An ok kettle but not the graal for a plastic contact free.
A quick impression after a few uses of this new kettle.
As a kettle this one is ok. It's not so pretty with a big and bulky plastic basis but it does the job it's asked for. Heating is fast enough and it's nice to see it through the glass. The handle is far enough from the glass that you won't feel the heat so another good point there. The kettle works fine and turn off by itself when the water is boiling.
I used to possess a Tefal 1.7L vitesse kettle and was quite happy with it despite the power button that had a tendency to turn off by itself. I was going to buy a new one when I read a commentary about the possible danger of heating water in plastic. Since it made sense to me I've been looking for a kettle that would prevent plastic contact with water and as many of you know it's a lot harder that it should be.
This kettle is supposed to be the answer to that, I think it's not perfect.
To answer a question in another review, the kettle is made in...
Doesn't turn off
I love the look of the kettle and that it is made of glass and was in the market for a new electric tea kettle. It boiled the water well but it does not turn off automatically. I returned the first and ordered a second one and it does not turn off automatically. I think it is too risky to have a product that heats up enough to make water boil and that does not turn off. The box, the directions and the advertisements say it will turn off automatically when the water boils and it does not.
Works, yes, but rusting after only a few months use
This kettle works fine (I haven't had any problem with automatic shut-off as did another reviewer here) but after only 3 months use, several small rust spots have appeared on the metal heating plate. I am meticulous about making sure I don't leave water sitting in the kettle--I empty it and set it open to dry after each use. This is not a high-quality product built to last; I'd recommend checking out another brand.
