disappointing
this kettle has/had a lot of potential. it's a nice, simple design and i really liked the red colour.
unfortunately, as another review described, i received one that looked used. there were some water stains inside and a bit of a dent on the exterior.
i was expecting a new product so i returned it.
i got another one because i liked everything else about it, but the second one came and right away, i noticed the bottom part separating slightly from the upper metal body. i figured a little glue coming off might be alright, and i wanted to avoid returning a second time. so i used it, for about two weeks, maybe, and then steam started coming out from under switch, and there was a slight burning smell. quickly shut it off. returned.
if only it would've functioned decently, would've loved to have kept it.
with my experience, not sure if it's the seller stocking second-rate merchandise, or the quality of this brand/kettle itself.
Stylish, quality product
I purchased this product for my girlfriend for Christmas. I wasn't sure what to expect since this kettle was less expensive than some alternatives and didn't have any reviews at the time I purchased it. This is a rare instance where a product has exceeded my expectations (so far). My girlfriend has had it for about 2 weeks and loves it. The finish is eye-catching but not overdone. I can't comment on the durability of the finish at this point. The design is well thought-out - I've seen some electric kettles that didn't make much sense from an ergonomic standpoint. It sits on a base that plugs into the wall - but the kettle is portable and easily removed from the base. It brings water to a boil in about 1-3 minutes, depending on the volume in the kettle. When the on-switch is thrown, a fairly intense blue indicator light shows that it's heating - I like this feature. My girlfriend is very pleased... and therefore, I am very pleased. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars...
on/off switch doesn't work
The on and off switch is badly designed. It doesn't stay on. you have to hold the switch down to boil water.I returned mine
