This review is from: Proctor Silex K4070 1.7-Liter Automatic Electric Kettle (Kitchen)
Bought this for my daughter who is a college student. My concern was mainly safety issues. This was the lowest priced product in this category. My daughter loves it. It is compact, rather good looking,convenient, and very safe to operate. Furthermore, there is no shipping cost! I am very happy with the purchase.
If you need a beeter looking product, there are more expensive ones available (on amazon.com). For my home use, i have one of those.

PROS: Works well. Heats fast, auto-shutoff feature and visible water level are nice.
CONS: Putting kettle on base requires lining up 3 slots which takes a little extra care and might result in damage to contacts if you're not careful.

This model from Proctor Silex has held up well for 3 years of daily water boils--usually a dozen times a day or more. It automatically shuts off after the water boils. About half a kettle takes approx 1.5 minutes to boil. I've no complaints about this staple of our kitchen. Besides boiling hot water quickly for beverages or soups, etc it is also handy to boil water in first before adding it to a pot on the stove, cuts down on total cooking time.
UPDATE 4/2011. I don't know why in getting rid of plastic cooking implements we didn't replace our kettle earlier. Probably because my husband decided a couple months ago that he too wanted to avoid teflon and plastics. We replaced this kettle with a stainless steel interior kettle where no parts touch the boiling water. I would...Read more
