Product Description
Color: Black
The Bodum Bistro Cordless Electric Water Kettle is the quickest and safest, as well as the most energy efficient, way of boiling your water. It allows you to heat only what you need, for only the amount of time it takes to bring the water to its boiling point. It has a 34-ounce, 1.0-litre fill capacity with a see-through, easy-to-read water level indicator. The measurements are 'translated' to cup servings to make it extra easy when preparing coffee and tea. The kettle features push button power and auto-shutoff and is made entirely from BPA-free plastic. Additionally, the powerful heating element is concealed under a stainless steel plate at the bottom of the kettle. The Bodum Bistro Cordless Electric Water Kettle is available in three sizes: 17-ounce, 34-ounce and 51-ounce as well as five vibrant colors: Black, Red, Orange, Green and White. Bodum Bistro Cordless Electric Water Kettles feature a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.

(What's this?)
I currently have a T-Fal variable speed tea kettle and so did some direct comparisons between the two. The Bodum lagged in all. It took the T-Fal 2 min 19 sec to boil .5 liters and 3 min 35 seconds to boil a liter. The Bodum took 3 min 17 sec and 5 min 47 sec respectively, a significant difference and one that would certainly be noticeable while waiting. The greater size of the T-Fal is preferable to me as well--the Bodum tops out at the one liter mark, but others may not need a large kettle.
The Bodum is definitely lighter and if someone is concerned about weight, the Bodum wouldn't be a problem at all. It has a relatively small footprint, though not really significantly smaller than my T-Fal.
In general then, with the speed, size, and variabilty--I'd aim people to the T-Fal. But by far the biggest concern I had with the Bodum was its strange propensity to stay on even after boiling. On two occasions the kettle either stayed on or came back on and got hot well after I'd boiled and poured out the water. During my testing I ended up unplugging it every time just to ensure this not happening again. I don't know if this was a singular flaw or something that is a feature of all of them, but it's certainly cause for concern

There's nothing to it really, an electric water heater so I don't have to light up the stove, wonder if there's a small clean pot, stand there until it boils or forget and let it boil over, etc.
You fill this up, push the ON button, after it boils it turns off. You lift the pot off the base and pour over teabag or into steeping pot, whatever.
I like it because it's green and modern looking. Functionality is so basic there's nothing to complain about.
Like the previous reviewer, I noticed there was no specific OFF button (just the ON button) But the auto shut off worked fine. If you're worried about auto shutoff not working soon enough, unplug after the water has boiled. I don't want bells and whistles, literally, on my tea-pot. One switch is great and the size is perfect for a family of four at breakfast. It's not like we're trying to boil water for spaghetti!
Looks like someone beat me to a 5 star review, but I'm sure we are both very pleased we purchased the product regardless of the negative review.

This kettle looked so cute and modern that I ignored the reviewers who claimed the fact that there is no "off" button is extremely dangerous. how bad could that really be, right? I bought the red color and thought it looked so perfect in my kitchen. HOWEVER, when my husband woke up to find the kettle STILL BOILING from the night before (though the water had long since evaporated)- he quickly plugged it out of the wall, and it is now on its way back to amazon. not only is this extremely dangerous, but it's also extremely costly! and explains the exorbitant electricity bill we recently received. who knows how many times the kettle stayed on boil for WAY over a minute.
I agree with the reviewer who said this item should be recalled- it's completely unsafe.

Total Failure
Two kettles. Two failures. Six months. Both simply stopped working. The only reason I got the second one is that the store replaced the first. Even a free one isn't worth it. Read more

Looks nice, don't buy it!
