Toastmaster TEK17W 1.7 L Kettle

 (10 customer reviews)

This replaced a previous electric kettle that we owned. The Toastmaster kettle has an attractive form, great safety features (like auto shut-off when the water boils or when it's dry), and boils quickly. We compared the amount of time needed to boil a liter of water between the two kettles, and the Toastmaster was boiling while the other one was still heating up! Other kettles cost twice as much or more, but you won't find a better value.

We love this kettle. Easy to use. Pretty quick to reach a full boil. Great for my mom who is almost blind and needs straight-forward usability. We love it; albeit, we use it so much, we need to replace it before the 2-year mark. We are still in love with this kettle.

I bought this kettle because my sister had one and I was impressed how fast it would brew. I have used it for about a year and a half. Recently, I noticed a wet spot around the base and saw that the pot has a slow leak at the seam. My sister has encountered the same problem. They may have a 1 year warranty, but its useless if the leak occurs after that period. Its too bad, because I really liked this pot.
