Amazon Basics Electric Kettle with Glass Carafe for Tea and Coffee, BPA-Free, Fast Boiling, Auto Shut-Off, 1.8 Quarts, 1500W, Black and Silver

Nice fast boil, gets water to correct temperature to make awesome tea. Love the size being small enough to make tea but not too big to take up too much space on the counter. Looks elegant works great. Finally I have great tasting tea again.

Our apartment complex recently demolished our kitchen countertops, dropped them, and installed fake granite . We lost quite a lot of space and functionality. As I'm the only one who drinks hot tea and french press coffee I decided to look for a smaller electric kettle to fit into a tight space. I landed on this one from Amazon basics.I love it. The water heats up fast and one kettle can fill a standard french press or small tea pot. I love the color, looking sharp and clean. The auto shut off let's you know the water is ready, and you can simply wait a few minutes for the water temp to be "off boil" for coffee.Sometimes simple works best and for the price point it's exceptional. I've knocked it into the faux countertop a few times and it's so durable nothing cracked or chipped.So if you make small quantities of hot water a day, this is definitely the kettle for you.

This is one of my favorite items in my home. Quick and easy to use. This is my second time purchasing this kettle since my daughter accidentally broke the first one. Maybe one day I would do a video on my satisfaction but until then, I promise you can take my word for it. I use this in the morning for a quick cup of tea. I put the water in, brush my teeth, and the water is finished by the time my pearly whites are cleaned. For the price, this is a great product (no I am not getting paid to write this review), there were other kettles, but this one is the one I chose (twice). I can sit on my countertop without it burning my counter and the glass doesn't get to hot to the touch.

I got used to having a hot water kettle for making tea during my extended travel in Asia. I had to get an electric kettle like I had at the Asian hotels I stayed at. I got this one on Amazon because the design caught my eye. I like the glass with metal accents and the larger capacity (but still small enough to stay on countertop). It does heat up pretty fast for making tea, coffee, hot chocolate or what have you. I love watching the blue light come on and the bubbles forming quickly when the water comes to a rapid boil. No issues so far. Only minor complaint is the minimum fill is about 2.5 cups of water. I wish it was less for one person's use (as I'm the only person using it most of the time).

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I needed something to make hot water. My one-cup coffee maker had gone kaput. I also thought I would want a source of boiling water as well. This had sufficient capacity and the auto shut-off was enough for me. It has been working satisfactorily and so far so good. I put excess hot water into a table thermos so the water stays hot for awhile and I do not have to use the kettle too often. Others looked like more capacity and features than I wanted. It also had a sizeable discount so that tipped the balance. Been using it daily for my morning coffee. Boil a liter of water for a couple cups of coffee and sometimes for some instant oatmeal. Works fine so far. I have also started to make daily use of the 1 liter table thermos that my parents gave me years ago. I kind of like this.

Maybe the best electric kettle I've used! Filled half way (our usual amount) it comes to a full boil in about 3 minutes then turns itself off. If you've left the room and missed the "off" by just a little, just turn it back on for less than a minute and it comes back to a boil. It has a "scale" filter (particularly nice if you have hard water) on the spout that is easily removable to clean. The lid lifts up almost straight up, making it pretty easy to reach inside to clean it out. It out-performed two others I tried and costs far less.

The kettle is easy to use, heats water quickly, and isn’t too noisy. There’s no plastic smell, which was very important to me. It looks nice, works well, and does exactly what I need. I’m very happy with this purchase!

I am so pleased with this little kettle that I decided to share my thoughts. We recently moved to a retirement village. This has meant many adjustments. It was a big downsize for us. One thing that I have always had is a hot water dispenser at the kitchen sink. I was not able to have one in my new apartment and I knew I needed an alternative that would meet my needs. I began scrolling through the list of kettles and my eye was caught by the design of this kettle. I liked the size and the fact that I would be able to keep it on my counter without it being so huge that it took up more space than needed. The size is perfect. I love that it is glass and I can see when bubbles begin to form when it is turned on. I drink hot tea every night as I watch TV. This little kettle does the trick. I only have water in the kettle. I have the tea bag in my cup. It brings water to a boil extremely fast and automatically shuts off. I really love that feature. There is no obnoxious noise to deal with. My mother had a whistling tea kettle when I grew up and I hated that noise. Amazon is such a trusted brand and the price is right! You can’t go wrong with this kettle. I have been using it every day for 7 months and there are no signs of it slowing down. I give this a big thumbs up! 👍🏻🥰
