2.0 out of 5 stars Boiling Water is One of Life's Essential Activities, January 15, 2003

This review is from: Krups 848 -70Aqua Control Compact Cordless Electric 4.4-Cup Kettle, White (Kitchen)

I first purchased an electric kettle for my aged mother. One day she absent-mindedly left her tea kettle boiling away on the stove (it became part of the stove). Now if she forgets about the kettle, there isn't any danger of the house burning down as these kettles automatically turn off after the water boils. Which brings me to my gripe with this kettle. The base is so light weight and unstable that it can easily move around when one tries to replace the kettle. The last thing you want is an unstable surface and a kettle full of boiling water. The Braun model is much sturdier, with a firm base, but it is very large.

3.0 out of 5 stars Water Gauge Warning, September 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Krups 848 -70Aqua Control Compact Cordless Electric 4.4-Cup Kettle, White (Kitchen)

This is a lovely kettle for boiling water fast, but please by warned (as I should have been by a review I read here) that the water gauge comes loose for no apparent reason, causing the kettle to leak all over the kitchen counter and rendering it useless. And after only 4 months of use.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible piece of Krups, May 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Krups 848 -70Aqua Control Compact Cordless Electric 4.4-Cup Kettle, White (Kitchen)

Got this abomination for X-mas as a present. It worked for a couple weeks quite nicely, and then boiling water started leaking from the bottom. As one of the previous reviewers noted, the tubing in the measuring chamber comes off, particularly when the water is hot. Krups' advice? Push it back in. Right. And the puddle of boiling hot water hopefully won't hurt anyone in the house every time this kettle leaks. Waiting for the official recall to return this thing. Or maybe a class action suit. Do not buy, this appliance is dangerous!
