Customers have mixed opinions about the quality of the electric water boiler. Some mention that it's well-made, cool to the touch on the outside, and all metal. The pot looks solid, and the auto off feature is reliable.

Customers are mixed about the rust of the electric water boiler. Some mention that the inside is stainless steel, along with a stainless steel spout, and the temperature sensor in the bottom is all stainless. They appreciate the all-metal carafe, as glass carafies make them nervous. However, others say that it rusted immediately, the lid on top of the kettle is not covered with stainless steel and is exposed to the inside, and that the bottom surface has started leaching.

"...Simple and sturdy: the inside is completely stainless steel; no plastic touches the water. A month or so in, all is well...." Read more

"...The not-so-good: because of the solid stainless interior, there's no means of seeing at a glance how much water's still in the kettle...." Read more

"...a mesh filter, which eventually fell out and broke; this one is all stainless steel and does not come off...." Read more

"...Great thing with this pot is the temperature sensor in the bottom is all stainless unlike some other brands that use a rubber/silicone o-ring...." Read more

Customers are not satisfied with the lid of the electric water boiler. They mention that it does not open all the way, the button to open the lid sometimes sticks, and the top only opens about 70 degrees. Customers also say that the lid is clunky and loud every time they close it.

"...The cuisiart died after 10 y or so; the lid no longer opened. The buttons had worn off but it still heated...." Read more

"...The button to open the lid occasionally fails to open, but I think I just need to figure out the exact pressure to apply...." Read more

"...I deducted a star because the button to open the lid sometimes sticks and needs to be pressed repeatedly...." Read more

"The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is the flip up lid doesn't open completely. So it takes a little more skill to fill with water...." Read more

Almost Perfect (Smart Temp Version)
UPDATE (March 2023): Nearly three years after purchasing this kettle, it still works and hasn't failed in any substantial way. The only issue we had is after the first year, the button to open the lid started to fail to open the lid, so we've spend the past two years having to make multiple attempts to get the lid to open to refill it. But the LEDs and power system still work just fine. We just replaced the unit with a 5 liter Zojirushi water boiler to match other appliances in our kitchen (and because we got tired of the lid on this unit not opening immediately.) Otherwise, we still recommend it. Just make sure you realize, the only way to actually see the LEDs is to keep the unit at an angle like in my photo from 2020. That gets old, too. But still, this unit just doesn't break down.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Two models are listed here, I am reviewing the smart temperature version with the LED screen and keep-warm function. I’ve had electric kettles for many years, long before they finally became a thing in American kitchens. But I always bought the cheap versions and they always burned out. To replace my last cheap kettle, I finally decided to get a more expensive one with features that my household would use. I spent around six hours comparison shopping, comparing reviews on different websites, reading user reviews, looking at user pictures, comparing feature sets, you know the drill, over and over. I wanted a 1.7 L, double walled (i.e. cool-touch), fully stainless-steel interior, multi-temperature machine with a keep-warm function and excellent reviews. This single Krups model was the only one I could find in all those hours of research that successfully fit that bill.We ran a few cycles with vinegar and water, and then clean water, when we first got it in response to reviews here that the interior needed a very good washing out before use. We were immediately amazed how quiet and relatively fast this unit is. Unlike our old, single-walled, metal electric kettle, this one does not sound like it’s about to takeoff for the moon while it’s boiling. You really barely hear it. You do clearly hear its sharp, loud double beep when the boiling’s done. We love this feature, although there is no way to silence it. And while no electric kettle in the United States is going to boil nearly as fast as an electric kettle in Europe because of the differences in our electrical voltage, this unit is substantially faster than our old one as well.There is no outside water-level gauge, but that also means less plastic for your water to come in contact with (here, no plastic at all on the inside.) The top opens easily with a single press of a button, and can further be opened to 90°, making a very wide opening for filling and for cleaning. The maximum fill line of 1.7 L is very large and easily visible on the inside. Refilling this unit has been very easy, and it is also very easy to pop open to make sure there’s enough water before you run another cycle.We also immediately found ourselves using the keep-warm feature. It keeps the water warm for half an hour after you boil it in case you need to walk away before you make your tea, etc. It’s a bit difficult to discern whether it remembers the keep-warm setting after you pour (although just pressing the Boil button the unit does remember your temperature setting), so we do find ourselves constantly turning that feature back on—which, unlike just boiling from scratch, requires you to cycle inconveniently through all of the temperature settings first. But it is still very convenient to be able to come back to the kettle on an afternoon or morning when you are drinking a lot of tea, to find the water already warm enough to pour.Four stars and not five because of the fiddliness of the keep-warm feature, and because the control buttons on the handle are also a little janky. The buttons are those awful, soft-press buttons like you find on a microwave touch panel, and are rather difficult to depress, making me wonder how long they will last. I feel though that if the controls break or the keep-warm fiddliness forces another purchase, while not cheap, the unit is just inexpensive enough to give these features the benefit of the doubt for now.Also, and maddeningly, the unit arrives with a full-size, fake LED readout sticker stuck on top of the actual LED readout on the side of the carafe—and not with an easy-off adhesive, either. You’ll (eventually) get the sticker off—but you’ll spend 15 minutes trying every trick you know to get semi-permanent adhesive off the side of consumer-grade plastic, and still won’t get all of it off. I did not take points off for this because it doesn’t have anything to do with the functioning of the unit, but I feel it must be noted because this was a totally unnecessary annoyance before even being able to clean the unit for use.Otherwise my household is very satisfied with this kettle, more satisfied than we ever were with our previous cheaper electric kettles. The brands with similar features we almost bought included Miroco, Hamilton Beach, and Cuisinart, among others. We’re satisfied with our final choice.

Four stars and not five because of the fiddliness of the keep-warm feature, and because the control buttons on the handle are also a little janky. The buttons are those awful, soft-press buttons like you find on a microwave touch panel, and are rather difficult to depress, making me wonder how long they will last. I feel though that if the controls break or the keep-warm fiddliness forces another purchase, while not cheap, the unit is just inexpensive enough to give these features the benefit of the doubt for now.

Also, and maddeningly, the unit arrives with a full-size, fake LED readout sticker stuck on top of the actual LED readout on the side of the carafe—and not with an easy-off adhesive, either. You’ll (eventually) get the sticker off—but you’ll spend 15 minutes trying every trick you know to get semi-permanent adhesive off the side of consumer-grade plastic, and still won’t get all of it off. I did not take points off for this because it doesn’t have anything to do with the functioning of the unit, but I feel it must be noted because this was a totally unnecessary annoyance before even being able to clean the unit for use.

Otherwise my household is very satisfied with this kettle, more satisfied than we ever were with our previous cheaper electric kettles. The brands with similar features we almost bought included Miroco, Hamilton Beach, and Cuisinart, among others. We’re satisfied with our final choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023
I finally gave up on replacing stove-top kettles w/thermometers. This is our first electric kettle. Pros: It has a very streamlined look and should be easy to keep clean. Easy to operate and heats the water quickly. Temperature display is pretty nifty. Handle and lid are well-insulated so I don't worry about it being too hot to handle. Since it's on the counter, no more need to move the stove-top kettle out of the way when cooking. I like the retractable cord that keeps the extra length tucked into the base. No problem with odd plastic smell that other reviewers mentioned. CONS: A bit of a roar while heating. It's looks taller on my counter than I expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Es grande
Reviewed in Mexico on November 30, 2023
Tomen en cuenta que es de 1.7litros y tiene un diseño alto (la anterior que usaba era de 1.5lts mucho mas bajita)
Normalmente yo hiervo el agua y tiene un boton directo para eso que es muy conveniente
Tiene un display que va mostrando la temperatura en grados F
Es rapida
Dicen que la tapa no abre mucho, a mi me parece bien..
Por dentro es de metal, por fuera parece tener una cubierta de plastico
En general se ve de muy buena calidad
