Review on Chefman Electric Kettle with Temperature Control, Removable Tea Infuser, 5 Presets, LED Indicator Lights, 360° Swivel Base, BPA Free, Stainless Steel, 1.8 Liters by Todd Raynie

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Lots of good features but the stainless steel base rusts almost immediately

There are many things about this kettle that he likes. It's durable, easy to use, takes up little space (love the handle controls), and works reliably. BUT the second time I used it, there was a ring of rust on the bottom. Нержавеющая сталь НАМНОГО слишком тонкая.--------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- ---------------------Me нужен был прочный, долговечный and практичный чайник. I don't like gimmicks (didn't want a complicated screen or extra lighting), I like simple functionality, but color-coding for different temperatures is useful. Highly recommend this kettle. He is durable. It's reliable (heats up pretty quickly), has useful color coding for different temperatures, is sleek and aesthetic, and is one of the nicest looking kettles on the market. I like the small footprint of the stand (stands with buttons tend to stick out more and take up counter space, so putting the controls in the stylus was a good idea). I take good care of my things because I want them to last. We only use filtered water that is cleaned and dried after each use. It was a SHOCK to see a ring of rust on the underside after only two uses and now after a few dozen uses the rust has spread to most of the underside. The strainer seems to be holding up better, no rust yet, but rusting in the kettle is unacceptable. tends to float, making it difficult to land properly) but with patience you can get used to it. Due to rust I only have to give this kettle one star but other than that everything is fine so I'm compromising three stars. I should have sent it back but I like the design better than the competition and didn't want to part with it as the alternatives are less practical, less durable (this kettle weighs more) and less attractive than this one.

Pros
  • Pretty
Cons
  • Good but not great
