Review of Toastmaster TEK17W 1.7 L Kettle

Customer Ratings:

This replaced a previous electric kettle that we owned. The Toastmaster kettle has an attractive form, great safety features (like auto shut-off when the water boils or when it's dry), and boils quickly. We compared the amount of time needed to boil a liter of water between the two kettles, and the Toastmaster was boiling while the other one was still heating up! Other kettles cost twice as much or more, but you won't find a better value.

I bought this kettle because my sister had one and I was impressed how fast it would brew. I have used it for about a year and a half. Recently, I noticed a wet spot around the base and saw that the pot has a slow leak at the seam. My sister has encountered the same problem. They may have a 1 year warranty, but its useless if the leak occurs after that period. Its too bad, because I really liked this pot.

We love this kettle. Easy to use. Pretty quick to reach a full boil. Great for my mom who is almost blind and needs straight-forward usability. We love it; albeit, we use it so much, we need to replace it before the 2-year mark. We are still in love with this kettle.

Honest reviews on Toastmaster TEK17W 1.7 L Kettle

If you only use this kettle to decorate your counter and use it infrequently, it might provide years of so-called "service". Otherwise, expect the worst. I thought I loved this kettle. Large capacity, fast, auto shut-off. Used it at least once a day for more than a year. But then yesterday, there was water everywhere. As a mechanical engineer who enjoys repairing a wide variety of devices, I was quick to disassemble this appliance and attempt some magic. What a disappointment to discover that the upper white plastic jug is pressed and crimped onto the metal base. I was shocked at how easily the two halves separated. No way to correct the leak or securely reassemble.

I've never used an electric kettle before until now, and I chose this one because it held more water for serving more than 2 cups (or mugs) of tea at a time; I particularly liked this because I could keep it filled with guests coming in, and it heats almost instantly. For me this was one of the most rewarding purchases I have ever made. The price is right, the white color is great, and the entire product as a whole is exceptional value. It's lightweight, easy to clean, very attractive and sturdy at the same time, easy to lift and pour, sits perfectly on the base, and fits perfectly on my counter top! But the real joy was having my very first cup of tea from it. It boils in just under 2 minutes or less, depending on how full the kettle is. It has never spilled or dripped either just lift it and pour (not rushing the process) and you will find a very smooth flow with great ease. I would highly recommend this kettle to anyone looking to either have something convenient for guests (refills right away and boils in less time than the stove top), or just to switch off from using the stove every now and then, and relax with a one-push on/off switch that shuts off automatically when it's done. No more running for the whistle! I can't say enough good things about this kettle I would buy this again for myself and give it as a gift! You won't be disappointed! :)
