Smart Temp Electric Kettle: 1.7L Capacity, 5 Precise Temperature Settings, Digital Display, Cool-Touch Exterior, Cordless Design for Tea and Coffee Lovers

I have used it everyday multiple times since Mar 2020, its been 5 years and it still works as new I like the Piano black with large display and its easy to use and view big temprature settings. I love that it heats up a full kettle to 212 pretty quickly ( Under a min) The water is in a stainless steel container and at no time comes in touch with plastic which I appreciate . Green tea 175 is a great preset Its practical, sturdy, quick to heat, long life, large capacity to others ... highly recommended

I recently got the KRUPS 1.5L Electric Kettle, Cool Touch, and so far I’m really happy with it. The leakage is perfectly fine — no drips or leaks around the spout or base, even when the kettle is full. The safety features are excellent: the outer surface stays cool while boiling, and the auto shut-off works perfectly, which makes it feel very safe to use. When it comes to taste, the stainless steel interior keeps the water clean — no plastic smell or strange aftertaste at all. The kettle heats up quickly and efficiently — 1.5 L boils in just a few minutes. The overall kettle quality feels solid and premium — sturdy handle, smooth lid, and a well-balanced design. And the colour is beautiful! Sleek, modern, and fits perfectly into my kitchen style. Overall, this kettle combines safety, speed, and elegant design. I’m really pleased with my purchase and definitely recommend it!

We use this kettle every single day, and it continues to work extraordinarily well. If you are looking for a kettle, that’s got accurate temperature, a clear read out, good capacity, and durability, this is for you.

When hubby tore apart my old electric tea kettle because the on switch ceased to function for the last time, I began the search for a replacement. I had no idea that the search would take me down a path of such complexity. I learned far more about the art and science of boiling water than I ever thought necessary. I learned about tea requiring multiple temperatures at which to steep, coffee temperature requirements, containers that could handle larger volumes of water, metal vs plastic parts, rusting, measurement indicators, spout shapes and angles causing drip, speed of flow, lid angles for ease of filling, UIs for the kettles and/or their bases, etc. I just wanted to boil water without drinking rust and not have the switch break every year. Yes, I use my kettle upwards of 5 times a day. Many reviews and YouTube videos later, I came to the conclusion that there is no perfect electric kettle for all uses. The more complex the kettle, the higher the price tag, and the more possible failure points it has. The simplest kettles were often made out of the cheapest materials and less reliable. While I was reluctant to spend $20 on another kettle that I would throw away in a year (the disposable nature of everything nowadays irks me), I did not feel the need to spend over $100 on a container TO BOIL WATER. This Krups kettle seemed like a happy medium, and it has, so far, proven to be a good buy. And I am enjoying the fancy features. Pros: Cool to the touch. Large container. Cord for base is longer than you think it is (look under!!). Sleek look. Easy to wipe down if water streaks down the side. Metal filter is part of the kettle, no need to remove pieces. Love that I can one touch boil or boil and hold the temperature for half an hour. Selecting temperature has proven to be useful. Boils quickly. I boil a full pot of water in the same time it takes to boil a small amount of water in my 3 qt pot on the stove. I pour the boiled water into the now hot pot and pasta can go in immediately, so it speeds up cooking dramatically. The spout is pretty good. Still drips down the side occasionally, but not a lot. The thermometer on the side is… satisfying, as my kids would say. Cons: you press it once to wake it up. Then press a second time to actually start heating. This drives hubby a little batty because he feels like maybe he isn’t pressing the button correctly. I don’t have a problem with it. The lid does emit a strange plasticky smell on the outside. I’ve had it for several weeks now and still get an occasional whiff. It has definitely decreased, however. In addition, if you smell inside the pot if you lift the lid, the inside does NOT have the smell. The water is just fine. Since the container is rather large, even Gigi might have trouble pouring from it without a single drip. But it does well enough, and certainly better than my old kettle. The button to open the lid occasionally fails to open, but I think I just need to figure out the exact pressure to apply. Longevity remains to be seen. Given that a $20-30 kettle lasts about a year to 18 months, I’m hoping I can get at least 3 years out of this one. If not, you will be hearing from me…

absolutely love this kettle, and not just cuz it looks cool! The handle is actually comfortable! The popular cork handles of othe models make my jacked up shoulder worse, but not this kettle! The pouring action is very smooth, and easy on my arm. The heating action is FAST, easily the fastest working kettle I've ever owned. It's so easy to use right out of the box, the buttons and functions are very intuitive, I could tell what to do just by looking at the display, before I'd even opened the instructions. (Which I *did* read, but apparently didn't need to.) It's also the quietest kettle over ever owned I really didn't realize how loud my old kettle was till I heard this one going. It's whisper quiet in comparison!! My only room to kvetch is I wish it held more water, but I don't actually *need* bigger, the capacity on this one is perfectly fine. I'm very pleased with this kettle!

I was hopeful that this KRUPS kettle would be good and would last longer than any of the other half dozen I have purchased in the last decade. I'm convinced none are manufactured these days to last more than a year or two. If you're lucky. Upon receiving it, I immediately filled it to learn its features and to see how it worked. I was immediately disappointed (and a bit angry) to see that the handle was secured to the inside of the kettle by a large black piece of hard plastic. Yes, this plastic piece is above the waterline, however, the steam from heated water wets the plastic, and that moisture drips back down. Not good. That alone was a deal killer for me. I do NOT want any plastic inside a kettle that heats water. I would NOT have purchased the kettle had they shown the plastic inside of the otherwise stainless steel interior, or mentioned it in their description. I continued with the testing of the features. After several attempts at heating the water to 212 F degrees, the water never heated above 208 F degrees. It looked like it was boiling, but it never reached the 212-F point although the base indicated it had reached boiling point. I have an instant-read Thermoworks Thermapen and I have never had a reason to suspect it is not accurate. The next problem was with the 'stay-warm' setting. The kettle doesn't maintain the temperature automatically as stated in the manual. You have to play around with the button, and even then, I discovered the water temperature kept decreasing. It stayed at 205-F for a while (the manual states that is the highest degree it will stay warm at), but after a few minutes, the temperature began to decrease. There is nothing "easy-to-use" about this digital kettle's base or the instructions on how to set the stay-warm feature. It is difficult to see if the stay-warm light is on or not, or what it means when it is 'blinking.' I found both the base and the manual's instructions confusing and I'm not a luddite when it comes to electronics. When you lift the kettle off the base and then return it, you have to press the stay-warm feature again and hope it works (it didn't). But if it did, you'd still have to remember to push that button every time you lift to pour and return the kettle to the base. The black metal of the kettle is pleasing and the kettle is a good size -- a full liter. The base is shiny plastic which will easily scratch and show those scratches. Plus it doesn't match the kettle's matte finish. Odd decision there. The gooseneck spout is well-positioned and pours smoothly at a good speed. However, it took me less than an hour of testing to decide to return this kettle. I cannot recommend it.

KRUPS 1.5L Electric Kettle, Cool Touch Stainless Steel Interior Like all good tools this item does its job quickly, efficiently, and doesn't get in the way. For years, I had an insulated plastic kettle that performed well. When a crack appeared I went looking for a replacement. I made the mistake of getting a cheap (and trashy) kettle that seriously got in my way. It was not insulated and the outside temp when boiling water was over 180 F. --- hot enough to burn your hand. The pour was sloppy (splashed all over) and the lid was cheaply haphazard at best. So I condemned it, and it's now interred in a landfill where it belongs. Immediately I went searching for a replacement. This Krups unit is insulated. When water is boiling inside, the outside temp is 108 F. so you can touch it without injury. It seems reasonably fast although there isn't a lot of difference among these units --- 1500 watts is the general standard, and that's the deciding factor, beyond the variable of the amount of water being heated. When filled to the MAX line I timed it to boil in five minutes thirty seconds. Roughly enough water for a cup of tea boiled in about two minutes. This item has a smaller capacity than most. It's rated 1.5 liter, and most are typically 1.7 or 1.8 liter. That's fine for me, but you may need the greater capacity. Being smaller, it also seems less intrusive on the counter. Also, it feels lighter than the glass models. One excellent feature is a longer-than-average power cord. It's three feet, and it can be cleverly shortened by winding up part of it in the bottom of the base. That can make for a neat installation on the countertop. The only shortcoming I see is a lack of a measuring scale. The only marking is a maximum fill line. The documentation mentions a minimum fill line, but there is none. This introduces a bit of guesswork, but if that's the worst thing, then we'll be getting along for a good while. The one I have is black, and it looks good, if looks matter! One ergonomic note --- do not hold the handle at the top while pouring as steam may hit your hand, ouch!

Product has functioned great since 2020 (it’s now 2025) - water is very fast to boil. The only issue is that the top latch sometimes had trouble latching and the top cover has become loose. We looked at trying to see if the warranty would cover the top cover, which it will not. The unit on Amazon has gone up in price since 2020 when the unit was under $50. Updated: Lowered to 3 stars after receiving a no action response from customer service about the broken hinge. The more I thought about it, a plastic hinge isn’t going to last. So, I’m confident this product is designed to fail - with Krups attention to detail it’s difficult to think otherwise. It’s bothersome that this product will go to the landfill because of poorly designed component.
