Secura Original Stainless Steel Double Wall Electric Water Kettle 1.8 Quart with Auto Shut-Off & Boil-Dry Protection, Orange SWK-1701DO/HB-3227B

This works great for heating medium to large amounts of water. I use it to make tea and it’s super easy to use. The plug may draw a lot of power because one of my GFCI outlets in my kitchen tripped while it was plugged in so I’m using it on a non GFCI outlet and it’s working great. I would recommend it for anyone who makes tea or heats larger volumes of water. Basically the midline fill is hit when I empty my Brita pitcher into it from full. Simple easy and fast and wasn’t too expensive I’m happy. No special dials or controls though for water temperature which would have been nice but a helpful tip for making green tea which is better not being out directly into boiling temp water just fill a mug and let it sit for 3 minutes at room temp to cool down a bit and then toss in the tea bag.

I’m genuinely impressed with this Secura electric kettle. The product photos don’t do it justice — the actual build quality is noticeably richer and more substantial than the pictures. This is not cheap, flimsy plastic. The exterior has a solid, high‑quality finish, and the entire interior is real stainless steel, including the spout and lid underside. The kettle feels sturdy in the hand, heats quickly, not noisy, and has a reassuring weight that reflects good construction. It’s clear that Secura put real thought into durability and materials rather than cutting corners. Much better than expected. We got the Orange color.

Update: I love this thing so much that I wanted to provide an update. I use this at least twice a day, and more if I want boiling water for any cooking use at all. If I want to make pasta, boil potatoes, whatever, I put my kettle on and it is so much faster than waiting for a pot to boil, but I also put a little water in the pan on the stove and get it boiling, too, so that when I pour in my kettle's worth of hot water, I'm well ahead of the process. I've also had no problem with "rusting" or staining at all, my cord isn't heating up, and my only regret with this kettle is that I didn't get one sooner. Also, re the raisin color: it's still ugly, but I have found amusement in coming up with descriptions of the color, and the laughing offsets the ugly factor. There's always a silver lining. So, I got the Dark Purple because I was being cheap. It's my own choice, and I did not rate the color. This isn't dark purple. it's "raisin", and that means a weird browny/purple thing, and not my fav. But it was $10 less, and it's not horrid, and I didn't love the other "bright" colors either, and "midnight black" was as much of a risk as "dark purple". I use this as a preface to my review because, if you care about the color that much and raisin isn't your favorite shade, try another color. But that said... OMG! I already love this thing! it's easy to fill, it is SOOOOOOOO much faster than stovetop kettle (I had Le Creuset Zen model), and the stainless is so easy. I did a couple of test runs, and it is 2.5 minutes faster than stovetop for 2 cups of water (stovetop set at high). I also made soft-boiled eggs with the extra water. I put my room temp eggs in a pan, poured the boiling water over, and let sit for 8 minutes, no additional heat, and I got soft-boiled just the way I like them. I know 2.5 minutes savings' per day isn't going to save the world, but in a month,that's 75 minutes energy savings, and in a year, that's 900 minutes energy savings. Plus, I don't have to heat extra water for a soft-boiled egg. I'd highly recommend this kettle. I just have found no negatives (other than the not awesome raisin color, but that was my own choice, and some people may actually like the color). Also, I keep reading about rusting... stainless steel is called stainless because it's the least corrosive of all the metals, and with cookware and utensils it's great because it just doesn't normally rust. The inside of this kettle is 18/10 (that's the ratio of chromium to nickel and it's better than 18/8. Water can leave stains if there's a high rust content in your area. Also, hard water leaves its own kind of gunk. White vinegar rinse will help, and I always leave the top up and I don't leave water standing in mine because I hate the idea of stale water. So hope that helps anyone concerned about rust.

I've now been using this kettle for almost a month. The inside of the kettle is perfect - all stainless steel and no smell. However, the white coating on the outside still is giving off a chemical smell. It's getting better, but it's still there. It does not affect the water in the kettle at all. I thought I might be bothered by not having an outside indicator of the water level, but don't mind this at all. The markings inside are easy to read as you fill the kettle. However, the markings are only 1/2 liter, 1 liter and 1.7 liter. I wish it also had 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6 cups markings. My French Press takes 1 liter, so for making coffee the markings aren't such a problem, but the cup markings would be great when I'm boiling water for a cup of tea. Next, when the water comes to a boil, the kettle simply shuts off and the lit on/off button turns off. You either need to watch for the light to go off or listen carefully to the sound of the water coming to a boil. I wish the kettle beeped or had some auditory method of letting you know when your water was boiled. Lastly, the spout of the kettle is not perfect. Water tends to flow over the sides of the spout if you pour too quickly. Be careful. Minor points overall. I'm pleased to have a kettle with an all stainless interior that doesn't cost over $100.

Love my water kettle so much! For years I heated water in microwave for each cup of tea...so very inconvenient but seemed easier than using the quality tea kettle I own on stove top for each cup of tea. If u want boiling water for any reason, only a few xtra seconds and u have it! I have started using it to boil water for use in cooking as it is lightning fast. I heat the water in this amazing kettle, and then pour it into my cooking pan on stove top. With my new electric kettle, it is so easy to fill w water enough for several cups, and use it to heat water to perfect temp for each cup of tea. It does not get warm on the outside, anywhere, the toggle on/off switch is so easy to toggle on and the water gets heated to perfect temp in a snap...so much faster than my old kettle, which is NOT electric. This electric kettle is gorgeous for my kitchen counter and does not take up a burner on my stove. It is so lightweight in terms of use and I love that it separates from its heating element and is therefore cordless when I go to pour hot water into my tea cup. It is all stainless steel internally, so my heated water is not exposed to fumes from any plastic parts, including the spout, also stainless steel. The gorgeous light weight plastic is only on the exterior of kettle, which makes it very easy to lift and light weight. It is a clever and PERFECT design and reasonably priced for a very quality kettle, which truly does make my days easier. Thank you so much! I would buy another if needed and highly recommend! I drink tea all day long and this kettle makes the prep experience so much more pleasant. I used to dread the tea making process and now look forward to it as much as drinking tea. My only complaint is I would’ve preferred a white color, and tho u offer a pretty white one, it was unavailable at time of my order. Thank you very much for my awesome electric kettle!

I spent nearly two months trying to find a kettle that didn't have _any_ plastic inside in contact with the water. I read many dozens of online reviews and forums, and nothing quite made the cut. I wanted a glass or ceramic interior, because they're inert and won't flavor or contaminate the water, but that proved impossible; I decided stainless steel was a good alternative. (I'd been using a Le Creuset for the past 10 years but can no longer remove the scale from the inside and needed a replacement.) This kettle works beautifully and it's completely nontoxic, as the water contacts nothing but stainless inside. Note that some people have worried about a small circular hole at the top beneath the lid -- this is there so that the lid can close. When you're boiling water, that hole is completely blocked by the thickness of the lid as it closes; the interior of the lid is the same stainless steel as the rest of the interior. There is thus NO plastic that can be contacted by water or steam in this kettle. (See photos. The first shows the hole just beneath the rim, and the second shows that the thickness of the metal in the lid will completely block that hole.) I've been using the kettle multiple times per day and it works simply and beautifully. It boils water quickly, and it shuts off by itself once it's reached the boil. For those of you considering a kettle with temperature settings: (1) testing of such kettles indicates that most of them are off the desired temperature by as much as 10 degrees, defeating the purpose of setting it at different temps for different teas; and (2) I have a ThermoPop thermometer (not available through amazon, alas) and another less fancy one, and both of them indicate that once you pour the water out of the kettle, the temperature drops really quickly. If I pour into an open cup, the temp falls to ~180-185 degrees as soon as I've stopped pouring; the temp remains a bit higher in a closed teapot (and will differ depending on whether the teapot is glass, ceramic, or metal). So I'm not sure that even an accurate temp gauge on a kettle would be that useful.

UPDATE- after complaining about the defected base of the cattle, we received replacement cattle. UNFORTUNATLY, the base of the replacement was also defected - it seems like the whole line of white cattle with black handle has the same defect. There is no way to return the replacement and no way to be reimbursed! We enjoyed our old Secura cattle for several years, BUT given the current problems with quality control it looks like we have to find another brand of cattle now. This is our second Secura kettle. We love the fact that the kettle is all stainless steel and that the water doesn't come into contact with any plastic when heating or pouring. The first one lasted for 7 years until the switch on the base failed. We used it regularly several times a day so that lifespan seemed reasonable. Fast forward to the other week, we ordered a new kettle. It arrived missing two of three rubber pads on the base, as seen in the photo. They weren't on the base nor in the box. This is annoying as it skitters around the marble countertop and puts a bit of extra pressure on the edge that pushes into the electrical cord. We debated sending it back but were unable to contact to the seller to see if they can simply send two pads. Amazon offered a replacement which arrived in the same condition. What's worse, the one pad that is in place doesn't fit the other slots, so we couldn't even shift it over. That replacement goes back tomorrow. It's a shame because for less than a penny per unit in cost, this would go from 3 star to 5. My husband will likely "hack" this and make it work.

We bought this because Consumer Reports has this as the top rated brand of kettle. So I got it. Our home uses this thing about 6-8 times daily. Yes, it gets heavy use. It works like a champ and we fill it to the line and it heats to a boils pretty quickly - about a couple minutes. The kettle is audible when the water is getting ready to boil. Is this kettle noise? Yes and no. Partly it is the water getting ready to boil, partly it is the container with the double walls making the sound louder. Sometimes double walls are quiet, but not when the walls are stainless steel and plastic. No sound proofing qualities there. Is this a deterrent for you? Depends if you need quiet for a kettle. Frankly I like knowing when the water is ready, there is no other sound like a whistle or click to let you know. Looks: It is a gorgeous kettle. I mean stunning. I would buy it for looks in a second. Yes, that stainless steel interior is all that the water touches. For us, it isn't difficult to clean. So I am not having any issues yet. I would buy this kettle because the one it replaced would build up calcium ALL OVER the cracks and places I did not want to clean. This one, not nearly as bad. So far, so good. By the way, this one has a 3 prong plug. For those of you into safety, I would MUCH rather have 3 prongs than 2. This has ground. It is also why it heats water as fast as it does. Hope this review helps.

Compré esta hervidora de agua ya que las anteriores que he tenido al ser de cristal se han roto por accidente. Decidí comprar esta jarra por su diseño y color que son muy bonitos y al no ser de cristal la jarra es más resistente. El interior es de acero inoxidable y el agua nunca toca la parte de plástico , además no esta caliente al tacto y evita quemaduras. Me ha gustado que calienta muy rápido y tiene una capacidad de casi 2 lts. La recomiendo ampliamente.

Excelente, diferentemente das nacionais que tem plástico em contato com a água ou com o vapor quente contaminando a água, essa é 100% inox inclusive a tampa, nada de plástico em contato com a água.

Compré esto para reemplazar un hervidor de agua eléctrico similar que dejó de funcionar después de solo varios meses de uso diario. Este es más fácil de limpiar, y espero que dure mucho más. Está bien hecho y funciona bien. Caliento agua para preparar té todas las mañanas.

Very nice, solid stainless steel kettle. No glass spout to chip or plastic window to leak. Fill lines are stamped into the interior wall. The exterior gets warm but will not burn skin.

Ya tengo usándola todos los días, tres o cuatro veces al día y funciona realmente bien. En cuestión de 3 min el agua está hirviendo. Este es el color real del color púrpura, yo la pedí en ese tono solo por el precio. Fuera del color que no es mi favorito y por ahorrarme unos cientos de pesos, recomiendo la tetera!
