Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kalorik JK-20461 1100-Watt Silver Line 2-Quart Cordless Electric Tea Kettle
Customer Review: Wish Cord Was Longer, but No Complaints!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you haven't gotten an electric kettle, you'll probably wonder how you ever lived without one once you do. It heats water so fast, so easy, and you don't have to worry about microwaving and burning yourself. Not all electric kettles are the same though, and some of the less expensive ones will burn up. The most important part is to find one that is fully cordless from the carafe part and that has the auto-shut off feature. One of the most frequent problems with electric kettles is that they will burn up by heating when there's no water on it.
This kettle doesn't have that problem since it has the auto-off on it, so that even though it might heat the water, it won't burn up if it happens to be empty.
The only thing I wish was different was that it had a longer cord, so I could have more choice over where to put it on the cabinets. If you're electric outlets are not easily accessible from your counter less than a foot away from where you put the kettle, the cord will likely be too short to use.
Other than that, I don't know what I ever did without this and I even got my daughter one for Christmas!
Customer Review: Good for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this pot about 6 months and have been pleased with its performance so far. I'm ashamed to admit I probably only use it twice a week, but it's very convenient when I need it. It heats water very fast and stays quiet, and can really speed up boiling water for pasta or other dishes to be later cooked on the stove. The lid seems somewhat cheap, but for the price I can't really complain -- most lesser-capacity 1 3/4 quart pots are more than twice the price! Note that the item description is WRONG: this pot holds 2 liters or about 68 fluid ounces, not 55 as stated.Customer Review: Good Kettle for 19.99 but I don't know about 32.99
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this recently for 19.99 from Amazon (directly) and went back to get another for my parents and it looks like they don't sell it directly anymore (i.e., free shipping)! The "twist off" lid other reviewers have talked about is not really a big deal, actually it is a safety feature and I like it. . .it "was" a great deal for the price I paid but alas, it looks like no longer. The color is more of an off-white rather than bright white, so better than I expected.Customer Review: It is simply hot water
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a basic, straight-forward, easy to use electric kettle. It doesn't have the higher quality feel of a Braun or Breville, but for the inexpensive cost & free shipping it can't be beat. This has the older style cordless base (rectangular fitting under the handle instead of the center round fitting in the middle of the newer kettles).Customer Review: Yes the lid...
Summary: 3 Stars
The lid is too heavy for the tiny and fragile joint, which is connecting it to the body of the kettle. I just got it new, I will have to handle carefully with it... let's see after few months of using..
