Elite Gourmet 1.2L Electric Glass Kettle, 1200W Fast Boil, Adjustable Temperature Control & Keep Warm, BPA-Free Borosilicate Glass, Auto Shut-Off & Boil-Dry Protection, 360° Cordless Base, Mint

From a cold water start, pressing the lever at bottom of the handle, it took about 3 minutes to hit full boil, which is turn the knob clockwise all the way to right as far as it will go. TO TURN IT OFF, turn it counterclockwise all the way to the left. It's hard to see but the first symbol is an O with a slash through it, and it will turn off the "keep warm:" function. So the lever on the handle seems to quick heat to the desired temperature and flips up to, "auto switch" to warming temp. This seems to stay on for quite a long time, and you will hear it warming water back up as it cools down until you turn the knob all the way to the left to turn the kettle off. I haven't dry boiled to see if it auto shuts off the kettle completely. Maybe that's when the function kicks on. Otherwise, it seems to be an auto switch to warm mode. So far I love this as I'm always drinking hot drinks throughout the day and like the keep warm temp stays on longer than any kettle I've ever used. Cute, fast, wide mouth to clean. Loving it thus far.

The Elite Gourmet EKT1220M Electric Glass Kettle has been a wonderful addition to our kitchen. Not only does it match perfectly with our kitchen decor and dishes, but it also performs admirably in terms of functionality. One of its standout features is the temperature dial and keep warm function, which ensures that our water stays at the desired temperature consistently. However, it's important to note that even when it's turned off, it still maintains the water at the set temperature, so remember to unplug it when not in use if you don't want it running. While we do wish the carafe was slightly larger, we opted for the smaller size to match our kitchen decor, and we're happy with our choice. Despite its size, it still meets our tea-drinking needs efficiently. One thing to be mindful of is the potential for hard water build-up. To combat this, we regularly heat a vinegar mix through the kettle to keep it clean, which has proven to be effective. Overall, we're delighted with the Elite Gourmet EKT1220M Electric Glass Kettle and would purchase it again without hesitation. It's not only a practical appliance but also a lovely addition to our kitchen that enhances both form and function. It's a great little kettle.

Very nice looking blends well with my other teal appliances Very quick boiling and shuts itself off. Well worth the price. Recommend highly!!

Good kettle. The temperature control is a handy feature for green teas etc. We’ve used this kettle at least once a day or more for two years. A small plastic piece at the top end of the handle eventually wore and came off. Not sure glue would hold well in the heat. You can see the correct spot for it in the second photo. The kettle still works but some steam escapes from the missing part area.

Really nice looking, glass is what I was looking for, but it doesn't actually boil the water. That's ok though, we still have the old one to boil water to add to whatever needs it. This gets it hot enough that it's drinkable right away and we don't have to wait for an hour to be able to take a sip lol (we use our insulated travel mugs even at home). The dial on the front is not what I am used to on electric kettles, it's actually nicer. Whatever temperature you leave the dial on, it will keep the water that temp all day if you want it to. It shuts off and on to maintain that temp. Since it never boils the water, there is no risk of it boiling away with the lack of an auto shut-off, which wouldn't work with this kind of heat maintaining set up. Happy with it :)

I really like this electric kettle. I think that some people who are having some trouble with it may not have read or understood the directions. I found this kettle to be as described and easy to either boil water or warm water. When you want to boil water, push down the lever no matter where you put the dial it will boil because the lever at the bottom of the handle is meant for boiling only. Set the dial at the temp you want the water to stay warm at and the kettle will keep the water warm to the temp even after you return the kettle with water still in it after pouring out what you need. You can keep the water warm wherever you set the dial to. If all you want to do is warm water up set the dial to that temp and the water will warm to that temp but will not boil, it will only warm. If you set the dial all the way to the left, it will turn the appliance off. Do not push down the lever if you do not want to boil your water. I hope this is clear enough. when you are done with your kettle, turn the dial all the way to the left and unplug it then store it wherever you plan to store it. It's pretty enough to keep on the counter if you have room and like pretty things on your counter like I do. :)

I love this kettle so much, it's quiet, and it heats up fast. I love that you can set the temp which is exactly what I was looking for. This is perfect if you are looking for something to make tea with or mushroom coffee, since they both have preferred temps for brewing. It was affordable and goes with my other teal appliances. Make sure you clean it before you use it or the first pot will make your tea or coffee taste like plastic.

This kettle boils water fine, fast, no problem. The issue is the design of the carafe and lid. Three issues: 1-There is a seam between the top of the handle and the lid where steam escapes while you're pouring. The steam hits your knuckles every time. 2-The lid is friction fit and the design of the carafe requires you to tip the entire kettle up past 90 degrees and the lid can fall off, requiring you to use your second hand to hold the lid in place while you pour. 3-If you're holding the lid down with your second hand steam escapes from the spout as well burning your off hand. It works fine, the design just sucks. It IS pretty with the blue light boiling.
