Amazon Basics Electric Stainless Steel Kettle for Tea and Coffee, BPA-Free, Fast Boiling, Auto Shut-Off, 1.7 Liter, 1500W, Black and Silver

I turned my Toyota 4Runner into a solo camping vehicle. Sometimes I want to make coffee or re-hydrate a Mountain House de-hydrated camping meal. In order to do this, I need boiling water. This Amazon Basics kettle it simple to use and works great. After an initial cleaning, I put about 1 liter of water in and set it on the cooking stand. I then pushed down the "start" lever. The blue light lit up and it began to heat the water. I use a Bluetti AC180 power system in my 4Runner. The kettle pulled about 1440 watts on average during the heating process. After a several minutes, the water began to rapid boil. About 10 seconds after the rapid boil began, the unit clicked off all by itself! The water poured smoothly from the kettles spout. I like the glass kettle since it lets me see the water inside (I want to make sure it really gets to a rapid boil). And the stainless steel is a nice touch. It is however slightly larger then I had anticipated. Not a big deal, I just thought I would mention it. Overall, it is a very well designed kettle that looks good and works great. Especially for the small price I paid!

Love. Does what is should. Heat up water very fast. Pours nicely. Large steady base. Auto off once it boils. Now I have to get one for work because I want this for my kitchen now.

Very happy with this purchase. It heats up 2 cups of tap water to a rolling boil in about 4 minutes, 4 cups in about 7 minutes. Hot tap water makes it even faster. It is faster at heating water than my large high wattage Panasonic microwave. I have used it for making jello (knox blox), stove top stuffing out of the box, and instant mashed potatoes pouches. I don't drink tea, but I assume this would make a tea drinker very happy. I use iy several times a week. Great features: Quiet, the lid opens easily with a button, but you can pour with the lid closed. No leaks, it automatically stops heating at a rolling boil. Compact heating base, easy on button, it lights up when it is on, it is very light weight. It has a good build quality. Only wish: I wish it was marked in English standard measurement, but this was simple metric conversion. 2 cups is about a 1/2 liter, 4 is close to 1 liter. Make water heater per pot is 1.7L. My review is based on purchasing this on own. I would buy it again for someone else. I am impressed.

I had this for 3 years but dropped it recently when it was empty (thankfully) and it damaged the top so it does pop open now without force and is difficult to close. It worked great while I have had it boiling in a timely manner, never overflowing or any problems. I am replacing it with the smaller version of it because I have both (the other is at work) and this taller one is much louder when it first starts heating though it does quiet down when coming up to a boil, than the smaller one. I literally have to turn the volume up on my TV when this is on. That is my only complaint and otherwise recommend it since it has a larger capacity & never gave me any problems.

Great kettle! Boils water fast, has a nice design, and a comfortable handle. We use it every day and everything works perfectly.

This kettle is - dare I say it - life changing! For my family of 6, I purchased the large glass carafe model. We have had this kettle for a year now and it’s still going strong even with daily use. Multiple times each day, typically. I love the auto shutoff; the ‘click’ that sounds is audible enough to alert you that the kettle has finished boiling. I appreciate the blue light that illuminates the kettle so the kids know it’s hot/heating. The release button for the lid is easy to push, great for my arthritis. The handle is comfortable and balanced, easy for both myself and my four kids ages 15, 14, 11, and 10 to lift off the base and pour. Water tastes and smells clean, even though we use tap water, which in our area is a bit hard. We rinse the scale out of the kettle regularly and occasionally give it a gentle scrub with a vinegar and water solution to get rid of any stubborn scale. Cleans up easily. The kettle boils really fast; I would estimate within 3 - 5 minutes. It’s great to have hot water nearly ‘on demand’ for cooking. I use it to quickly heat water for pasta, vegetables, and steaming. I have an electric range and I can put a pot on, turn on the burner, and then pour in a kettle of already boiling water, saving both time and energy consumption that it would take my range to heat the water from cold. We’re big tea drinkers - both my kids and I use it often for that purpose. Hot cocoa, cider packets, instant coffee, etc. - hot beverages are a snap. My kiddos use it to shortcut cooking for teriyaki noodle trays - using boiling water cuts down the microwaving time a few minutes. Noodle cups and instant oatmeal or grits packets are a no-brainer. With boiling water, they even have ‘hacked’ an easy way to make those cheap ramen soup packets - just pop the noodle brick in a bowl with the seasoning, pour over the boiling water, put a plate on top to catch the steam, and let it set for 3 minutes. Easy peasy! We love this kettle and can’t imagine living without one now. I don’t know what we were doing before; well, I do - and I realize putting a kettle of water on the stove isn’t actually a chore. However, the time savings and convenience are well worth the affordable price. Get this kettle! You’ll be happy you did.

Our family likes this electric kettle so much, we purchased a second one for an apartment. It build water very quickly, about 4 minutes to boil 1.25L. The automatic shutoff once it boils is nice, and unlike other models, clicks off the minute you lift it from the base, which is a nice safety feature. It is a bit noisy when it gets going, but all in all, really nice pot. The only caveat is you can't fully empty it. About a tablespoon remains in the pot, but if you shake it out, the heat from it evaporates what is left.

I bought this to heat water at my office. It’s small enough to stay out of the way but works quite well and beats water quickly.

Great kettle at a great price. Clean esthetics, blue LED is a nice touch. Heats up much quicker then my old kettle. Screen over spout for any particles which my last kettle didn't have.

Excelente, la compré con descuento. Calienta el agua muy rápido, se apaga sola, llegó bien empaquetada y en tiempo.

Very happy with my new kettle! Looks great ,and works very well and fast . It's also the perfect size.Great value for the money!

Crazy pleased with this new inexpensive purchase. Light weight. Boils fast, and thoroughly. Max fill (1 litre) fills my French press exactly. 1/4 full does one cup of tea. Something about the fully transparent pot is SO much better than peering at a little slit water line. And you can SEE if it's actually clean or scaly. It is just loud enough for me to hear it turn off from the other room, which I want. Being glass, it might not keep the water hot very long after it turns off, but I always make it right away anyway - so no down side. I will always buy glass going forward - and this unit again, if it lasts.

A comparación de otras teteras eléctricas que he comprado, esta se siente bastante robusta y su funcionamiento se siente también muy seguro. Para que no haya ambigüedad, estoy hablando de la jarra eléctrica de vidrio Amazon Basics de 1.7 litros. Calienta el agua con bastante rapidez y se apaga sola en cuanto el agua comienza a hervir. El vidrio es grueso. El mango se mantiene frío, de manera que se puede manejar muy bien. Por el momento, estoy muy satisfecho con el producto. Veremos si es duradero, por que el tema que ha sido reincidente con todas las teteras eléctricas de diversas marcas que he comprado es que se descomponen entre tres y seis meses. Esta parece estar construida con una mayor calidad, entonces tengo la expectativa que dura cuando menos un año y medio, lo que consideraría un trato justo respecto al precio. Yo no considero que le doy un uso fuerte. Generalmente la uso una vez al día por las mañanas para calentar 1.25 litros y ocasionalmente al medio día. Esto no representa un uso intenso. Entonces, veremos cuánto dura y regresaré a actualizar esta nota que escribo el 28 de agosto de 2024. Mientras tanto, sí recomiendo comprarla ya que es un producto de calidad superior en su rango de precio. Espero resulte útil.
