 Love it December 1, 2008

I have had this kettle for a year. I have had no difficulties with the unit. Both the lid a cord of mine work just fine. I use this kettle at least twice a day, love it and I am purchasing one for my mom for Christmas.

Cuisinart RK-17 Traditional Cordless 1-3/4-Quart 1500-Watt Electric Kettle
We have had the Tea Kettle for a few months. It works great and is much easier to keep clean than the plastic one we prevously owned. The style is just right for a traditional kitchen. We enjoy it on a daily basis.
 Looking for plastic-free? Then this one's not for you! November 6, 2008

If I had only known before buying this kettle that the boiling water comes into contact with plastic AND a rubber/silicone gasket, it would have spared me the trouble of buying it in the first place.
If this is a concern for you, avoid this kettle. There is both a rubber or silicone gasket inside the kettle at the base and a water level marker made of plastic. Both of these come into contact with boiling water. The strainer, which is also plastic, can be removed.
A couple more things:
-The kettle is quite LARGE - one of the larger ones I've seen.
-The directions say to empty out the extra water after each use. What?! Am I supposed to measure exactly what I need or pour the excess filtered water down the drain? In my opinion, neither of those is a welcome option. I prefer to simply leave the water sitting for the next use.
If you're looking for plastic free, I recently discovered and subsequently purchased such a kettle on Amazon:
The Chef's Choice 685 International Deluxe Cordless Electric Teakettle
The only piece of plastic sits above the water so that the two do not come into contact...Simply perfect for my coffee and tea!

Stylish, elegant, does the job! October 3, 2008

I like this product very much...the on/off switch is a little sensitive and tends to pop up and switch off if you don't hold it down for a second when you depress it. Other than that (a very minor detail), it's great.
great September 18, 2008

its so cute! heats up fast.
for those avoiding plastic, there are two small plastic pieces (the screen and the max water level) - both are removable.
perfect.
