Review on Elite Gourmet EKT1001 Electric BPA Free by Kevin Flores

UPDATED: I've had this kettle for over 8 months now. There are a few comments I would like to add to my original review. Proposition 65 WARNING? Not sure what prompted this but there is now a Proposition 65 warning when trying to repurchase this kettle. I'm pretty sure it didn't exist when I bought it 8 months ago. Price increase: I bought this kettle for about $20. Is it over $40 now?! I wouldn't buy it again at this new price. Quality Notes: 1. The filter on the spout has worn out over time. I ended up having to cut it off because it was dangling when I tried to pour the water out and I didn't want pieces of filter to accidentally end up in my cup.2. Not a fan of the abundance of plastic on this thing. While it advertises BPA-free plastic, I'm just not thrilled that the filter cap and spout are plastic. This means your boiling water will touch the plastic every time you use it (unless you open the lid before pouring).3. The kettle should automatically stop boiling when it reaches a certain point. It stopped working after 7-8 months so my kettle just kept boiling until I realized it wouldn't stop and I had to stop the kettle manually. I received a replacement but would have liked to have been informed of the Prop 65 warning before a replacement was ordered. Overall I would not recommend this kettle. I am currently looking for a stainless steel kettle to replace this one. ------------- ---- --------------------------------- ------------- ---- ------------------------------- OLD REVIEW : This is a really great 1 liter kettle! Every other good glass teapot I can find is under 1.5 liters and it's just perfect! This was the only one I could find that was aesthetically pleasing and worked very well. The lid shouldn't be forced open, so I'll just be careful and gentle with it. It glows blue when heated and boils a liter of water in about 5 minutes, it's so fast! 10/10 highly recommended.
