Cuisinart PerfecTemp 1.7L Cordless Electric Tea Kettle, 1500W Fast Heat-Up, 6 Preset Temperatures, 30-Min Keep Warm, Stay-Cool Nonslip Handle (CPK-17C)

Initially loved the kettle. Just over a month of having it, it stopped boing. It would turn on but not come to a full boil before it shut off. I was about 2 weeks past return date. Very disappointed especially given the cost of it.

Good kettle, several different boiling temperatures. It works well and is generally reliable, 'but' this is my 2nd Cuisinart Electric Kettle in 5 years. The kettle leaks water all over the counter posing an electrical hazard. I think that the leak is coming from the plastic water level indicator window. I ordered another one hoping that this flaw has been corrected. The water is not leaking through the stainless steel and I only use filtered tap water in it to block any chemicals that might exist and affect the kettle and myself. The 'keep warm' feature is a nice touch. I recommend this kettle, only keep an eye on it when it reaches 5 years old. This kettle has had heavy use, perhaps that contributed to the water leaking. On further checking of the owner's manual, I see that it comes with a 3 year guarantee exceeding that by 2 years. Other more expensive kettles on Amazon come with a 5 year guarantee. So on that basis, I'll give it 4 stars. One recommendation though, with so much electronics in this kettle, I am using an electric surge protector strip to plug it into, to avoid any trouble in that regard to protect it from any power surges and avoid problems in that often overlooked area. Of course as with anything "Made in China", you take your chances. Based on other reviewers negative responses, I consider myself lucky. Quality control with Chinese made products is always 50/50.

This kettle is perfect for making various kinds of tea. It keeps the water hot and controls the temperature. I’ve had this kettle for three years now.
