Cuisinart PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle

This is my first electric kettle for making tea so I don't have any reference points. It is very sturdy and I like the wireless feature for lifting the kettle off the stand. I'm not sure how much I'll use the many temp settings since I drink mostly black tea but I guess it's nice to have.

I got this couple days ago it got to me pretty quickly love it works really well for tea with the different temp settings.

  Faster Boiling Be Nice

Yes, it was thoroughly cleaned, multiple times. About a week or so after use some really odd smelling gunk started to swell up in the seam at the very bottom of the pot (inside) and I tried to clean it using vinegar and whatever it was started to disintegrate and was so nasty and toxic smelling I...

I love this product, use it daily, would absolutely buy it again and recommend it to friends

  Quick heating, six temperature presets, "keep warm" option, temperature memory feature.

  Temperature presets wear off buttons after some use(less than one year).

Never though I would say this, but I miss this kettle. That's right a kettle! It has just the perfect options and the tea really does taste better at the correct brewing temp. Might just go out and purchase another one!

  Ability to set temp for verious teas Keeps the temp you want for half an hour, if desired Looks great Blue led for the window is a nice touch

  2 weeks after purchase, it stopped heating up water. The electronics we're on as indicated by buttons and lights

The automatic reboil feature means that you have to remember to switch it off after you’ve used it which is irritating to say the least. This is the first automatic kettle I’ve ever had to switch off, far from being energy efficient it is driving me mad. I doubt I will ever use all the temp options.

When our old Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp 1.7-Liter Stainless Steel Cordless Electric Kettle finally reached the end of its all too brief lifespan (3 years) we decided to explore a few alternatives to see if there might be anything better available, something equally efficient, but more durable.

  It works great and it looks great as well..

  Do not touch the outside ... when the inside water is hot.

I typically do not choose the most expensive model since price isn't always an indicator of best functionality. I choose this becasue of the features and reviews it received. I found it a bit awkward to understand how to stop it from heating/ keeping it warm after I poured it.

This is great because I can heat the water to the right temperature for the type of tea I am making. I love that I don't have to worry about it boiling dry and getting ruined. The keep warm feature is great, I can start the kettle and take the dog for a walk and when I get back, the water is ready...
