Delonghi Electric kettle (1.0L)「ICONA Vintage Collection」 KBOV1200J-GR (Olive green)【Japan Domestic genuine products】

Love the color, heats up fast. love the filter inside.

If a Vespa were a teapot it would be this one. Great Italian styling. It’s an appliance that dresses up the countertop. Very easy to use. Heats a full pot of water under a minute. The spout filter is an added feature. A word of caution for any device that generates steam...don’t put this under a cupboard unless you want the finish ruined. We didn’t, but we know others that have done so with other products and it did not turn out well for the wood finish. We chose a spot near the sink (away from cabinets) next to the filtered water faucet for easy filling. Our stovetop kettle just became obsolete.

I’ve had my eye on this kettle for along time. I love the color and design. I’m finally putting my coffee bar together, and thought this retro style would be great. Unfortunately, I didn’t read the description well, and didn’t realize all the plastic involved. Now, I’m not against plastics, but for the price of this kettle, I was NOT expecting plastic, and cheap plastic at that. Another viewer said they smelled plastic while using it, and I can see why. It would seem to me that the base would eventually become a melted mess. (Someone also said they can’t send it back because they used it. Yes, you can. It’s definitely not up to par; send it back!) The wonderful thing about Amazon is that they stand by their products. They don’t know the quality unless us, the buyers, review the product. Sorry…this is going back pronto!

Good quality of the kettle

I don't generally clean kettles that I use on a daily basis as the process of boiling automatically sanitizes it. I'm sure it would be simple to clean out under the sink though. There are no temp controls that I'm aware of. I received the fully Japanese version so all instructions and descriptions are in Japanese. That being said. I was able to use it immediately, so it's pretty easy to use. This is a nice sized kettle. My only confusion is the very low "fill" line. I fill mine much higher, but I am in the kitchen when it's in use and it's plugged into a GFI shutoff outlet. Even very full it has never boiled over. Heats quickly, looks lovely. So far I'm very happy. I think I've had it for about 3 months now.

I love this little kettle, from the retro look to how fast in boils water. At 1 liter capacity, its perfect for a small households and/or when you don't want a large kettle to take up counter space. Have been using it for just over two weeks and have no issues with using it on US power (located in So Cal). I just ordered another one for our vacation home.

I rented a flat in London for a week that had this kettle in the kitchen. I felt so sophisticated using it that three days into my stay I looked up the kettle brand and ordered it so it would be waiting for me when I returned to the States! It’s so cute and retro and the liter size is the perfect amount for about 2.5 cups of French press coffee for me. I’ve had it for over 2 years with no issues! Worth every penny!

So far there is no problem , but it’s impossible to register.
