Product Description
This unique looking small appliance is actually a cordless jug kettle that boils water faster than a microwave oven or a stovetop burner. It quickly starts the boiling process at the touch of a switch - it will even boil as little as two cups so it's great for one person only. And for added safety, the jug kettle shuts itself off automatically when the water starts to boil; it will also shut itself off if the kettle is plugged in while dry. The special stainless steel heating element resists corrosion and scale buildup. Please note: Teakettle is cordless, but heating element requires an electrical outlet. Does not whistle.

 Very poor quality February 25, 2010
Andrew M. Foster (TN, USA)
I'm English so a tea kettle is an important appliance to me. Our Toastess tea kettle worked ok for several months and then started randomly shutting off, or powering on and boiling water - it seemed to have some kind of switch problem. We did some research and found out what Ken Marks reports too, that Toastess warranty issues are handled by Fox International. We emailed them several times and got no response and our calls went unanswered for weeks. When we finally got in contact with Fox they had us send the kettle power cord back to them after cutting it off the kettle. We then waited weeks and weeks for them to decide to replace it under warranty. They sent us a new kettle of the same model. After just a few more months, the lid catches have stopped working and we have to pry the top open to fill it with water. I'd recommend you buy some other brand. The Toastess kettles are poor quality and their customer service is terrible.
 Worked great for 7 months September 5, 2007

This kettle did everything it is supposed to flawlessly...for 7 months. Then it just quit. The switch no longer turned it on or the overheat switch is preventing it from turning on.
Appearantly "Toastess" is not a real brand name. This is a Chinese-made import item from Fox International. I sent mine in for repair under the one year warranty. No shipping label is available and so I had to spend more than one third its new value on return postage alone... We will see how the repair or replacement goes.
Update: It is now December and I still don't have a kettle.
After they had it a month, they determined that the kettle needed to be replaced (hey, don't rush on my account). Now it is two more months later and four calls so far and I still don't have a replacement...
So the moral is spend a little more and get a brand name kettle by a reputable company...
