Electric Tea Kettle, 0.5L Stainless Steel Travel Kettle, Portable Hot Water Kettle, Auto Shut-off & Fast Boiling, Dry Protection, Suitable For Coffee, Tea, 110V/800W (Dark Blue)

This kettle just arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait to put it to use. I boiled 2 pots of water I didn't use, since there was some minor odor out of the box (it dissipated by the 3rd use). I was SUPER-IMPRESSED at how quickly this thing boiled water! Most reviews and the manufacturer say around 5 minutes, but I've had consistent boiling at 3-4 minutes! I haven't used cold water from the fridge, but I do use cold/room temp. I agree with other posts that this kettle is VERY quiet while heating - which I love, the base is cool to the touch when filled with boiling water, and the auto shut-off is functioning as it should so far. The 0.5l volume is EXACTLY what I need for each use! (AeroPress, inverted, filled twice) I love the 100% stainless interior (including lid): others I considered fell short on this point. While the handle stays cool, I was a bit surprised at how hot the outside of the kettle gets! I looked again at the Q&As and found that this seems to be normal. I love the size, weight, & aesthetic, and was pleasantly surprised at how secure the lid is considering it's not attached. The ONE negative: it came with a white cord, which looks ridiculous (a couple of reviews noted the same problem). I plan to continue using for the 30-day return window and if all else continues to be awesome, I'll decide if that alone is worth making an exchange. If you're debating/comparing small kettles, BUY THIS ONE! Amazing kettle and great price point.

This is a nice portable kettle it is small so this is good for 2 cups. Quick boiling and easy to clean. Definitely recommend.

Perfect for the office.. small desk size takes up very little room, boils in seconds, and easy to clean.. definitely recommend!

I was looking for a stainless steel kettle with a gooseneck that would be easy to pour and not be too expensive. I had this Kettle for 2 yrs before it gave out.This Kettle was perfect for my needs.+ It heats up pretty quick in about ~3 mins.+ The design was sleek and attractive.+ It was light weight and easy to pour.+ The price was fairly inexpensiveThe only negatives it had were the following:- The area around the screw on the lid was prone to rust due to steam constantly hitting that area when boiling and the screw not being 100% tight. I was able to fix this by unscrewing the screw, cleaning the area, and tightening the screw afterwards. It never happened again once I did.- The other issue is the conductor/heating pad. It eventually wears out. It might start with having to slightly turn the kettle in order for the light to turn on and show it's heating. You'll keep moving and moving it until it eventually gives out. I think the issue is that it's super sensitive and the handle must always be parallel to where the power cord is. The issue started popping up when I had other members use/move the Kettle and I know they could be a little rough with it, so it probably could've lasted a little longer if I was the only one using it...If they still had this in stock, I'd still buy this again just because I couldn't find another Kettle that had this same light weight design and it worked very well until it stopped.

I needed a replacement for my 0.5L kettle that recently broke so decided to give this one a try. I wanted black, but that wasn't a choice so I ordered dark blue. Honestly, I have no idea if it's dark blue or black because it's so dark. It looks black. Either way, I'm happy with the color. Funny thing, the box is labeled "white". I'm just glad I got the one I ordered, despite the mislabeled box.It heats up very quickly. The spout pours well. The kettle is small and lightweight. The rubberized rim around the lid securely holds it in place while boiling. Easy to clean. I'm happy with my purchase.Some reviewers talked about a plastic smell while boiling. This only happened on the very FIRST use, which I assume is due to the product being new. There is not a continuous plastic smell with use, at least this has not been my experience. I feel completely comfortable using this item knowing that plastic is not leaching into the water because the entire inside is made of stainless steel, which is where the water is boiling.

Updated again July 8 2022: I really like this pot. It looks very nice. Doesn't discolor. The bottom must be real stainless steel because it is still pristine. Really quite elegant. The spout is narrow, so it takes 5-10 seconds longer to pour a big mug of tea or coffee. But, the narrow curved spout is part of its elegance. Also, the light on the front is small so you have to look very carefully to see if it is on. Otherwise, I can't think of anything wrong with it, and I do get compliments on it. It is close enough to perfection for 5 stars.Update Sep 8 2021: I do like the pot, and they quickly changed the description to the correct 800 watts. It will still boil 65 ounces of water (a liter), in under 7 minutes assuming you consider auto shut-off as the definition of boiling. I assume it starts to boil a little around 5 minutes, but a rapid boil takes longer. However, this is still quick, and much less likely to blow a fuse that the more common 1500 Watt or 1350 watt kettlesI bought this and the description says it is 1350 watts. In one picture it even has 1350 Watts on the kettle itself. However, the pot I was sent is 800 Watts. The box says, 1350 watts, but the kettle and base say 800 watts. So, it will be slower to boil water, but put less strain on the electric switch when running my microwave and air fryer and tea kettle at the same time. I'm not sure whether this is good or bad for me, but people in a bigger hurry might be upset.
