PerfecTemp 1.7-Liter Electric Kettle, Cordless Electric Tea Kettle, 1500W for Fast Heat-Up, 6 Preset Temperatures, 30-Minute Keep Warm, Stay Cool Nonslip Handle, CPK-17P1

This is an exceptional Kettle. I have owned this exact model for a long time, it lasted around 17 years, which is WAAAY longer than the warranty. It hasn't changed pretty much at all during that time. I ordered a new one and it's identical and the only difference I can notice is that the newer model is significantly quieter when heating water. I use the boiling, 180F, and rarely 160F settings, but I like that it has a few other settings. The old one gave out as the hinge started jamming. I was using it heavily for years; I drink a ton of tea. I also used to take it to events so it's been packed up and thrown in all sorts of bags. The electronics on it worked fine and it still worked fine as a kettle, it was just hard to open the lid, like I'd have to pry it open. It's probably fixable but I don't know how to fix it. I was happy to buy another one of these. I am always happy to buy a high-quality product. At $100, this is well worth the price. I think the normal price nowadays is $130-150 but I think it's still worth it. You get what you pay for. My only quibble is that the labels on the temperature buttons are silly. I usually brew oolong and white tea with boiling water, not the temps listed on the buttons.

As a tea lover I take a electric kettle seriously, and this one delivered. I have had this kettle for about two months and I’m so glad I invested in this one. I know that kettles are an easy place to save money but I have been let down every time by cheaper kettles. The water capacity of this kettle is perfect, it heats really quickly, and the quality is evident. As someone who is noise sensitive, the beep is not annoying. It’s just loud enough the grab my attention from the other room. Also as someone who is very taste sensitive, especially to metallic tastes, this kettle leaves no residual metallic tastes or smells. This was a huge make or break for me between a glass or metal electric kettle as I can’t even tolerate my tea in a metal thermos. This kettle was an amazing buy. So happy with it, and would recommend 100% to any friends looking for a beautiful, functional, high quality kettle. Great value!

UPDATE: October 30, 2017 Well, almost exactly 5 years to the day I bought it, my Cuisinart electric tea kettle finally bit the dust. In the last couple of months, it seems to have been catching water in the base area, and then when I'd pour hot water into a mug, some water would leak out the bottom of the pitcher from the seam where the base meets the sidewall. I wasn't sure if it was from boiling over because I filled it too high, or if something had cracked on the inside where I couldn't see. Finally today, when I tried to get it to operate, it warmed slightly but then shut itself off and wouldn't boil the water. I am assuming that this is a protection mechanism probably to help me avoid a fire. Regardless, I was very happy with this product, I used it multiple times each day when I was home, and I enjoyed the multiple temperature options. I would periodically use a sharpie marker to indicate the temp gauges on the handle for guests who might use it because the printing had long ago worn off from simple use. UPDATE: December 2014 I have been using this tea kettle for two years, several times (5?) each day, practically every day. It's shows no sign of burning out, and it still looks great. The printing has worn away from almost all of the buttons, but as I use this so often, I have all the temperature settings memorized. However, I can see that being something worth fixing going forward. (= ******************* ORIGINAL REVIEW: As of this writing (June 2013), I have been using this tea kettle for 7 months, every day, several times a day, save for a few weeks away here and there. I drink tea all day long, and I work from home. I was a tad leery before making this purchase because some people had complained about the tea kettle burning out. Thus far, I have not had this issue at all. I LOVE that I can set the relevant temperature for the tea I want to brew. Mostly I brew black teas in the morning, but I then switch to milder ones as the day turns later. It didn't take long for the "boil" (hottest) button to become illegible, which is about the only "bad" thing I have to say about this product. I'm not sure how I could have prevented the printing from wearing away from the most-used buttons, other than using some kind of plastic glove, but other than that, I am extremely pleased with this product. I was initially intrigued about the "warm" button, which promised to keep the water at the proper temp for 30 minutes, which means that it will start heating it up again all by itself. I didn't actually like that, and so I now never have that function selected. I sometimes take longer than 30 minutes to drink a large cup, and when I go back, it's quick enough to simply reheat the water again anyway, so instead of wearing out the heating element, I'd rather just do that manually myself. It's easy to clean, it looks sleek, I love the illuminated buttons, and it's a lot nicer than the several basic versions of electronic tea kettles I'd had in the past in Germany. I will never go back to a traditional tea pot on the stove. These are so much faster to heat up, and now with the precise temperature controls, it almost seems barbaric to think back to when I used one!

I have had this kettle for over a year. It is very high quality product and is designed for effortless use. It heats water quickly to desired temperature, is easy to handle as it is cordless, has an easy to fill/pour spout. This kettle wipes clean with just a dry cloth and continues to look brand new despite daily use. There is NO leakage, as I have experienced with other kettles. I expect this kettle will last years as has my Cuisinart coffee pot. The Cuisinart Brand is unbeatable.

Muy buen producto. Ya llevo un rato usándolo y no he tenido ningún problema. La tetera ajusta muy bien la temperatura y el cuello de cisne evita derrames e incrementa la precisión a la hora de servir el agua caliente.

it is an absolute waste of money. not suitable for indian voltage , the converter recommended by the seller was for a lower voltage & the coil was damaged. Had to throw the kettle. entire money gone down the drain.

I did not care about the hefty price. Ordered while mail strike was on. It is beautiful and it was a work anniversary present. It works great and is similar to the last visionary kettle I had (Which I used to death). It was hard to do the warranty for this though.

Great looking kettle with enough flexibility to keep the most discerning customer happy and a 3 year warranty - what more can you ask for?

What I really like is the colors, but the best thing is the sound at the end letting me know it's done heating the water. Recommend it
