Amazon.com Review
Great for a dorm room or office, this cordless kettle lets you enjoy tea, coffee, or even dried soups at any time and without a range. And it's detachable from its power base for convenient pouring. The unobtrusive power base shuts off when the kettle is removed from the platform, and the concealed heating element never comes into contact with the water, keeping it from tasting flat or scalded. Made from high-quality stainless steel, the mirror-finished kettle is attractive and rust-resistant, and its 36-inch cord can be hidden in the base, making for easy, cord-free storage. --Madeleine Miller

DANGEROUS July 9, 2008
You push the switch DOWN to turn it on, right? Well, my wife (who loves this potential fire hazard and thinks I'm being unfair) only puts one cup of water in at a time, so it's sitting there on the counter empty. And I am putting bags of groceries, or a towel, or something on the counter and ACCIDENTALLY TURNING IT ON WHILE IT IS EMPTY almost every day.

Great while it lasted -- but short life expectancy. June 28, 2008
Am sorry to say after less than a year - this product began to have trouble staying 'on'. The contact on the bottom of the kettle starts to wear out. Too bad, we really enjoyed it. Cuisinart hasn't fixed a problem that's been documented by other reviewers.

I won't replace it with another KUA-17. no more Cuisinart products for me.

an okay teapot June 15, 2008
received this pot for father's day exactly 1 year ago today. This morning, on it's 1 year anniversary, it no longer works. Will I replace it with the same modeL? No... It's very slow at heating water and, as some others have noted, it's a little awkward to poor. But, it wasn't a horrible teapot either.

Problems with leaving water in kettle May 24, 2008
I purchased this kettle in 2005 and loved it. It was easy to use, boiled water quickly and looked good. After just less than a year it started to make a lot of noise when boiling water and eventually stopped working. I returned it and received a replacement kettle. Apparently you MUST empty the water out of it once you have used the kettle. Letting water sit in the kettle causes corrosion and damages the heating component. My second kettle is on its last legs because I use it all the time to make hot tea and I am too lazy to empty it after every use. I wont be buying the same kettle again. I find it odd that a kettle can corrode??????
