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

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!

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.

So far the item was shipped and received quickly and well packed. It is wonderful so far heats up fast, nice appearance and hope it keeps working a long time.

It's hard to talk up this kettle too much, but I'll try to be succinct and non-hyperbolic anyway. TL:DR the temp control releases fewer bitter compounds saving the flavor of many teas in a way that brewing time often can't. If you've done ANY research into brewing tea, you'll have come across the almost universally agreed upon conclusion that different teas brew best in different temperature ranges (times as well, also there can be debate on the actual best range for a given tea, but the general point still stands). So, having a kettle that can just heat water to a given temp (roughly, I'll hit that point later), rather than just boil then wait for it to cool enough, is a game changer, especially if it's reliably consistent. This is where this kettle shines. When I bought it, I heated water to the 6 different temp presets indicated and then tested it in the kettle with a thermometer right when it finished, and the results were generally within +/- 3 degrees F depending on where I stuck the probe. I consider this to be a reasonable result for a kitchen appliance (it's not lab equipment after all) and the variance is small enough that most settings don't have any overlap (the difference between the 185 and 190 setting may be a bit too fine but the averages are relatively on point). It is important to note that when you pour the water into whatever cup you're using, you can almost instantly lose 10 degrees. This can be mitigated a bit by warming up the cup, or you can just heat the water 10 degrees hotter than the recommended brewing temp of the tea for all temps below boiling. This makes such a difference! Even with relatively unrefined major grocery chain offerings of black, green, oolong and Darjeeling (I generally drink Twinings and yes, I know Darjeeling is technically classified as a black tea), I've found that proper brewing temps are far more vital than brewing times for controlling the dreaded bitterness of overbrewed tea. I find oolong, green and Darjeeling virtually undrinkable steeped in boiling water even if I only brew them for 2 minutes (I never do less than two because I don't like to just drink slightly colored water when I'm making tea). But bringing those temps down allows you to not only steep them longer to allow more flavor to come out but the lower temps release fewer of those bitter tannin compounds. Plus, with the "Keep Warm" option, you can set the kettle to heat up while you're taking a shower knowing that, whenever you eventually get out and are ready to finally pour out the water, it'll be within a few degrees of where you set it as long as there's still enough water left to keep the heating element from overheating. Now you'll have to experiment with the teas you prefer to drink as while the suggestions underneath the temp presets are a good starting point, I've diverged from a number of them based on my taste preferences. But at least with this kettle you have the option. My only mild nit-pick was with the scale screen. When installed, I found it made it difficult to pour all of the water out of the kettle so a little bit would remain standing in it, which I didn't like. And the small lip around the top makes it impossible to pour the remaining little bit out from the top. Removing the screen was very easy, though, and leaves only a small threaded rod sticking out of the inside of the pour spout that's never caused me trouble. And as long as you don't let ridiculous amounts of scale build up in your kettle (which is very easy to clean with boiling one or two passes of 50/50 vinegar/water solution even without scrubbing), the purpose of the screen in rendered irrelevant anyway. Removing the screen allows all of the water to pour out easily and completely, which is great if you're usually heating single cups of water at a time (the minimum volume is .5 liters, which is a bit more than a standard 12-16 oz cup). So, if you've read this far, all I can say is buy this kettle. And, once you get it, if you want to perform a personally verified experiment, get some Twinings Green tea at Walmart then brew a cup from boiling for 2 1/2 minutes then a cup at 185 for 2 1/2 minutes. The difference is night and day. Happy brewing!

5 Stars for usability; 3 Stars for design of safety function. We got this Kettle since we are making our own pour-over coffee lately. We picked the kettle because of its 1L capacity, which fits our 4 cup morning requirement. The settings, the quality of the pot, and how it keeps the water at set temperature we really like and appreciate. It has safety features too - like checking for over-temperature… and here is where the problem appears, operationally. It looks like if the kettle goes over temperature, the power control flashes, and a warning message. It doesn’t appear you can turn this off. The first time, we unplugged the device, plugged it back in, and set our desired temperature again (a nice thing: it remembers your last temp setting from day to day). The second time this happened - it was after the final pour of the remaining water we use for coffee, and after we’d turned the device off and it was off for a minute or so. Frustrated, I took the kettle off the base, waited, only to find the power lockout, and warning message. I then poured a little cold water in the kettle - the warning ceased, and the power light went off. It seems for safety, they warn of over-temperature even after shutting down. That’s reasonable, given the electronic (not mechanical) controls. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen, so be aware of this (we set 205F for pour-over coffee). The kettle, construction, and use we like a lot. This is a minor annoyance, once you understand what it is trying to protect against. That it comes on some time after powering off can be confusing - but we get it. Edit after long time using: We’ve come to this pattern of use, which seems to work: When (after) we make the last pour out of the kettle, we now do this, and have not seen a “over temperature” alert since: - turn off the base immediately after replacing empty kettle - take the lid off kettle Apparently the evaporation at the end cools it, and also leaves the insides dry (a nice shiny dry). We replace the lid after everything has dried (say, after we’ve finished our coffee).

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

The stainless is very modern and the kettle pours very well
