Good tea kettle for the money, (What's this?) For the price, this tea kettle is just what I need for brewing green and specialty teas. After watching the video showing exactly how to use and steep tea in the kettle, I purchased it immediately and I haven't been disappointed in its use.
As previously mentioned by other reviewers, I do wish it had a longer or even a detachable cord. I also wish it had a feature that would automatically turn off the kettle when it reached the desired temperature instead of having to constantly watch the gauge on the kettle.
But, in keeping this in mind, such a kettle with these features would cost much more than this one does and it all depends on what you want to spend and what conveniences you want to have with it.
It's a good little kettle for the money and for what it does and I'm very pleased with it.
Cheep simple & effective, (What's this?) I don't use the steeping basket I use it to heat water & poor it into a cup containing a pouch of loose tea. It has worked great for months except the battery in the timer died after 3 weeks. I haven't bothered to change it I just use the kitchen timer.
Update: After over a year of being used multiple times a day I forgot & left it on. I don't think much of the boil dry setup it did shut down the heating element, but only after the water was gone. The pot smells like oil now & there's a film on the bottom. It still works, but I'm getting a new one. I can't find an electric kettle I like as much as this one for under $150.
very good one, (What's this?) Pros:
1. Adjustable timer, you will never forget about your tea (there is a table in user manual how to set time for different type of tea)
2. There is a mesh inside this kettle, so you can make your tea and you do not need a tea pot (we do not use this feature though)
3. There is a termo sensor and a good looking gauge
4. Very good construction, solid built, aluminium handle
Cons:
1. There is no base, and power cable is always attached
2.
Good kettle but a potential electric hazard., I received this kettle from my mother this past Christmas and it worked well until I brought it back home. The kettle doesn't have an on/off switch, you just have to plug and unplug to turn it on and off. This worked at my mom's house but when I brought it back home sparks would leap out of the outlet whenever it was unplugged. I initially remedied this with a power strip with a switch but then a couple months later the cord and metal plug became VERY warm whenever I used it. It's a wonderful kettle that heats water very quickly and efficiently but without a power switch and with possibly shoddy wiring, I see it as too much of a liability to use as often as I do.
VERY NICE TEA MAKER, (What's this?) This is the second tea maker - returned it due to slight arcing when unplugging. That brings me to the cord, what a pain, I would have given 5 stars for the concept but this dang cord is a pain especially when trying to rinse/clean the pot. I folded the cord and put a rubber band around it when cleaning. Very satisfied with the timer/steeper. Like the way the steeper basket clicks when taking off and putting on the lid. Have just used black/herb steeper setting so far.
Little more than a basic, electric tea kettle, (What's this?) Lacks markings for measuring correct amount of water to brew tea. Requires two cups of water for thermometer to work accurately. Has no spout stopper, so heat escapes readily from kettle once unplugged. No whistle or on/off switch. Timer for brewing works but the chime that sounds when timer runs down stopped working on mine after about a month.
Not bad, could use a few improvements, (What's this?) I had read several reviews on this tea kettle and have a friend who recommended it, so for the money I think it's pretty good. I bought it mainly for the temperature feature, but wish it had an on/off switch and an all stainless interior.
Excellent, (What's this?) This tea kettle is easy and fun to use. Being able to steep the tea right in the tea kettle and use the right temperature water for the tea of your choice is a great feature to have.
Best budget electric kettle for tea, (What's this?) I spent hours looking through the different models of electric kettles, trying to find one that could regulate the temperature at less-than-boiling. I'm also a college student, and can't spend $200 on one of the crazy PDA-E.Kettle-Fridge-TV models that seem popular. Buying a $15 kettle and sticking a thermometer in it is a hassle. All the models that automatically shut off at a desired temperature have mixed reviews about accuracy, and they're expensive.
But I didn't give up! I found the PRESTO.
Built-in thermometer? Heck yes. Built-in timer. Nice! Weighs only 2.3 lbs. and 40 oz. capacity. Awesome! Built-in tea infuser? ...
