Amazon BasicsElectric Kettle with Glass Carafe for Tea and Coffee, BPA-Free, Fast Boiling, Auto Shut-Off, 1.8 Quarts, 1500W, Black and Silver

This kettle works very well and is reasonable priced. I opted for the 1.0 liter size which is perfect for me, as I usually don't require more than 2 cups of boiling water at a time. It boiled 2 cups in just about 3 min. but at full capacity it would hold just over 4 cups. It's much faster than using a pot on a stovetop and definitely more convenient (and faster) than boiling water in the microwave oven. For anything larger than 4 cups (ex., 6 cups needed to cook pasta), it's easy to empty and quickly boil another 2 cups to add to the pot. The top opens wide enough to fill in my refrigerator door dispenser and the handle doesn't heat up so it's very easy to dispense. I opted for the glass pitcher as I like to see the water inside. There are times for certain teas when I might want to stop it early so glass is much more convenient for me vs. stainless steel. The pitcher automatically turns off when done boiling and also there is a very visible blue light that stays on only while heating. Another safety feature is the auto-off when empty. Within seconds of turning the pitcher on with no water inside, it automatically shut off. For those not familiar with electric kettles, even immediately after heating water to boiling temperature, the base isn't hot (or even warm). So there's no danger when using the pitcher of you, or a child, accidentally getting burned by touching the base. So far this has been a great purchase for a great price!

I’ve been using the Amazon Basics 1.8-Qt Electric Kettle daily for several months, and it consistently delivers excellent performance. The 1500W heating element brings water to a boil quickly—typically in under 5 minutes for a full pot. The auto shut-off and boil-dry protection features provide peace of mind, especially during busy mornings. The stainless steel and BPA-free plastic construction feels sturdy, and the cool-touch handle ensures safe pouring. Its sleek black and silver design complements my kitchen decor. For anyone seeking a dependable and affordable electric kettle, this model is a top choice. It’s very light!

I worried that it was too flimsy. It was sturdy, and so useful. It takes the same amount of time to heat the water as heating a cup in the microwave. Now we can a pot of coffee, using the Melita way, and the pot heats the water quickly, and soooo hot, I love it. So very happy with it, I would recommend it to anyone.

I order this basic Amazon model, because the fancier imported model I had ordered a little over a year ago stopped working. So far, my new glass kettle is working perfectly! It holds a lot of water, is really fast at coming to a boil, shuts off automatically (a good thing, as I am a tad forgetful about such things), is easy to pour -- and was a very good price, less than the previous one. Am very pleased, I actually prefer this one... and so will stop being annoyed about the previous one's konking out on me!

This Amazon Basics electric kettle is a solid choice for the price. It boils water quickly and the auto shut-off and boil-dry protection features work as expected. The glass carafe looks nice and feels sturdy, though the overall build is average—not super premium, but not flimsy either. It's perfect for daily use if you're looking for a budget-friendly, no-frills kettle. Good value for what you pay.

Love this kettle. I got the biggest size. My mom and sister have one and I finally got tired of my stove top kettle enough to try one out....AND it is as awesome as they said it was! Much quicker to heat and much easier to clean because of the clear glass. I can actually see that it is clean on the inside where my stove top kettle I could not! It turns off by itself which I love more that I thought I would, it's very convenient! Looks nice and takes up less room than my stove top kettle as well!

Great value for this electric kettle. Heats up super quick and cleans nicely. Love the color that its clear. Seems durable but I have only had it 1 month but use it daily, sometimes 2x a day.

Nice product but too big for a small coffee bar. Heat up was very fast. Stainless steel throughout. Lid stayed fastened nicely. A little wobbly on the base which I didn’t care for to much. Main thing was size issue for me. I need something smaller. Returning only for that reason.
