Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kalorik JK-20461 1100-Watt Silver Line 2-Quart Cordless Jug Kettle
Customer Review: Perfect performance!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was exactly what I was looking for. I'm not too fond of "no-name" appliances, but was willing to give it a go since the other reviews were much better than comparable name brand products which were significantly higher priced.
Works perfectly as described.
The large lid, though a little cheesy as others have said, makes filling very easy. Yeah, the element is exposed, so we'll all use our brains and not stick our hands in the pot (duh). This pot specifically says the coil is nickel, and not aluminum. I don't like to mess with aluminum cooking utensils, and am pleased.
The water-level window on the side is LARGE and easy to see. You can even watch the water boil.
The measure marks leave somewhat to be desired. They mark ".5 quarts, 1 quart, 1.5 quarts, 2 quarts." I would have preferred it mark off 2, 4, 6, and 8 cups instead. The marks are oval, so they don't really show exactly where "1.5 quarts" is. Also the max. and min. marks are sorta vague too. None of this is really a problem, but just a slight annoyance while I'm getting used to it.
The on/off switch is big and simple to use, the "on" light is big and easy to see, the handle is comfortable and easy to grip, the spout doesn't dribble, the pot slips easily onto its base, the auto cut-off turns it off almost immediately after the water reaches a full boil, the safety switch doesn't allow the pot to be turned on when the pot is dry (unlike our old Sunbeam), and value of being cordless cannot be overstated.
I followed the instructions to "season" the pot before using it (run a full pot of fresh water four times before the first use). The first run smelled strongly of plastic, but subsequent pots were odorless, and there is no lingering plastic smell or taste.
Five stars. What more can I say?
Description of Kalorik JK-20461 1100-Watt Silver Line 2-Quart Cordless Jug Kettle
With 1100 watts of power, this electric kettle boils up to 55 ounces of water quickly and easily, producing hot water for tea, hot chocolate, and instant soup in half the time of a microwave oven. Its cordless design allows for lifting the kettle off its base for enhanced mobility or serving guests at the table. The unit's durable nickel-plated heating element resists staining, while its removable, washable, mesh water filter reduces lime scale in beverages. The hot-water kettle also features a hinged lid for convenient cleaning and filling, and a water-level window for an accurate water fill. A power "on" indicator light and an automatic shut-off switch with boil-dry protection ensure added safety. Other highlights include a generous handle, a drip-free spout for graceful pouring, and cord storage to help keep countertops tidy. The cordless jug kettle measures 8-2/3 by 6-2/3 by 9-2/5 inches and carries a one-year warranty.Teakettles & Hot Pots
