4.0 out of 5 stars Just right for a cuppa, October 16, 2008

This review is from: Black & Decker CK1500 Cordless Electric 57-1/2-Ounce Dome Kettle, Brushed Stainless (Kitchen)

Having had two electric tea kettles break within a month, I went shopping for a new one. Of the three brands I looked at in the department store, including this one, all were manufactured in China. However, I haven't regretted my choice. It's a bit slow coming to the boil when full, and the button knob on the lid is rather small, but aside from those niggles, this is a nice unit. It has a brushed steel finish and is a bit on the heavy side even when empty, but I don't see that as a disadvantage as it can't be easily knocked over and it boils up quietly.

The power is supplied to the solid round base on which the kettle sits, so there's no cord attached to the kettle itself. The element is hidden in the base of the kettle, so there's no fussing with de-scalers and the inside of the kettle is easy to clean. A removable filter sits in the spout and the handle does not get hot. There's a see-through filler window on both sides of the unit, making it suitable for left- and right-handers.

All in all, good value for money.

This review is from: Black & Decker CK1500R Cordless Electric 57-1/2-Ounce Dome Kettle, Red (Kitchen)

i received this in october as a gift, and i've thoroughly enjoyed using it. this is the second electric kettle i've owned and the first made by black and decker.

unlike previous reviewers, i've had no problem filling the kettle with water. the faucet clears the rim by more than an inch.

yes, the kettle is hot to the touch. but it's stainless steel and filled with boiling water, so i didn't expect it to behave otherwise.

the lid fits firmly. i see that as a smart safety measure rather than a defect.

i haven't experienced any issues with hot steam so far. the placement of the handle is comfortable.

i have left standing water in it for several days at a time. so far, there's been no leaking out the bottom or the sides, but i am staying on the alert for it.

finally, it's really pretty. but that's just a perk.

4 years ago I gave this pot 5 stars and loved it. My mom is nearly blind and I got it for her. We've had the pot 4 years and it has started to leak at the bottom as described in other reviews, so I ammend my rating to 3 stars. It was a great pot for 4 years but I have now decided to go with the Hamilton Beach one and see how long it lasts. But in all fairness, this pot was used by my mom at least 2 times a day for 4 years.
