Amazon Basics Electric Stainless Steel Kettle for Tea and Coffee, BPA-Free, Fast Boiling, Auto Shut-Off, 1.8 Quarts, 1500W, Black and Silver

Works very well and looks good while being very affordable. The existing on/off switch is fine but I would like to see the on/off switch on the handle. Also a more substantial base would be nice but as it is, it’s a fine water kettle. Very fast !

This is the product anyone could use easily. If you want to have hot water on a daily basis then go for it it holds the heat for a more than 2 hours. It boils quickly and it is not changing the taste of the water which I should say. The stainless steel quality is good and would not have any break easily as it is strong even if you are using it with little care and it is easy to wash. Speaking about the auto shut off it will give a sound that would say to us that it is done and the length of the wire is small and if you are planning to use it in a small space go for this. The functionality is really good and it takes 8 minutes - 10 minutes to boil. When I boil it is the stove the vessel will be hot if the handle is not according but here if you are careful in holding this you can easily use it. But immediately after boiling it you can use it but if handled with care if not it is very safe to use after some time if you want to use it easily. Also when compare to the glass this is ok even if it falls down. It is a good option if you are looking something for an auto shut off

This kettle is amazing. It's fast and easy to use. I even use it to "pre-boil" water when making pasta. 1-minute boil in kettle, pour in pot and put on high. Cuts down on stove boiling time. Good purchase. Worth the price.

Love this little pot! Heats so fast, and stops when it's boiling hot. I use it all the time for making coffee (pour type) and teas of all kinds, and you can even use it for heating water for instant things like soup, or pastas, so they cook faster as the water is already hot. Just great little machine, and doesn't take a lot of room on the counter.

For the price this electric tea kettle is awesome. I got one for my daughter and one for me and we are both very happy with the purchase and quality of the pot considering the price. The water gets boiling quickly and the look is sleek. It is a little loud but I still like it and use it everyday.

I got used to having a hot water kettle for making tea during my extended travel in Asia. I had to get an electric kettle like I had at the Asian hotels I stayed at. I got this one on Amazon because the design caught my eye. I like the glass with metal accents and the larger capacity (but still small enough to stay on countertop). It does heat up pretty fast for making tea, coffee, hot chocolate or what have you. I love watching the blue light come on and the bubbles forming quickly when the water comes to a rapid boil. No issues so far. Only minor complaint is the minimum fill is about 2.5 cups of water. I wish it was less for one person's use (as I'm the only person using it most of the time).

This review is for Amazon Basics Electric Glass and Steel Hot Tea Water Kettle, 1.7-Liter, Black and Silver. I got this to replace a stainless steel Ascot electric kettle which worked wonderfully for about 3 years and before that an Ovente cordless glass kettle which also worked for 3 years. I know it was 3 years because I am diligent with recording all my purchases and they all seem to die by the 3 year mark. I’m not sure if this is planned obsolescence but this has been my personal experience. I thought about getting another Ascot again but it’s expensive and if I’m only going to get 3 years out of it, why spend any more than what I have to for an electric kettle? Don’t do what I did thinking a more expensive one will last any longer! I went with this one because my parents have it so I know it works and it works well for them. Why not go with something I know works? I like it a lot and it boils water pretty fast. I like electric kettles for the convenience of being able to boil water and walk away knowing it would turn off once ready. Gone are the days of waiting patiently for the whistling of the kettle so that I can shut off the stove! Who has time anymore? I only use filtered water to make my coffee and tea and I normally check the temperature of the water before I use it depending on whether I'm making tea or coffee. Some things that I've observed, and others have pointed out, is that the water boils at 7 minutes and 30 seconds for me with 1.7L (Max) of filtered Brita water (whether refrigerated or room temperature). Obviously, the less water, the quicker the kettle comes to a boil (3 minutes for 1.0L). The kettle will automatically shut off when it hits about 210-212°F (based on the 3-4 readings that I've taken). This is a little bit too hot for my coffee and tea so I usually wait a bit for it to cool down to between 195-205°F for coffee and between 160-180°F for my tea. There are kettles out there where one can set the desired temperatures, but for the price and quality of this kettle I think it's working out fine for me. I like the wide opening because it’s easy to fill and also easy to stick my hands inside to clean with a sponge. I couldn’t do this with my last kettle and that was so annoying! Pro Tip: In my experience, if the kettle doesn’t turn on or seems dead, descaling the pot will often restore it back to normal. This was the case with my Ascot where once I descaled it, it worked again for several more months. I had to do this 3-4 times during those 3 years before it died completely. Also, if it doesn’t turn on after cleaning, try spinning the kettle to different contact points on the base. This too was the case with my old kettles. I had to slowly spin the kettle on the base to get it to light up and run. Eventually this didn’t work either so here I am once again looking for a new kettle! Overall, I'm pleased with this Amazon Basics kettle. I like the size, quality, design, features, and boil speed. I would still recommend it and I give it a 5.0/5.0. - 06/15/2024.

I had this item close to a year, use it moderately, and it still works to this day. This boiler does its job well while showing a bright blue light on the bottom. When it finishes boiling the water, it does not have any negative after taste. When I am done using it, it is easy to clean to and store. Also, I would say it is a good gift especially for those who are not good with electronics. My grandma really liked it because it is easy for her to use, and for some reason the blue light attracts her to it.
