Terrible product and poor support

Although the kettle worked for several months the problems were never resolved once it started. The kettle does not stay connected to my network. Several support attempts were unsuccessful. The kettle was under warranty and it took forever to replace it with another defective product. I just finished throwing it in the trash.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Good idea bad execution

I saw it and bought it because there were few options for a kettle with WLAN, especially in this price range. It looks like you get what you pay for. I spent hours trying to connect to Wi-Fi and then found out that since 2002 you basically need Wi-Fi to do this. Also, the teapot doesn't have double walls, so if you touch anything other than the handle, it will be covered with three layers of dermis. Let's hope that the next generation solves these problems. returned it

Pros
  • understandable even for the old one
Cons
  • not reliable

The app is not available

The app is not available in the Google Play Store. I tried the previous version (2.0 instead of 3.0) and got a message that it is not available in my country (USA). Revain refunded my money but didn't take the product back so I have to throw it away. Also, this is my second time trying to leave a negative review. It will be interesting to see if this gets published and left in the seating areas. I know it's a 'sponsored' product, but if the app doesn't exist, they should just stop selling this…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Difficult to say

Breaks easily for kettle

The first I've quit work in a week. It was replaced and this one lasted a month before breaking. The first time it broke it said the water was boiling but it was room temperature. This time the power was off for a while, and now the button on it doesn't do anything. A hard reset doesn't help either. When it works, it's really nice. Works well with Alexa. My $25 kettle has lasted many years and I am using it again. I was glad to have one for smart home connectivity but I won't be getting…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Annoying

Well thought out and implemented kettle with remote control

We got it to replace our existing kettle with a manual automatic switch-off. This kettle works very well, it's quiet and keeps the temperature well after boiling. We can manage it with an app that we think is easy to set up and use (contrary to some reviews). It's about an inch larger than our old one, probably due to the space it takes up with the electronics. There is a button on the base if you want to control the kettle without the app. Finally, for those who appreciate it, this teapot is a

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • Almost never

No Alexa Integration

The product description and even the packaging boldly claim Alexa integration, but there's no way to link iKettle's Smarter.am account to the Alexa app, as per the help documentation for the Site described. Whenever I try to link accounts in Alexa it asks for an email address to use for an iKettle account but it doesn't accept those credentials, it just tells me no such account was found. I need to try IFTTT, but if I can't authenticate myself to communicate with Alexa, I suspect IFTTT will…

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Minor Stuff

An excellent kettle for many reasons.

I was skeptical about this kettle at first. I bought mine from the Revain marketplace which caused a small issue that was quickly resolved. I bought this because I wanted to be able to heat water to a specific temperature (100 degrees Fahrenheit) for my neti pot. It has many features that I didn't know until I started using it. Because of these qualities I buy one for each of my sisters who are both pregnant right now when they burst. I was a little disappointed with this. my neti pot because…
