" ... I bought this on August 6, it quit working on Dec 2. ... "
" ... Unfortunately, after 15 months, it started losing its ability to heat. ... "
" ... Died after 6 months ... "
" ... Purchased August 2019, and the kettle after four months, has suddenly stopped working at all and I have had no success getting Customer Service on the phone. ... Very disappointing, particularly when the product functioned fine when first purchased. ... "
" ... However, I am giving it 2 stars beacuse it stopped working just within a year. ... "
" ... For the price of this product, I was shocked when it broke after 9 months. ... "
" ... However, after a few minutes it switched back on. ... "

" ... My kettle stayed hot after water has boiled. ... "
" ... Heats up fast, easy to read water gauge, easy to understand controls. ... "
" ... Great to be able to heat water for my tea at less than a boil! ... "
" ... We even use this electric kettle for our chemistry class instead of heating water over a Bunsen burner, as it is safer and much quicker. ... It is still safer and quicker than boiling water in a pot on the stove. ... "
" ... It heats very quickly! ... "
" ... Water heats up quickly and there are multiple settings to control the temperature of the water. ... "
" ... It holds more water than the 48 ounce max of the Capresso (Cuisinart holds up to 1.75 liters), heats even the full 1.75 liters quickly and i really like the “keep warm” feature. ... "
" ... This is the first kettle we've had so I can't speak from much experience, but according to reviews this heats up as fast or slightly faster than most others. ... Obviously the more water there is in the kettle the longer it takes to heat. ... This is single wall stainless steel which is quick to conduct heat. ... "

" ... This is my second Cuisinart kettle. ... "
" ... Cuisinart has impressed us with this and we lean heavily toward their products because of it. ... "
" ... This kettle replaced a stovetop kettle I had. ... "
" ... We use the Cuisinart kettle 3-4 times a day for teas, instant cereal, cocoa, ramen noodles, etc. ... I got my first after getting spoiled in other countries by convenient "hot pots". ... "
" ... I can have a lovely tea faster than boiling it on the stove. ... "
" ... Awesome tea kettle ... "

" ... Like that different temperature modes are available to make perfect tea. ... "
" ... The keep warm feature is an added bonus. ... "
" ... I don't care about having a skinny spout or setting an exact temperature - my old kettle had both of these features and I don't see the advantage. ... "
" ... I am not a fan of the blue light, since I use fresh water each time, but it would be a handy feature for someone who likes to keep water warm for a period of time. ... "
" ... All the features! ... "
" ... The temperature control features are great, as is the backlight and the "keep warm" setting. ... "
" ... I like all the features it has I love the temperature control setting because I don’t have to turn it on again & again when I am making a few cups of tea I highly recommend this brushed stainless steel electric kettle ... "
" ... To save it - and a bit on my electric bill - I chose this item based on its features, reviews, and brand reputation. ... "
