Kalorik JK-20461 1100-Watt Silver Line 2-Quart Cordless Electric Tea Kettle

 (11 customer reviews)

This little pot boils a large amount (2 litres) of water in just a couple of minutes. The cordless base makes it so much safer and easier to pour when it's ready, the twist open lid helps you to avoid dumping the whole pot on yourself and I like the auto shut off so there is no chance of boiling it dry or starting a fire. The only small criticism I have is that the twist open lid seems a bit cheezy - like it might not last as long as the rest of the pot does. I will update my review if that turns out to be the case. Also, you should be aware that the heating element is exposed in the bottom of the pot so don't get this one if you expect to boil anything other than water as you will coat the element with it. Otherwise this pot is exactly what I wanted/expected.

This was exactly what I was looking for. I'm not too fond of "no-name" appliances, but was willing to give it a go since the other reviews were much better than comparable name brand products which were significantly higher priced.

Works perfectly as described.

The large lid, though a little cheesy as others have said, makes filling very easy. Yeah, the element is exposed, so we'll all use our brains and not stick our hands in the pot (duh). This pot specifically says the coil is nickel, and not aluminum. I don't like to mess with aluminum cooking utensils, and am pleased.

The water-level window on the side is LARGE and easy to see. You can even watch the water boil.

The measure marks leave somewhat to be desired. They mark ".5 quarts, 1 quart, 1.5 quarts, 2 quarts." I would have preferred it mark off 2, 4, 6, and 8 cups instead. The marks are oval, so they don't really show exactly where "1.5 quarts" is. Also the max. and min. marks...Read more

I've had this pot about 6 months and have been pleased with its performance so far. I'm ashamed to admit I probably only use it twice a week, but it's very convenient when I need it. It heats water very fast and stays quiet, and can really speed up boiling water for pasta or other dishes to be later cooked on the stove. The lid seems somewhat cheap, but for the price I can't really complain -- most lesser-capacity 1 3/4 quart pots are more than twice the price! Note that the item description is WRONG: this pot holds 2 liters or about 68 fluid ounces, not 55 as stated.
