Boils water really fast and looks good doing it
This replaced a .6L plastic (no inner steel wall) kettle so it's much bigger around but I measured first to make sure it would fit on my limited counter space and it's fine. I mainly used the old one for Cup Noodles and the occasional instant oatmeal, so 1/2 - 3/4 cup and this new one holds way more than that. The kettle is attractive and seems well-made. The lid is hinged on the handle side and the opening is pretty large,, making it easy to get a brush inside for cleaning if needed. One drawback, it's that the spout is both pretty small and, because the pot slopes in towards the top, you're really tipping it forward to pour the water out. The on switch shuts off when the water boils but it reaches a pretty rolling boil before it does so. Another drawback, of course, is that it's glass, so it's scalding hot when the water boils. you fingers are protected by the wide plastic strip but an inadvertent brush will be quite painful. As for performance, it boils water really, really fast, much faster then the old one, most likely due to the much larger heating area. Seeing the water boiling inside is pretty interesting, too. As long as it doesn't catch fire and burn the house down, which some Amazon Basics have been known to do, I'll be satisfied and can heartily recommend this kettle.

Boils Fast!
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!

Good Performance & Speed
The 1500W heating element delivers fast boiling, typically a full kettle in about 6–8 minutes depending on starting water temperature. It’s efficient for daily tea, coffee, instant meals, and pour‑overs.The glass carafe lets you see the water level and boiling progress, which many users find appealing. The black and silver accents are neutral and modern. Being BPA‑free is reassuring for health‑conscious users. Expect a plastic lid and handle with a stainless‑steel heating plate; overall build is decent for the price, though not premium.

Great. Heats up fast. Great for my coffee press. Pour nice. Seems well made
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.

Easy and fast
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.

Really nice electric kettle
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.

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.

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.
