stylish and fast,November 24, 2009
By Lennonsnanafrom New London, NH
"I love this kettle. This is my second -- the first met with an untimely accident when someone placed it on the gas burner! I reviewed all of the other options but still came back to this one - I just like the way it looks and it boils water so quick that I when I was without it, I really missed it. It cleans up easily and works great -- what more could you want?"

Too hot to handle,October 11, 2007
By RonsRonifrom Long Island, NY
"This is, without a doubt, the most superior electric kettle I have had the pleasure of using. I like tea. No. I LOVE tea. Hot, steamy tea in the morning is a wonderful thing. This is the BEST way to heat my water for that lovely "cuppa" that I enjoy daily, at least. I use it to heat water for cocoa and to boil for the stove because it is faster. I LOVE the shut-off feature and I gave one to my 90 year young mother... just in case she dozes off, the house will not burn down! It is a great gift and the three people I have given it to swear by it. I was introduced to it in Georgia while my dear friend was recovering from surgery. I went to the home to help her and her mom had one in her kitchen; some 17 years old and it performed LIKE NEW. Thank you for this great item. I LOVE it!"

CC Electric Kettle has filled 1000 cups with joy!,November 14, 2006
By tress1954from Towson
"I had gone through two other tea kettles this past year before The Cuisinart Electric Kettle. No joking when I say this is the greatest tea kettle in heat temperature and style . In fact I am ordering another one for my art studio. Water heats quicker then a stove or microwave;turning off itself at boiling point. No worry of burning kettles. You just fill with water and press down a knob. The water is hot sooner than preparing your cup of tea or coffee. I'm sticking to what I know has no flaws. I've even given up soda's for a nice cup of hot tea."

Great little teapot,March 15, 2010

"This electric teapot works exactly as I anticipated. My only disappointment was that there is no way that you can view the amount of water remaining in the teapot."

The Best,December 31, 2009
By canyoutopthisfrom PA
"This is my favorite appliance - I not only use it for water for my tea or instant coffee but I use it when I need water for pasta, etc. because it is so fast (and much faster than my glass ccoktop) and it shuts off when it's done!!!! Love it!"

No-Watch Hot Water,November 17, 2009
By Modelshopperfrom Cincinnati, OH
"I've had this kettle for two years and I'm buying a second to take to work. It's great because you can fill it, turn it on, and come back at your next break to hot water. It turns itself off when it reaches a boil and can be set on the table without a hot pad. I got one for my elderly mom who lives alone, knowing that if she forgot about it, there would be no repercussions. I love that it looks like a tea kettle but with more convenience than a stove-top model. Practically perfect in every way!"

Great kettle ... until it lasted.,October 28, 2009
By Chicharonfrom Bothell, WA
"This kettle was great until it lasted. We bought it in 2007 and it is now 2009 when it finally gave out. Not sure why the power light and power no longer works.
We loved it for oatmeal, coffee for the french press, tea, cooking and other cooking/baking needs that required hot water in an instant. Power shuts off automatically. We use this thing from morning until night. Not sure if we will get another one. Trying to see if Cuisinart will honor a warranty. To be determined...
We would have given it 5 stars if it lasted more than two years."

Switch breaks after 12-18 months,June 14, 2009
By MatthewH
"We have gone through two of these kettles in 2.5 years. The first was replaced under warranty. The on/off switch on both broke after about 1 year. We were told by the manufacturer that this is a known defect. We were otherwise happy with the product and will likely keep replacing them under warranty until Cuisinart discontinues the product or fixes the problem."

Stellar Kettle!,June 4, 2009
By Anonymousfrom Chapel Hill, NC
"This kettle is outstanding. It boils water very quickly; it takes only five minutes to bring a full kettle of cold water to a rolling boil. The cordless feature is wonderful. Just lift the kettle off its stand and take it anywhere in the house. Best off, it still looks like a kettle. A perfect blend of old and new."

Bad design,April 10, 2009
By smartnogginfrom Los Angeles, CA
"We originally loved this cute little kettle. Unfortunately, it has a few design flaws. After about 6 months of using it daily, it stopped working. We called Cuisinart and they replaced it for free within 2 weeks. Unfortunately, the same thing happened again today. There is a problem with the connection in the conductor in the base. It stops making a connection with the main unit and won't turn on when you press down the lever.
Another flaw, is that there is no way to appropriately clean the residue that forms inside the kettle. After a lot of use, you'll get scaling. And, the scaling starts to break off and float around in the water. We're going to try another brand and see if we can find one that works better."

Love This!,March 25, 2009
By Sarah82from Oakland, CA
"I have admired this ever since my parents bought it and I have wanted it for so long that I finally bought it. It is pricy, but trust me this is an investment if you are a daily tea drinker like my husband and I. It boils the water fast and without using too much energy compared to the stovetop kettle. I’m ecstatic to have my own and will use this for years to come."

Best Kettle Ever!,March 23, 2009
By My3Boysfrom Austin, TX
"I bought this kettle a few years back and have given a couple as gifts. Everyone loves it! I bought one for my 85 year old grandma who has forgotten to turn off her stove top kettle a few times and nearly burned her house down. This has literally been a life saver for her.
It is quick and easy to use. Well worth the cost and I highly recommend it!"

MORNING DELIGHT,March 17, 2009
By Macharafrom Aptos, CA
"I am loving this stainless kettle! It's so pretty, clean, quiet and quick.......I live upstairs from the main kitchen so I push the ON button, in no time I have fresh pressed coffee and back to bed for the morning news. I got lucky at the 11th hour of the sale but it's well worth the full price. It's easy to handle too, lightweight, no steam or drips. THE PERFECT GIFT TO MYSELF! It will make a great gift for anyone too. Everything Cuisinart makes seems to be awesome. Thanks for the sale Macys!"

LOVE!,December 29, 2008
By IslandChicafrom Seattle, WA
"I love this tea kettle! I have always been wary of electric kettles but I got this for Christmas and decided to give it a try. It heats up the water so quickly. The bottom does not get hot so it is can be set down on any surface without worrying about damage. I love that the cord is not attached to the actual kettle, so the kettle maintains its clean look. I love this and won't go back to the traditional stove kettle."

Elegant and Efficient !,December 5, 2008
By Elegantshopperfrom WI
"I bought this kettle after reading the reviews. It is all I ever want in an electric kettle; fast, quiet and looks beautiful on my kitchen counter. I am a tea drinker and love using my electric kettle for a fast cuppa! The non-spill spout and sure grip handle are very helpful and the price is very attractive. I highly recommend this kettle to anyone who is looking for a good-looking, quiet and very fast-boiling kettle."
