This works very nicely, it heats up quickly and I love how I can go from a low of 104 degrees, meaning I can use it for yeast, to boiling. I almost always use it at the 195 degree setting for coffee, sometimes one lower for hot chocolate. Also heats quickly enough that if you are in a rush for pasta, you can boil the water first in the kettle then pour it (carefully) into your pot to get a head start. The temperature is large and easy to read, and changes in real time while it heats up so that you can stop it at any temp along the way by removing it from the base. It has a 30-minute stay warm function, which is nice but would be even nicer if it were an hour or two. I LOVE how the double wall allows me to put a hand on the outside for stability without burning myself - it gets warm, but not hot to the touch. The spout is ok, sometimes it dribbles a little if you don't have it at the exact right angle. My previous electric kettle had a more accurate pour, but this one isn't bad. The lid will lift a little more manually for easier cleaning, although it stays angled and is not removable. I make sure to dry out the insides after using it (after allowing it to cool down) so that water doesn't sit in there and get disgusting, as it does in all kettles that aren't emptied of water and cleaned frequently. After about a month of use once daily, it started to get some scaling - easily cleaned with white vinegar per instructions in manual. I wanted to knock one star off because of the shiny black finish, which I find rather dated and cheap looking. If it were matte black (or gray or silver tone), it would be much more up to date in appearance and pleasant to look at. But that's just a visual preference, and the function of this electric kettle is deserving of five stars.

Pros:AffordableCool touch exterior is great, I had multiple gooseneck kettles and often got burned touching the hot exterior. This kettle has no hot spots on the exterior.Interior is clean stainless and accessible for cleaning. No plastic contacts the water.Comfortable handle, easy to pick up and use.Wireless contact with base is great. I tried a corded kettle and it was a chore.Large capacity, it holds 1.5L but doesn’t take up too much counter space.The only con is if you try to pour very quickly, water can spill out around the sides of the spout. If you pour gently, this is not an issue.

UPDATE February 2025: This did not go as smoothly as with the old kettle, but I have a good kettle now. About a year of light use after I got this kettle, it started leaking. Aramis at Krups sent a prepaid label, and I shipped the kettle to a small appliance repair person in the region. It returned smelling a little funny, but after boiling a few kettles of water, I was able to use it, and it worked well.This year (2025) I saw brown rust spots on the inside at the edge (not white scale). I contacted Krups customer service, and I said I wanted a new kettle. Aramis promptly had a new kettle shipped from France! I received it yesterday, and it seems to be working well and doesn't smell funny at all. Great warranty service. February 2025.Previous review:Wow, my last Krups electric kettle lasted well over 10 years - I lost track. It was used daily but only by 1 person in the home. That one was a mixture of stainless steel (exterior and interior) and plastic. It had a window on each side of plastic that showed the water level, and on one side it finall failed & leaked.I've had this a few days - good enough so far. I was glad to find an electric kettle where the body is mostly glass. I like how Krups says they will repair items, too. I wish I could find one made in the US.Pros:- Heats water quickly- I didn't buy it for LED lighted water, tho thru the glass, it turned out to be fun to watch- Sturdy grounded plug (old one was not)- Switch and lid release work well- Water tastes good- Good pouringCons:- Plastic smell for days. I used more than 3 fills of water to mostly get rid of it. I don't taste it in the water now; it's a faint smell. I recommend using the 2 teaspoons of baking soda sooner rather than later. If you see "pitting" in the bottom following baking soda, follow up with a bit of vinegar standing in there a while, and those will disappear. You might leave it full of water and sitting out overnight (not heating obviously).- The little filter had no instructions on how to remove it. I gently pried it out with my fingernail.

He usado la hervidora krups casi diario durante un año y sin problemas, la tapa se mantiene firma y sella muy bien, los cables y la base siguen en buenas condiciones. ESTE PRODUCTO ES CONVENIENTE Y HASTA NECESARIO SI TIENES NIÑOS, PUES NO TRANSMITE EL CALOR A LA PARTE EXTERIOR DE LA JARRA, EVITANDO POSIBLES QUEMADURAS POR ACCIDENTE, LA MAYORIA DE LAS HERVIDORAS NO OFRECE ESTO. Además la tapa y todo el interior es de acero, es decir libre del contacto con plásticos BPA que se deforman con el calor y transmiten quÃmicos. Lo único que le falta es un indicador del nivel del agua, lo que serÃa una adición muy útil, y una función para que se mantenga caliente el agua por mas horas. En general es un producto de excelente calidad y lo recomiendo al 100%.

Tomen en cuenta que es de 1.7litros y tiene un diseño alto (la anterior que usaba era de 1.5lts mucho mas bajita)Normalmente yo hiervo el agua y tiene un boton directo para eso que es muy convenienteTiene un display que va mostrando la temperatura en grados FEs rapidaDicen que la tapa no abre mucho, a mi me parece bien..Por dentro es de metal, por fuera parece tener una cubierta de plasticoEn general se ve de muy buena calidad

Le faltó el control de temperatura, como en sus modelos anteriores

Love the size and digital display, It matches my toaster that is also piano black with digital display. The handle is a little big but don't really notice it anymore. I never had a kettle that you could select the temperature you want and it is easy to do so. Also has a keep warm feature where you can leave the kettle and it will keep heating as needed to stay at that temperature. As far as performance I would have to say it heats up fairly quick compared to my previous kettles. It is very nice quality, not cheaply made by any means. On the down side when you pick up the kettle from base it doesn't remember your settings other than temp setting when you replace it on base however its so easy to set its not an issue for me. The other thing id although the lid opens up easily by pushing the button i feel it should open wider than it does, kind of have to tilt it a bit if you have a large pull down sprayer faucet but again not a deal breaker. I hummed and hawed awhile before purchasing as I never heard of krups but im so glad I purchased it as I think compared to the price of other kettles this is a steal for the quality and size.
