Potential hazard confirmed,

This review is from: Melitta MEK17W 1.7-Liter Express Kettle (Kitchen)
Some reviews here say that the auto-shutoff may be unreliable. I boiled a liter of water to test this. It shut off after 10 seconds of vigorous boiling. I repeated the experiment with the spout filter removed. It failed to shut down automatically - I switched it off after 30 seconds of rolling boil. Same with the lid open.The spout filter is easily dislodged. This happened to me the very first time I filled the kettle. I have not observed that the lid closure is unreliable. I like this kettle and will continue to use it with caution.

Good Kettle, Not really express,
By Lizbeth "Medical Student" (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Melitta MEK17W 1.7-Liter Express Kettle (Kitchen)
I hesitated to buy this kettle when my hot pot broke after years of college use because of some of the negative reviews, but I was desparate. It was the weekend when my hot pot broke, and I cannot make it through 8:30 Anatomy class without my cup of coffee. It was also the only one at Target that wasn't the $10 kind that I broke from daily use.So far I've had it for a couple of months and have encountered no problems. I fill it up in the morning. Boil some water and make my morning cup of Joe. The automatic stop always works, and I don't have a problem with it at all. I use it on average 2 times a day. Once in the morning for coffee and then once in the evening for tea. Doesn't show any sign of giving out any time soon. The only complaint I have about this kettle is that it is not really express. I try not to boil more water than I need to cut down on the time it takes to boil my water. It does take a bit of time to boil the water, but I am always multitasking so it's not a huge deal. I have never needed to boil more than 1.0 L max of water. But I've watched this kettle before and I would never boil the 1.75 L max that they have marked. It looks dangerous and prone to boiling over.

Excellent kettle, especially for the price!,
By zbuddha (New York, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Melitta MEK17W 1.7-Liter Express Kettle (Kitchen)
A friend has been using this kettle for close to 5 years, and I bought this on his recommendation. I've had it for 6 months now, and it works flawlessly. The kettle is very safe to use, especially when you pour out the hot water. A couple of times, though, the auto shut-off feature did not work properly. The second time this happened I figured out that each of those times the lid had not been pressed shut. Since then, I make sure the lid is pressed down when I turn the kettle on and it has been working flawlessly. Plus, its relatively easy to clean.As far as aesthetics and build quality are concerned, I am very picky and this kettle has been more than satisfactory on both counts.
