected and is fast. Too early to tell how long it will continue to perform. For now, we are very pleased.
