Bodum makes one hot kettle. June 30, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought the Bodum Electric Water Kettle in black after reading several favorable reviews on the Web. It replaced a old Procter-Silex kettle that was showing its years.

After a using it daily for about a month, I see why the reviewers recommend it. The kettle boils 1.5 quarts of water in just under seven minutes. I use the time to grind coffee manually and set up my Bodum French Press. Unlike most kettles, it thankfully does not have a whistle. It shuts off with an audible click. However, if you don't hear the click, you can turn it on again and get back up to a boil in seconds.

The design is simple and elegant. Its plastic construction is sturdy and lightweight. It imparts no off-flavors to the water. The kettle detaches from the base to facilitate cleaning and filling.

Electric water kettles range in price from $11-$250; this Bodum is a midrange unit. I think it is a winner.

Easy to use, reliable for hot water June 26, 2007
I got this to boil water at the office. It's reliable and simple! NOT for soup - just water. But switches off automatically when water boils. Attractive, too.

I bought mine in the summer of 1997 and I just tossed it out last week. It cost me around 20 bucks new and saw daily service. It was still working when I tossed it, but the electrical connection was getting flaky and it wouldn't automatically shut off any more. It no longer could be left on the base when not in use, as it would remain on and boil dry; it became a fire hazard.

While it was in service I never had a bad thing to say about it - it boiled quickly, the plastic body got only warm to the touch - never too hot. And - I think this is important - it poured well. It was accurate, didn't spatter or overpour, didn't dribble. So, for 2 bucks/year I think it was a terrific value and I give it 5 stars.

I'm giving serious consideration to buying a replacement Bodum kettle, but since we're redoing the whole kitchen, I'll probably go with something stainless and more sculptural - and just hope that it performs as well as my trusty Bodum!

I've used it for years. Great product. June 22, 2007
I use the mini Ibus daily to heat water for my french press. It's fast, just the right size, and looks good. Great product.

In other words, I can't understand why the two "Spotlight" reviews are negative. My kettle has been used several times a day for years now, and has only just conked out. It boils water extremely quickly because the heating coil is in direct contact with the water; it boils precise amounts and shuts off automatically, which saves time and electricity; and the snap sound when it shuts off is infinitely preferable to the screech of a traditional boiling kettle. My only criticism relates to looks: having lived in England where there is a lot of choice and the kettles are both shapelier and more colorful, I find the Bodum rather a bore to look at. But it does the job: hence the full five stars.
