Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With its 1-4/7-quart capacity and 1500 watts of power, this cordless electric jug kettle provides one of the safest, fastest, and most economical ways to boil water for instant coffee, tea, cocoa, packaged soup mixes, and more. At the touch of a switch, it begins the boiling process with faster results than with stovetop or microwave methods. The unit will even boil as little as 2 cups, which makes it great for one person. When the water starts to boil, the jug automatically shuts off. For added safety, it will also shut itself off if the kettle is plugged in without any water inside. Other highlights include a concealed stainless-steel heating element that resists corrosion and scale build-up, an easy-to-read water-level window, a hinged lid that snaps tightly into place, a stay-cool handle, and a cordless design for convenient serving. The electric jug kettle measures 5-1/2 by 9-2/7 by 10-4/5 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality & safety features, January 2, 2007

This review is from: Toastess TJK-28W 1500-Watt 1-4/7-Quart Cordless Electric Jug Kettle (Kitchen)

I really like this product, especially for the affordable price. Here are the positives & negatives I've experienced ...

Pros:

1. Boils water FAST and it's quiet too. Perfect for the office.

2. Great safety features. You really want a cordless unit for easier/safer filling and pouring, and the auto-shutoff and on/off indicator light do work exactly as described. Also, the spout has a mesh shield and a plastic guard that prevent water from splashing out while boiling. Overall, no need to worry about accidents.

3. The plastic view-window with volume markings is on both sides of the unit, so you can see the water level from any angle.

4. Convenient storage: Relatively small footprint, and the cord wrap on the base, minimize counter clutter.

Cons:

1. It takes about 2 cups of water to cover the heating element, which can be less convenient if you just want a cup of tea.

2. The cord is only about 3 feet long. Fine for kitchen counters, but less so if you're using your office wall outlets/power strips.

3. The lid on mine sticks on one side, so I have to push to snap it into place (might just be mine though).

Overall I really like this kettle's quality & convenience. You can find pricier ones, but for the money, this one has all the necessary features and then some.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT KITCHEN HELPER!, May 6, 2006

This review is from: Toastess TJK-28W 1500-Watt 1-4/7-Quart Cordless Electric Jug Kettle (Kitchen)

I absolutely love my toastess kettle. The water boils fast, there's an automatic shut-off, and being cordless, I can heat up water and then set it on the table for dinner. We use ours to help boil water faster for pasta, for soups, for tea, and for hot cocoa. I'm planning on getting one for my mother for Mother's Day because it has really taken the stress out of putting the tea water on in the morning and forgetting about it (we're both famous for this). I probably would have burned the house down by now with a regular kettle. This is definitely a keeper!

3.0 out of 5 stars The Heating Element is NOT Concealed, April 18, 2007

Although one of the Product Features (as of today) says "Concealed stainless-steel heating element resists corrosion and scale build-up," it is not true. The heating element does look like stainless steel, but the whole thing is entirely visible when you open the lid and look inside the kettle. Also, although it is cordless, the electric contact between the base and the kettle is not located in the center of a round base but on the side of the oval base. I have to pay attention to the location of the contact before I dock the kettle back to the base.
