Retro Electric Hot Water Kettle with Speed Boil Tech, Bpa-Free, 1.8, Stainless Steel, Black

Initially I got a kettle that had chipped paint (see pic) and the metal coating on the spout part was slightly bubbled (only visible upon close inspection). I thought the chipped paint was dust, but nope I tried cleaning it and it was chipped paint. So I requested an exchange and got a new kettle in the next couple of days, and it was perfect. The box was taped and packaged differently than the first one, so I suspect that first one was a return of a used kettle. I really like the aesthetic of this kettle, especially for the price! The lid is a little hard to remove because it's right under the handle, but not too cumbersome. It's still easy enough to do everyday, I just try to be careful because I don't want to accidentally scratch anything because I like how it looks so much lol. It also heats up water hotter than my old kettle did, and the temperature gauge is handy.

We are quite pleased with this kettle. It is attractive and heats water well. Allow me to mention that the silver lid is only cosmetic. It does not come off. You fill the pot through the spout. It's no biggie but it was surprising that the lid could not be removed.

Liked the look and function. Our last electric kettle from another vendor lasted 4 years. This one goes in the garbage after 3 months. Too bad - this one just developed a bad thermostatic shutoff and never kicked off. The lid was small and a little hard to open but otherwise was a decent unit.

I use this every day, multiple times a day. A previous electric kettle gave up after many years of service, and the first replacement lasted only a week. This one has given me no problems in the two years I've had it, and I like the way it looks. It's true that it doesn't whistle, but I don't remember the description saying that it did.

The Frigidaire manufacturer needs to update the description, as this does not whistle. We tried many different ways to get it to, the lid is on tight, it does not whistle. I'm pretty bummed. I noticed in the question and answer section in this listing someone asks if it whistles and the manufacturer replies no. I was hoping it did whistle so my blind son could hear it. I thought that would be cool. So heads up, it doesn't. I hope the manufacturer or Amazon removes that from the description. My kettle arrived with scratches all over it, and the paint missing inside the scratches. It was sent to me in the manufacturer's box with the label on it. Not sealed. Not protected in another box. This box is too flimsy to be shipped in that manner. It is nice being able to see the thermometer and watch it rise on the outside. Also I was able to fill it into the spout from the outside of my fridge's water dispenser, by putting it under and using my hand to press the fridge water thingy, it is doable and easy to do that way, in case you were wondering. I could not fill it through the lid access with my fridge water, it just could not reach it that way. The paint part that was not scratched is a real pretty deep red. It is apparently a thin coat of paint, not sure how long that will last, since it arrived scratched. It seems to take longer to heat up than my old electric pot, BUT it heats up a lot hotter, making my tea taste really rich. A much improved taste, probably because it's at optimal temperature. So that's a plus. The handle is cushioned and comfortable to hold and pouring was really nice and easy. Way better than my previous kettle. I haven't had it long enough to comment on how well it holds up. If I'm able to, I'll update later in the year. Lately I noticed Amazon is making it harder for us to return or see our reviews for updates.

Love this kettle. Looks retro but us extra fast to boil. Perfect!

Worked well for almost a year, using it multiple times a day. Very handy. Wish it was still working though.

I purchased two of these for my elderly mother and I. We both love to drink our hot tea and feel that it is safer and more convenient to use this product to heat our water! Also perfect for instant oatmeal or hot chocolate! Can’t believe I went so long without it!!!!
