Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef's Choice 678 Cordless Electric Kettle
Customer Review: Overall disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
After two weeks of light usage, it started to show rust in 3 different spots inside the kettle along the bottom seam. The kettle worked fine, maybe a bit big and bulky for tea/coffee use. Measuring marks beneath the handle is basically useless because it has condensation in it the whole time.Customer Review: Powerful Water Kettle-Very Good, But Beware
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this kettle for my boyfriend to take to work to replace
a water kettle he has had for 25 years. It pulled so much power that
it shut several computers down in his work area. He had to bring it
home where we have been useing it with no problems. It does a
fantastic job boiling our tea water. Just make sure you plug it in
somewhere it is not going to throw the breakers.
Customer Review: Safe and convenient
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this teapot multiple times a day. It is fast and I love the fact that it shuts off after boiling if I walk away and forget that I turned it on.Customer Review: Shiny Kettle
Summary: 5 Stars
Great shiny kettle. Two improvements over the older one: metal cap, opens wider. The water readout is wider and easier to read also.Customer Review: So far an excellent product.
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't had this very long, so any durability issues will have to wait and if it craps out on us I will update the review.
So far it seems a fine kettle. It is lighter than I thought it would be, yet it is obviously well made, very sturdy. It is fast, it shuts off when the water is boiling, doesn't leak anywhere, easy to pour, no drips at the spout when pouring. The only reason I gave it a 4 and not a five is that the water level marks are hard to see. Not only is the lettering really really small, they are directly behind the handle and the level gets steamed. Not a huge problem and not one that can't be worked around easily. The opening is a little small and will be hard for me to clean, but again a workable problem. I boiled and discarded two pots before I used it and the water tasted fine. I have filtered water and I don't expect much of a scaling problem.
I really didn't realize what a convenience this would be, leaving a burner free for other things. Really happy I bought it, and I do recommend it highly. And of course Amazon's packing and shipping was excellent, no damage, and it came several days before the due date.
