Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
An electric version of the original Ottoni Stovetop Kettle, this compact cylindrical kettle boasts the same sparse post-modernist ‘70s design with whimsical touches such as the mystical blue-beaded lid handle and a row of raised dots hammered into the steel around its upper circumference. However, the kettle also has a function: its slightly wider base directs heat upward so water boils faster than in other kettles. Even more, its stainless-steel heating element sits below a stainless-steel plate to ensure maximum surface contact between the hot metal and water. The kettle quickly and efficiently boils up to 51 ounces of water for tea, hot cocoa, and more. For safety, its automatic shut-off function turns the unit off once the water boils or if the heating element overheats. Other highlights include a durable plastic loop handle, a lift-off lid for easy refilling, and a removable scale filter in the spout for better-tasting beverages, as well as a base unit for cordless operation, a simple on/off switch, and brilliantly polished stainless-steel construction that will nicely compliment any kitchen decor. To clean, wipe the outside of the kettle with a damp cloth and descale as needed. The fully automatic electric water kettle measures 10-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 7-4/5 inches and carries a two-year warranty.
Product Description
The Bodum Ottoni Electric Water Kettle is an offshoot of the original Ottoni Stovetop Kettle initially produced by Bodum in 1986. The Electric Ottoni is fully automatic, providing all the comfort and advantages of an electric water kettle. In designing the Electric Ottoni, Bodum kept the playful post-modernistic look of the original stovetop version and utilized most of the material previously used, such as stainless, while adding a new handle made of plastic. To minimize energy consumption, the Ottoni's stainless steel heating element is concealed underneath a stainless steel plate to maximize the surface contact between the hot metal and the water. The auto shut-off feature insures that the Ottoni is switched off when the water boils or if the heating element overheats. This protects the kettle from damage and indicates a high safety standard. Bodum has integrated a removable scale filter in the spout that retains calcium deposits and prevents water from being tainted. In addition, the Electric Ottoni is cordless, reducing the risk of the unit becoming entangled in the cord. An indicator on top shows the maximum capacity of 1.5l/51oz.

Expensive and does not live to expectations,
By Ash (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bodum 10552-16US Ottoni Cordless 51-Ounce Electric Water Kettle (Kitchen)
On the positive side, this is beautifully designed kettle and well constructed of stainless steel, which is what I was expecting after paying a whooping $179 for a kettle.
However if like me, you were willing to pay such a price for a mere kettle in the hope of having an all metal kettle with no plastic parts, you would be disappointed: the water level is metal; the filter is cheap plastic but it is removable; however the inside of the lid is a black plastic on which water condenses and this for me was unacceptable for this price range. I fail to understand manufacturers who can be so greedy on their profits so much so that they have to cut costs by substituting with cheap plastic even when asking for a premium price. Also kettle is made in China, so must not have cost Bodum half the asking price....For $50 I could find an all metal kettle with a few plastic points, so I had to return this kettle back. Not good enough, so until someone comes up with a kettle that takes into account the concerns of customers, I will have to wait and settle for a stovetop kettle...

Not Good,
This review is from: Bodum 10552-16US Ottoni Cordless 51-Ounce Electric Water Kettle (Kitchen)
Bought product hoping for expectation of quality, and as an almost all metal kettle for worry over plastics leaching into drinking water. Well, besides plastic interior parts, the real issue is that after only 4 months of usage, boiling water on average of 3-4 times daily, the unit stopped functioning. Evidently, the switch mechanism broke, and understanding the difficulty (if not impossibility) of attempting a return, I gave up on the product. The search for the perfect, functioning, durable, and non chemical leaching kettle continues... A real disappointment for the high price. Seems like the manufacturers do not bother to read customer feedback such as found on Amazon. If they did, they might corner the market with a great product! Too bad, as most Bodum products are of good quality. Perhaps boldly attempt to manufacture a better unit here in the USA with high quality parts and labor.

This review is from: Bodum 10552-16US Ottoni Cordless 51-Ounce Electric Water Kettle (Kitchen)
I love this electric water kettle. It heats the water quickly and gets to just the right temperature. Because you can remove it from it's base heating plate it is portable and can be put on any surface without harm to the counter or table. I have hard water and this kettle has a screen that collects the hard water deposits so the water seem to taste better. It's also very stylish. Great electric water kettle.
