Cuisinart 1.7-Liter Stainless Steel Cordless Electric Kettle with 6 Preset Temperatures

My cat broke my plastic kettle and I was looking for a durable replacement. I was skeptical about the price, but it is worth it. This kettle is very solid and the lid has a push button to open and is flush with the top. The kettle boiled in less than 3 minutes and has various temperature settings for different uses, such as types of tea, French press, etc. The kettle will shut off when the temperature is met and go into warming mode. If the water gets too cold, the kettle will turn back on. The base is minimal and the kettle goes on easily. The connection element is in the middle, so the kettle can be put on in any position and rotated with no interruption in operation. Well worth the cost imo.

The media could not be loaded. Love this! I was on the fence between a standard tea kettle vs electric. I reviewed a bunch before deciding on this. Works as claimed and my jasmine and green teas are so much better! I also drink lots of herbal teas. This heats water very fast! The temp control is fabulous. I knew temps should be lower for my teas, but was too impatient to let the boiling water cool for long and grew accustomed to bitter green teas. No more! Huge difference if you are a tea lover like me. The water gauge and swivel are also very nice features. While the “stay warm” feature holds temp for only 30-minutes, I have found the water stays hot for a good long time. If you have to reheat at all, only takes a few seconds. I don’t understand complaints about noise. It only makes noise when it is really close to temp—the sound of steam building in the kettle—not the actual device. Not a big deal at all and short-lived. I also don’t understand cleaning complaints. If I end up with hard water deposits, vinegar and a brush will work. I use filtered RO water for my tea, so shouldn’t be an issue. These are not designed to cook tea—and why would you? Tea (even black) is not meant to be boiled and cooked. A tea “pot” is for steeping. A tea “kettle” is for heating water. I would never do both in the same vessel. The “filter” is in case you have sediment in your water—not intended for actually brewing tea—although it looks like some people do. I have a separate glass teapot I use for actual brewing, so this is perfect. This is a little heavy when filled to max, but not unmanageable. I only fill to 1.5L (shoulder issue) rather than max and it is plenty of water and easy to handle. Love it! Hopefully, it lasts. If I have any issues, I will amend my review. I will add, I have a Cuisinart steam/bake toaster oven and also love that. Have had for a couple years now, use it a lot and NO issues. I sent another brand back that was inferior. So I am thinking this is a high-quality product. If it goes bad out of warranty, I will happily purchase another as I appreciate a good quality product and have used the heck out of it.

I just found my instruction booklet and receipt for this which I bought in November of 2014. It's now July of 2025. I am amazed that I have used this "kettle" for over 10 years!! It works as well as it did in the first year! I love the fact that it has six different temperature settings. I can fix a cup of tea and drink it right away. I don't have to burn my mouth because it was boiling water. It has a boil-dry protection feature just in case and I like the fact that it also has an automatic shut off feature as well. It will continue to keep the set temperature for 30 minutes, then shuts off. The handle stays cools and I can set the hot pot down off of the power base without it burning my counter tops. What a great appliance! I have used it almost daily since I have owned it and it has been very dependable. I would highly recommend it to everyone!

Idk how it started, but I seem to have a "thing" for kettles, and have more than I'd care to admit. As each of my kids leaves home, the first thing they'd take was one of my kettles. They use them to make coffee, tea, mashed potatoes, and ramen noodles in their dorm. I love cooking and canning, and have found so many uses for this kettle. It's nice to look at, easy to use....even in the dark, and cuts time and valuable prep space when canning. Also great at sterilizing utensils and jars. I like the weight of it....doesn't feel flimsy or will easily tip over like other kettles when the cord gets bent/twisted. The "keep warm" feature is convenient too. Bottom line, this is my new favorite kettle due to it's size and different temp settings for making various tea blends. If you're on a budget and only need it to boil water, this would be an overkill, IMO. Lots of much cheaper alternatives on here for that. However, if you find the temp and keep warm options helpful, this is a solid piece of equipment I highly recommend.
