Cuisinart Electric Tea Kettle (Refurbished)

Rating

HEAVY. All stainless steel-no plastic inside.Heats up quickly.LOOKS GREAT!I researched electric tea kettles before I purchased this. Glad I found it at a great price. You cannot tell it was "refurbished". Nothing is wrong with it and I have had it since beginning of December and use it all the time.

It says it is refurbished, but it looks brand new and works perfectly. Make hot water in very little time. The stainless steel finish is very attractive. I will buy more for gifts.

This is a really great kettle. It looks beautiful in my kitchen, and goes well with my stainless steel appliances. I use it at least three times a day as tea is my caffeine of choice. It clicks off as soon as the water is boiled so it's impossible to boil the kettle dry, which would ruin the appliance and could be dangerous. Its base plugs in to the wall, but I love that I am free to move around the kitchen with the kettle. It is stainless steel inside and out, which is important because water doesn't pick up any unwanted tastes such as plastic (which could also be unhealthy). My only disappointment was that I would have preferred if the clear water level gauge at the back of the kettle had been measured in cups as well as liters; and I would have liked to have been able to see the amount lower than 1.3 liters (I have to guess 2 cups). Having said that, I used to have a Braun that had that feature, but it caused Braun's design to be flimsier, resulting in their switch mechanism breaking irreparably. This Cuisinart kettle seems not to have that design flaw in its switch. Overall, I am more than happy with the kettle, and I know the price was at least $20 less than in stores. I was worried about the refurbished aspect of the deal, but my kettle seemed new and pristine when I got it two months ago, and it works great.
