Product Description

Toastess Cordless Electric Glass Kettle... compact appliance heats water extra fast! Boils faster than a microwave... safer, more efficient than a stove top! Time was when about the only instant item available was coffee. There are a ton of convenience, just-add-hot-water foods these days, and when you're in a hurry, they're mighty nice to have around! The rub is that boiling some water on the stove takes quite a while. Sure, the microwave is a lot faster... but not as fast as this nifty Cordless Electric Glass Kettle. This is a very economical way to boil water, so that's a good thing too. Oh by the way, when I say cordless, I mean that the Kettle itself isn't attached to a cord (the base is, of course) so you can lift the Kettle to pour real easy. An added bonus? You can place your order with full confidence... my 100% satisfaction guarantee backs this item like everything else you buy from me here at the Sportsman's Guide! Wow! Look here: Boils approximately 1 3/4 quarts fast! All the benefits of glass... elegant, clean and transparent; Advanced heating technology with concealed element resists scale and mineral build-up; Auto "boil and off" switch shuts kettle off when water starts boiling... quickly starts re-boiling at the touch of the switch; Kettle shuts off if plugged in dry; Removable Aquascreen filter ensures clean, scale-free water; Easy pour "flow control" spout; Does small jobs too... boils as little as 2 cups of water! Locking lid and "perfect pour" s

5.0 out of 5 stars Glass, and fast, March 8, 2006

I am well-pleased with this electric kettle. I conducted extensive research on line, and finally found a kettle that met my needs. At approx. $60 it was more than I intended to spend. I like the following features in the Toastess cordless electric glass kettle globe: glass instead of plastic; you can pick up the kettle off the base for pouring and filling; automatic shutoff; and it heats water fast! I also wanted a kettle that wasn't too large, and had a pleasant appearance. This kettle meets my needs while being attractive. It has a minimum fill line, which is approximately 16 ounces. Instructions indicate that you must fill to this level, at a minimum. Instructions also indicate that you should only fill it with water, which is fine for me, as I use it only for making tea. I haven't figured out what the metal sieve in the mouth of the kettle is intended to strain out.

NOTE: This product busted this winter. The base shorted out. I don't recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars If going for an electric tea kettle go for GLASS!!, December 11, 2005

This review is from: Toastess® Electric Glass Kettle

I bought this kettle 6 months ago and use it at least 4 times a day, for heating water for baby bottles, tea etc.. It works as predicted and expected. I was searching the internet specifically for a an electric kettle because a stove top steel kettle takes too long. I chose this kettle because it is all glass and as many may already know heating anything in plastic can be bad for your health. Always use glass!

One note to the manufacturer: 1)it would be nice in black. 2) When one picks up the kettle off its base and then puts it back on the base I wish it would immediately turn off rather than keep boiling until the auto switch feature shuts it off.

This review is from: Toastess® Electric Glass Kettle

I found this kettle to be well built. The wide base helps avoiding tipping when the kettle is set down off its base. The glass bowl gives you confidence that the water is clean! Be aware this kettle isn't 100% glass - the heating base (bottom of bowl) appears to be stainless steel. (In the last similar appliance I had, the heating element was a loop in the water hidden from view. Although that appliance heated faster, when it failed, I opened it and was disgusting to see the crud that had accumulated on the heating element.) There are two small disadvantages to the Toastess design - 1) it gets quite noisy when the water approaches boiling due to the heating bottom acting as a sounding board (then it gets much quieter as boiling begins) and 2) the glass bowl is somewhat heavier than an equivalent plastic kettle. But the big advantage is - you can S*E*E that the contents are clean.
