Smart Digital Kettle

I have used it everyday multiple times since Mar 2020, its been 5 years and it still works as new I like the Piano black with large display and its easy to use and view big temprature settings. I love that it heats up a full kettle to 212 pretty quickly ( Under a min) The water is in a stainless steel container and at no time comes in touch with plastic which I appreciate . Green tea 175 is a great preset Its practical, sturdy, quick to heat, long life, large capacity to others ... highly recommended

I recently got the KRUPS 1.5L Electric Kettle, Cool Touch, and so far I’m really happy with it. The leakage is perfectly fine — no drips or leaks around the spout or base, even when the kettle is full. The safety features are excellent: the outer surface stays cool while boiling, and the auto shut-off works perfectly, which makes it feel very safe to use. When it comes to taste, the stainless steel interior keeps the water clean — no plastic smell or strange aftertaste at all. The kettle heats up quickly and efficiently — 1.5 L boils in just a few minutes. The overall kettle quality feels solid and premium — sturdy handle, smooth lid, and a well-balanced design. And the colour is beautiful! Sleek, modern, and fits perfectly into my kitchen style. Overall, this kettle combines safety, speed, and elegant design. I’m really pleased with my purchase and definitely recommend it!

Wow this is easily to use and great quality product. It heat my water very quick and durable product. It doesn’t make my water taste funny or gross.

The kettle has a sleek, beautiful appearance and I like that it has nested cord storage so you don't need to keep a whole mess of cord out on your counter. Krups has a two year warranty and you can send it in for repairs; I like that the company sells parts and focuses on repairable appliances. It heats well. I don't have any issues with warping or splashing. There is a plastic catch for the lid in the spout but as far as I can tell water doesn't pass over it when you pour. The handle and buttons are well designed so there aren't issues like accidentally opening the lid or pressing buttons while you pour. It does have a few things that disappointed me. The handle is a silver-colored plastic and not stainless steel like I assumed without checking. That's minor, honestly. But I'm finding the keep warm function very annoying. It only lasts about 30 minutes which is not enough time for me to finish one cup and be ready for the next, nor is it enough time for one member of the household to set up the kettle and leave it warm for the other. It also turns off if you pick the kettle up. Something like 2 hours would be far preferrable to 30 minutes. While that frustrates me, I don't think it's bad enough to merit a return. I had a kettle that would keep warm indefinitely, but it broke quickly, and that company was impossible to get in touch with for repair. I'm sure a shorter keep warm cycle is good for the life of the appliance, but when it's this short, it might as well not exist- it doesn't have a use.

This works very nicely, it heats up quickly and I love how I can go from a low of 104 degrees, meaning I can use it for yeast, to boiling. I almost always use it at the 195 degree setting for coffee, sometimes one lower for hot chocolate. Also heats quickly enough that if you are in a rush for pasta, you can boil the water first in the kettle then pour it (carefully) into your pot to get a head start. The temperature is large and easy to read, and changes in real time while it heats up so that you can stop it at any temp along the way by removing it from the base. It has a 30-minute stay warm function, which is nice but would be even nicer if it were an hour or two. I LOVE how the double wall allows me to put a hand on the outside for stability without burning myself - it gets warm, but not hot to the touch. The spout is ok, sometimes it dribbles a little if you don't have it at the exact right angle. My previous electric kettle had a more accurate pour, but this one isn't bad. The lid will lift a little more manually for easier cleaning, although it stays angled and is not removable. I make sure to dry out the insides after using it (after allowing it to cool down) so that water doesn't sit in there and get disgusting, as it does in all kettles that aren't emptied of water and cleaned frequently. After about a month of use once daily, it started to get some scaling - easily cleaned with white vinegar per instructions in manual. I wanted to knock one star off because of the shiny black finish, which I find rather dated and cheap looking. If it were matte black (or gray or silver tone), it would be much more up to date in appearance and pleasant to look at. But that's just a visual preference, and the function of this electric kettle is deserving of five stars.

I was hopeful that this KRUPS kettle would be good and would last longer than any of the other half dozen I have purchased in the last decade. I'm convinced none are manufactured these days to last more than a year or two. If you're lucky. Upon receiving it, I immediately filled it to learn its features and to see how it worked. I was immediately disappointed (and a bit angry) to see that the handle was secured to the inside of the kettle by a large black piece of hard plastic. Yes, this plastic piece is above the waterline, however, the steam from heated water wets the plastic, and that moisture drips back down. Not good. That alone was a deal killer for me. I do NOT want any plastic inside a kettle that heats water. I would NOT have purchased the kettle had they shown the plastic inside of the otherwise stainless steel interior, or mentioned it in their description. I continued with the testing of the features. After several attempts at heating the water to 212 F degrees, the water never heated above 208 F degrees. It looked like it was boiling, but it never reached the 212-F point although the base indicated it had reached boiling point. I have an instant-read Thermoworks Thermapen and I have never had a reason to suspect it is not accurate. The next problem was with the 'stay-warm' setting. The kettle doesn't maintain the temperature automatically as stated in the manual. You have to play around with the button, and even then, I discovered the water temperature kept decreasing. It stayed at 205-F for a while (the manual states that is the highest degree it will stay warm at), but after a few minutes, the temperature began to decrease. There is nothing "easy-to-use" about this digital kettle's base or the instructions on how to set the stay-warm feature. It is difficult to see if the stay-warm light is on or not, or what it means when it is 'blinking.' I found both the base and the manual's instructions confusing and I'm not a luddite when it comes to electronics. When you lift the kettle off the base and then return it, you have to press the stay-warm feature again and hope it works (it didn't). But if it did, you'd still have to remember to push that button every time you lift to pour and return the kettle to the base. The black metal of the kettle is pleasing and the kettle is a good size -- a full liter. The base is shiny plastic which will easily scratch and show those scratches. Plus it doesn't match the kettle's matte finish. Odd decision there. The gooseneck spout is well-positioned and pours smoothly at a good speed. However, it took me less than an hour of testing to decide to return this kettle. I cannot recommend it.

Stainless steel, heats well, no leaking. Replaces my glass electric kettle, which was hotter to handle and harder to clean. I appreciate the quality. Highly recommend.

Over the years I have used the basic kettles for my tea. I drink black tea so the boil only option was fine. My most recent kettle started having issues with the power toggle not staying down I thought I would replace it with one that had more to offer. Temperature control and keep warm seemed like handy features to have. This kettle does that well, however some things I wish I had known before I bought this model. 1) Even empty it is heavy - I have fibromyalgia and the weight of this kettle empty can be problematic on a morning before my muscles have decided to function. Add the water and it is a two handed lift affair. Since this it is insulated/cool touch it isn't that big of an issue but given the amount of hot beverages I drink during the day I can see this may be more of a workout than I'd like it to be. 2) The handle - Most of the weight is in the bottom when full of water, the handle doesn't provide much in the way of balance when pouring. It is for sure a two handed process. 3) THE BEEP - I am awake at random hours and my spouse is not. We live in a small space and the beep to start and the double beep at the end is very loud. I wish I could disable that. 4) The height - I saw the measurements but didn't really think it would be a problem. It is about 4" taller than my last kettle. I kept it under my cabinet on my counter and it had plenty of space that the steam was not a problem. This one has to be pulled out away from my cabinets to use it. Given the size of the kettle and the small space that is my counter it tends to be in the way. It makes for a lot of moving back and forth throughout the day. 5) The lid - To open the lid you have to push a button inset in the lid. It sticks and doesn't open every time. You either have to push it several times to get it to unlatch or just use two hands and pull up on the lip of it at the spout while you push the button down. These aren't really deal-breakers, but things I wish I had known. I had already disposed of box it came in so a return is out of the question. I will keep using this until I can find one that is more fibro-friendly, but then it is being given away.

Tomen en cuenta que es de 1.7litros y tiene un diseño alto (la anterior que usaba era de 1.5lts mucho mas bajita) Normalmente yo hiervo el agua y tiene un boton directo para eso que es muy conveniente Tiene un display que va mostrando la temperatura en grados F Es rapida Dicen que la tapa no abre mucho, a mi me parece bien.. Por dentro es de metal, por fuera parece tener una cubierta de plastico En general se ve de muy buena calidad

Excelente producto seguro para usarse y hacer tizanas hay que tener cuidado con lácteos aún que no sean de origen animal ya que tiende hacer espuma

La bouilloire a un très beau design. Après utilisation, nous sommes satisfaits de son fonctionnement. Les matériaux pourraient toutefois être plus solide pour être plus durable. Elle est en aluminium mince et il y a beaucoup de plastique. La jonction en le goose neck et le corps de la bouilloire pourrait être améliorée. La base est bien et sinon le reste est vraiment bien. Un très bon rapport qualité-prix.

For years I refused to use an electric kettle, because I didn't want my hot water coming into contact with plastic (hello carcinogens!). Most kettles have a plastic viewing-window to indicate the water level, even if they're stainless steel. This is the first electric kettle I've encountered that doesn't boil your water in plastic - YAAAAY!!! It's so quick! I grind my coffee beans / pack them into my coffee maker, and the water's already boiled. I love seeing the temperature as it heats. The exterior looks completely black, but when you hold under direct light it's actually a translucent eggplant (little hidden surprise for people who appreciate colour). It might scratch, so I use an extra fine buffing cloth to dry the exterior. To keep the interior from getting cloudy scale buildup, I use 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water inside the kettle once per week and let it soak overnight. Vinegar & water mix can be reused many times if you dump it into a spare container. You can skip the vinegar bath, if you're not fussy. I paid around $95 CAD, more than I've spent on a kitchen gadget before. It's been the best purchase, completely worth it to me. I absolutely love this kettle.

Contenta con la compra, me gusta que no pida un mínimo de agua y el cable es lo suficientemente largo, viene enrollado abajo. He notado que no se apaga sola, en mi caso se bota la extensión y ya solo vuelvo a prenderla. Es extensión reguladora a la que la tengo conectada. La pedí negra y llegó blanca.
