Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent! Comment: I've purchased this product in the past and always was very happy with it. Highly recommend it to all! Customer Rating: Summary: Heats rapidly, feels solid, worth the price Comment: This does heat up rapidly, as most reviewers concur. It holds up to seven cups, and even at full capacity boils up faster than earlier machines I used took to heat less than half this amount of water. You can fill it with the lid shut as well as open, a thoughtful feature. The lid can also be locked, of course. It's a bit heavy when there's more than a couple of cups worth of water in it, but it's solid and feels durable. I like the separation of the base from the water container. There's less exposure to contact points that can get wet than some other models. The cord certainly is short, no more than a few inches even if uncoiled from its wraparound base, but this keeps in many kitchens I suppose the risky apparatus from tipping near the sink, as has happened with my previous electric kettles, which wound up getting in countertop puddles inevitably, hastening those machines' demise. I was about to purchase a similar, and far cheaper one, but this Braun, made in the Czech Republic, has European workmanship combined with clever touches-- for instance, there's a reinforced hand protecting layer where your fingers will come into contact with the plastic container. The rest of the surface, outside of your hand's reach, will get quite warm, more so than other kettles, so be forewarned. The power involved in the boiling means this is a device for serious cooks, not only tea-drinkers. My kitchen-savvy wife can use this for heating up lots of water fast to expedite cooking demands, and I can employ it for my less-intensive cup of tea preparation. So, as with many such items in a well-stocked kitchen, this may be at the higher side of the price range, but after having worn out two less expensive electric kettles, I predict this one will live up to its reputation and outlive its predecessors, with care and cleaning. There's an anti-calcification filter that detaches (it can come off if you're fumbling around the spout, so be careful) and this added feature can prolong the life of the machine, as well as periodically boiling the minerals out of it. The double-sided see-through level indicator shows the planning involved in a higher-quality appliance. The dark blue shade's a bit too artsy, blocking faraway view of how many cups are inside bubbling away, but this may be for shielding purposes, who knows? The water level turns out darker, but not as easily contrasted with the area where there's no liquid. Seems to me some sort of brightly floating spirit level bubble would have been preferable to minimize squints. The base is wide enough to discourage tipping, while the plug's brevity may cause you to rearrange space for it on a counter away from a faucet's hazard. A safety factor, and you can always put it on an extension cord, although it's a one-way triple grounded plug. Its large capacity and solid feel should convince many to invest the few extra dollars in it. Since many buyers will be using it at least once daily, it's worth finding the better crafted product. Customer Rating: Summary: convenient and safe Comment: Braun WK200W Aqua Express Electric Water Kettle - White This electric kettle is very simple to use. It works great! Customer Rating: Summary: No one should be without one of these Comment: Exiled here in the US (out of our own choice) we lamented that fact that people boiled water in a saucepan! What is a kettle? our American friends would say! Target was the first place we saw a Phillips kettle and then they just seemed to disappear. Amazon to the rescue and a Braun at that! The price can shoot up to $69.99 sometimes, but I've been lucky enough to get them when they've been at $29.99. That's when I get 2. The wonderful thing is that you pay no tax and no shipping, and if you have Prime then you get them in 2 days max. So if you don't have one of these, try it; you'll never boil water in a saucepan again :) Customer Rating: Summary: Buy it! Comment: I have this kettle for a year now. I don't know why but it just seems so much easier to walk over to my counter press a button and have boiling water in minutes. I keep it on my counter so it is always ready when I need it. Easy clean up too. Also you can boil up your water and then walk over to your table and put the pot down. You can't do that with a stove kettle! More Reviews
