Perfect for My 100 Year Old Mother
This is a near perfect device for my mother who is 100 years old and whose eyesight is poor. She is able to pour water into the teakettle, press the lever, and water is boiling soon for her tea. No danger of the water boiling over, no electric cords to tangle or trip over. A terrific product for her and many others, old and young. Rating:

Electric Teapot review
The teapot works well, as designed. My comments:
I bought the pot for my elderly Mother because she was boiling water in sauce pans and kept burning them up. I was afraid she would set the kitchen on fire. I had it sent to me to see if it was what I had imagined.
First of all, it is too big and heavy for an elderly person to handle. I had tried to find one for for only two to four cups of water but could not.
Next, the switch is located so that it can be bumped on or kept on if carelessy set on a small object. It would be better in the handle.
The lid does not open completely so it is hard to fill. Why hot fill it through the spout and do away with the lid altogether? Also, it does not close when the tumb switch is released and has to be pushed down by the other hand. Why not make it easier to close.
When the pot is picked up, the base hangs on to it and then drops on the counter. The post should be relaced by a flat surface.
The water level window is hard to see. Why not put it in a more conspicuous place?
This pot is bulkier than others of the same capacity. It takes up too much room in a retired person's little kitchen. A smaller footprint would be appreciated.
I don't see that the metal adds anything, only volume and weight. Maybe a smaller, more compact plastic envelope would be better.

Convenient, quick, pure taste.
I have had a number of hot-water on-demand products plumbed into my sink, hoping to make a quick cup of fresh coffee in the morning using a french press and fresh ground coffee beans. However, they all added a plastic taste to the water, that contaminated the pure taste of my morning brew. Really noticable!
I used one of these electric kettles recently in Ireland, and was impressed how fast it heated the full pot of water. And the taste was as pure as out of the faucet. It's simple: just fill it up, place it on its base, push down the lever and within a few short minutes I have a pot of perfectly heated water. When I returned home, I quickly purchased one for myself and have loved it ever since.
I picked this particular kettle because of the reputation of the Chef's Choice brand. Indeed, it's solidly made, ultra-simple to use, and very convenient. It's a winner! Rating:

Nicer pot than Bodum Ibis but not quite as fast
I replaced a one year old defective Bodum Ibis with this one because I was disappointed in the short life of the Bodum. This unit fits on the base very well, much better than the Bodum. It's nicer looking. The Bodum is a bit faster, heating 1.5L in about 5 1/2 minutes, where the Chef's choice takes about 7 minutes. Also the Chef's Choice is a bit louder. I'd choose this one over the Bodum at this point. Hopefully it will last for a few years. Rating:

Chef's Choice 677 Cordless Electric 1-3/4-Quart Teakettle by amazon
excellent.. boils in about 8 minutes..wash inside with wash cloth for about 4 miutes to rid the steel odor... then it's fine to use! no more odor,...bit heavy but boiling from steel container beats boiling from plastic ones, .. just not comfortable with boiling water day after day in a plastic thing, not healthy?!!.. thanks amazon !!.. hope it lasts .. usually from past experience these electric kettles don't last long.. but chef's choice might last long, i hope. |
