This is my fourth electric kettle. First Cuisinart model. Sleek, sturdy design. nice for counter top. Heats water to perfect temperature for tea. Handy water level viewer. Easy to read with blue lighting. Easily swivels on its base 360 degrees for more convenient usage. I didn’t give kettle a five star rating for two reasons. Difficult to clean. Tapered top opening does not allow for hand cleaning inside of kettle. Same if using long handled brush. Also the spout filter doesn’t serve a purpose for my needs but is one more thing narrowing the top opening. Mineral build up may become an issue sooner rather than later. Time will tell.

The safety shutoff feature stopped working after approximately 9 months of light use. This was past the warranty period and therefore not covered. I don’t expect small appliances to last forever, but this was disappointing. Otherwise it is a good size kettle and I liked the ergonomics.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our old glass Cuisinart tea kettle stopped working after less than 3 years. We replaced it with a stainless steel Cuisinart tea kettle that was rated higher. I liked the looks of the glass one, but I think this one actually heats water faster, so I'm completely happy with it. Let's hope it lasts longer than the last one as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the electric kettle a few weeks ago and I am happy with it. It works well, heats up water fast and turns off when water has reached temperature. I wish the opening was a little wider but not enough to take out a star.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tea kettle. It is nicely constructed and easy to use. It does not take long for the water to reach its boiling point. The kettle doesn’t remain on to keep the water warm until used. It turns off immediately. This could be a positive or a negative. I wish I could adjust it to remain on for a limited time; then, shut off. I would also love for a sieve to be included to steep your tea in the water, instead of placing your tea bags directly in the kettle. It does have a small strainer that attaches to the spout to prevent unwanted tea grains from entering your cup.

Very happy with this purchase! Build quality, ease of use, easy to keep clean. Nice stainless finish. Easily accessible spout filter. Very clear, external capacity gauge. Attractive addition to the countertop. Reaches full boil quickly, then shuts off. I have several other Cuisinart appliances, and have always been more than just "satisfied". I feel safe in recommending it highly.!!

I bought this about 2 months ago. I really like it. It brings water to a boil quickly. It has a great safety feature which is that once the water comes to a boil after a few seconds it will automatically shut off. I like this feature because if I happen to walk away no worries about the pot boiling dry.

I bought this a few weeks ago and was skeptical because of the price. $50! After I got it home and started using it I was very impressed! It works quickly, easily, and I love that its just a normal kettle that you just pickup and use! NO cords to worry about, bottom of pot doesn't get hot. Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received it as a housewarming present. We have really enjoyed how simple it is to heat up water!. No more pots, no more tea kettles! just turn it on. We love how quickly it heats the water and so easy to pour from it. Great great design. Thanks so much!

This is exactly what I was looking for, a simple to use and high quality kettle. I love that the body of the kettle is enameled stainless steel as is the interior. The kettle has substance without being too heavy. I was looking for a higher power kettle that didn’t have too many features, this kettle is just that. It clicks on, has a level indicator and illuminates with a blue light. The best part is how fast it heats up!
