Factory Reconditioned Cuisinart KUA-17 1-3/4-Quart Cordless Automatic Electric Kettle

Comment: I've had one house guest and one nanny place this kettle on my gas stove believing it's a standard kettle. The first time, I wrote Cuisinart a letter, and they graciously sent me a new kettle. Great customer service. The second time, I'm going with a less confusing design, the Capresso glass electric kettle for a couple extra bucks. It's not worth burning my house down ; ).

This design looks just like Cusinart's other standard kettles. So if you have elderly parents, or people what are not familiar with recent developments in water boiling, you might want to consider a less confusing design. (p.s. the plastic base melts in seconds if it comes in contact with a heat source).

Comment: I bought one in July and it was broken yesterday after three months of use.

Comment: This is our 2nd electric kettle. We had a Breville & it stopped working
after about 2 years of use. The Cuisinart came looking brand new. So far
it has been working just fine & for the price I figured it was worth a shot.
We have been happy with it and it gets used at least 2 times a day.

Comment: Good value for money, kettle works well and so its been good to try it.
Always the chance it will fail just after the 3 months warrenty is up!
For Brits looking a for a kettle - its a good one, I would be happy to buy the full price version now.

Comment: We researched tea kettles before purchasing this one - price was a big part of the decision. We have no regrets. It's beautiful, and functional. We love the fact that it turns itself off once it boils, and it seems like it only takes a moment to bring a couple of mugs worth of water to a boil.
