This review is for Amazon Basics Electric Glass and Steel Hot Tea Water Kettle, 1.7-Liter, Black and Silver. I got this to replace a stainless steel Ascot electric kettle which worked wonderfully for about 3 years and before that an Ovente cordless glass kettle which also worked for 3 years. I know it was 3 years because I am diligent with recording all my purchases and they all seem to die by the 3 year mark. I’m not sure if this is planned obsolescence but this has been my personal experience. I thought about getting another Ascot again but it’s expensive and if I’m only going to get 3 years out of it, why spend any more than what I have to for an electric kettle? Don’t do what I did thinking a more expensive one will last any longer! I went with this one because my parents have it so I know it works and it works well for them. Why not go with something I know works? I like it a lot and it boils water pretty fast. I like electric kettles for the convenience of being able to boil water and walk away knowing it would turn off once ready. Gone are the days of waiting patiently for the whistling of the kettle so that I can shut off the stove! Who has time anymore? I only use filtered water to make my coffee and tea and I normally check the temperature of the water before I use it depending on whether I'm making tea or coffee. Some things that I've observed, and others have pointed out, is that the water boils at 7 minutes and 30 seconds for me with 1.7L (Max) of filtered Brita water (whether refrigerated or room temperature). Obviously, the less water, the quicker the kettle comes to a boil (3 minutes for 1.0L). The kettle will automatically shut off when it hits about 210-212°F (based on the 3-4 readings that I've taken). This is a little bit too hot for my coffee and tea so I usually wait a bit for it to cool down to between 195-205°F for coffee and between 160-180°F for my tea. There are kettles out there where one can set the desired temperatures, but for the price and quality of this kettle I think it's working out fine for me. I like the wide opening because it’s easy to fill and also easy to stick my hands inside to clean with a sponge. I couldn’t do this with my last kettle and that was so annoying! Pro Tip: In my experience, if the kettle doesn’t turn on or seems dead, descaling the pot will often restore it back to normal. This was the case with my Ascot where once I descaled it, it worked again for several more months. I had to do this 3-4 times during those 3 years before it died completely. Also, if it doesn’t turn on after cleaning, try spinning the kettle to different contact points on the base. This too was the case with my old kettles. I had to slowly spin the kettle on the base to get it to light up and run. Eventually this didn’t work either so here I am once again looking for a new kettle! Overall, I'm pleased with this Amazon Basics kettle. I like the size, quality, design, features, and boil speed. I would still recommend it and I give it a 5.0/5.0. - 06/15/2024.

I’m really impressed with the Amazon Basics Electric Kettle! It heats water quickly and efficiently, making it perfect for my morning coffee and tea. The 1.8-quart capacity is just right for my needs, and I love the sleek glass and steel design. The auto shut-off and boil-dry protection features give me peace of mind, knowing it’s safe to use. It's also BPA-free, which is a huge plus for me. Overall, this kettle offers great performance at an excellent price. Highly recommend!

I recently purchased this kettle, and I’m very happy I chose it. The quality is great, and it’s the perfect size—not too big, just right for everyday use. What I love most is how fast it boils water—super quick! Definitely a solid buy if you're looking for something that works well and doesn't take forever to heat up. Glass option was excellent choice

What in blazes did we do for tea before this thing came along? What have we been thinking? Love, love, love this thing! It's super fast, it's safe, it's easy to take on and off the stand that heats it. It's clear and has a nice aesthetic for being on the counter top, love the pretty blue light that comes on! Easy to open.. You can pour it without even opening it. Don't even need to clean since it's just water we're boiling. So worth the price and best thing I've bought all year. Idk if it's the Brits we need to thank for this, but if so, thank you, cousins!!!

It’s a compact kettle. Larger than a travel size although a bit smaller than the usual ones I had. However, no fuss, pours smoothly, boils quickly, automatic shut off is great and I’m sure it’s probably a little bit more energy efficient

The only con I have with this product is that there is an interior metal lip between the glass section and the top plastic section, so when you turn the kettle upside down to completely empty it, about a teaspoon of water remains in the kettle. Everything else I have to say about this kettle is positive. It is super quick at heating water. It turns off consistently about 5 seconds after reaching a full boil. The handle is large for a good grip and does not get warm at all. Even the base the kettle sits on rises only barely above room temperature. I use the kettle daily, and haven't unplugged it in months. My water is extremely hard, and deposits quickly grow in an arc following the outline of the heating element, but boiling a minimal amount of water with a fair bit of lemon juice removes it with no other work. I have seen no other deposits anywhere else in the kettle. There is a spout filter that I was not expecting, but was a pleasant surprise. Bottom line, this kettle does exactly what it's supposed to do, is of good quality, is reliable, and is a very good value.

The price is good for this quality. I like the glass design. It’s simple and cool to see the boiling water. I don’t have to smell or taste of plastic. Very happy with the product.

I compared the boil time on different glass kettles and this is the fastest of all of the others that I tried in this size. I also like the fact that it's sleek and not bulbous so fits neatly right next to the coffee machine. Another thing I like about it is the spout is stainless steel and not glass, so one less concern when pouring boiling water and fearful of chipping the spout. Easy to clean, easy to open, and easy to fill with water quickly because of the wide top. It's also relatively lightweight and my wrist appreciates that. I'm very happy with my purchase and truly like everything about this product.

I’m really impressed with the Amazon Basics Electric Kettle. It boils water quickly and the auto shut-off feature is a great safety touch. The design is simple and sleek, and the handle is comfortable to hold. Perfect for making tea, coffee, or even just hot water. I love how easy it is to clean, too! Definitely a great value for the price. Highly recommend!

A comparación de otras teteras eléctricas que he comprado, esta se siente bastante robusta y su funcionamiento se siente también muy seguro. Para que no haya ambigüedad, estoy hablando de la jarra eléctrica de vidrio Amazon Basics de 1.7 litros. Calienta el agua con bastante rapidez y se apaga sola en cuanto el agua comienza a hervir. El vidrio es grueso. El mango se mantiene frío, de manera que se puede manejar muy bien. Por el momento, estoy muy satisfecho con el producto. Veremos si es duradero, por que el tema que ha sido reincidente con todas las teteras eléctricas de diversas marcas que he comprado es que se descomponen entre tres y seis meses. Esta parece estar construida con una mayor calidad, entonces tengo la expectativa que dura cuando menos un año y medio, lo que consideraría un trato justo respecto al precio. Yo no considero que le doy un uso fuerte. Generalmente la uso una vez al día por las mañanas para calentar 1.25 litros y ocasionalmente al medio día. Esto no representa un uso intenso. Entonces, veremos cuánto dura y regresaré a actualizar esta nota que escribo el 28 de agosto de 2024. Mientras tanto, sí recomiendo comprarla ya que es un producto de calidad superior en su rango de precio. Espero resulte útil.

La jarra calienta el agua de forma rápida, además de que se apaga sola al hervir el agua. Tienes litro y medio de agua en 5 minutos, muy útil cuando estas cocinando pasta, o sopas, ya que no tienes que esperar a que hierva el agua en la estufa. Su potencia de 1500 watts es similar a lo que consume el horno de microondas.

Works great and it’s a great size. Flip lid is handy and boils quick. Not much luck with kettles (high usage) so we’ll see how this does.

¡Extraordinario! Me resultó muy funcional; hierve rapidísimo, y su capacidad parecería poca, sin embargo en la práctica rinde para 3 tazas. De lo mejor que he adquirido. Pienso comprar otro, para tenerlo en reserva :)
