Bottom Line

Despite a couple of design concerns with the cover, this inexpensive kettle does one job and does it well.

Pros

Made in Germany from high-quality glass. Holds 12 cups. Simple, effective design. Good size, and lightweight. Handle doesn't get too hot. Whistle has a nice sound; not piercing and shrill. Affordable.

Cons

You have to remove the top to pour water, which can lead to burns. Some buyers say this kettle breaks fairly quickly, or that the cover melts too easily.

Bottom Line

This kettle looks great and is both cheaper and more powerful than similar models, but keep an eye on it as its auto-shutoff feature is the weak point.

Pros

Cons

Some buyers report problems after a couple of months with rusting, broken LED lights, and especially the auto-shutoff feature.

Bottom Line

This kettle gets high praise for its looks, but some buyers have warned about its fragility and tendency to splatter when it reaches a boil.

Pros

    Glass kettles insulate while revealing not only the beauty of their contents but the state of their readiness. These kettles typically hold anywhere from four to twelve cups of water and are made in either stovetop and electric designs. Electric kettles let you warm water almost anywhere, especially cordless models. If you’re going electric, look for a model with an auto-shutoff feature for your safety. Stovetop kettles are as much artwork as they are practical kitchen devices. Many kettles come with their own infuser and may include matching cups, which gives you everything you need for the perfect brew.
