Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster 5965 1-1/2-Liter Electric Water Kettle, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: This guy likes it a lot!
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this as a Christmas gift two years ago and have been very happy with it. Before this, I used the microwave often to nuke some water, instant soups, bouillon cubes, heat oatmeal...this has replaced all that. Also when I want maybe 1 or 2 cups of really good coffee, I use the pour-over method and have a little bit of luxury in a cup in minutes. I have found that it pours very nicely, much better than my Pyrex measuring cup or my Mr. Coffee carafe. The handle is thick, solid and stays cool and feels good ergonomically.
It takes me roughly 5 minutes to bring 1.5 liters of water to a full rolling boil. Then it automatically shuts off. It doesn't beep or anything but I can hear it click when it turns off. The power cord is thick and well made and could handle some abuse without worries. If you keep this plugged in next to an outlet, you can store any extra cord in its base.
If I were to somehow break this one, I'd go right out and buy another. Its brushed stainless steel body and black handle is not an eyesore sitting on my counter. If people can get past the fact that you can't stick your hand down inside and that it gets hot and produces steam, they might find that this does it's job well and looks good doing it. By the way, don't worry about any plastic leeching into your water. The inside is stainless steel without any kind of liner so don't let an other review mislead you.
I would like to state that I used to have those circa 1970s kitchen faucets that were really low which made it difficult to fill this due to it's height. I have finally gotten around to replacing it so I can now easily fill up the kettle without any hassle(and I can properly scrub my pots as well)--thought I'd mention that just in case anyone still has those disco era faucets.
To sum everything up. It boils water. It boils it quickly. It gets hot. It produces steam. Thankfully.
