Chefs Choice 681 Cordless Electric Kettle

Product Review

Handsomely constructed of high-quality brushed stainless steel, this cordless electric kettle offers a 1 3/4-quart water capacity and 1500-watt of power which boils water faster than the stove or microwave oven. This cordless kettle lifts from the corded base for easy filling, pouring and serving with an automatic shut off when water boils. The advanced design of the concealed heating element is never in contact with the water, so there is no buildup of objectionable mineral deposits. For safety, the kettle provides automatic shut-off, boil-dry safety protection, a secure locking lid, power on indicator light and cool touch bottom. Other highlights include a convenient water-level gauge built into the handle and a cord that wraps neatly into the base for easy storage. The teakettle measures 9.2 by 6 by 8-inch and includes a one-year limited warranty.

I research a long time and finally decided on this kettle. I'm very pleased with my choice. I love the look and find it easy to handle. Also, the top stays open when filling. It heats quickly and the bright blue light showing when heating keeps my attention. We use it at least twice a day and sometimes more. I've had it a month or so and no problems so far.

I have been using the Chef's Choice 677 Cordless Electric 1-3/4-Quart Teakettle for 4 years. Worked like a charm but had to replace it when it won't start anymore and has rusted so much from years of use.

The Chef's Choice 681 was a great choice for an upgrade. I have been using it for a week and a half and it works great. Heats water in just two minutes! The design is simply beautiful. It is slightly smaller than the older one I have by just 0.5 liters. I like that this kettle lights up when it's on. The blue light is highly visible unlike the Chef's Choice 677 Cordless Electric 1-3/4-Quart Teakettle where you barely notice the light. Because of the blue light, I haven't burned...Read more

The Chef's Choice 681 Cordless Electric Kettle is well made and large enough to hold eight cups of water. It is an attactive kettle. I have given this kettle a lot of use in the short time I've owned it and am still very happy with my purchase.
