GEEPAS Electric Kettle | 1.8L Cordless Stainless Steel Jug Kettle with LED Indicator | Fast Boiling for Hot Water Tea Coffee | Boil Dry Protection Auto Shut Off Swivel Base 1800W

We had a glass kettle from a leading brand with fancy blue lighting. After the fancy lights failed and the glass got scratched with the sharp metal inside the badly designed lid and the handle became wobbly we decided to try this model as an alternative. Positives: * Seems very well made - nice solid feel to the handle. * Very light, strong stainless steel. * Good lid, hinged and clicks into place reassuringly. * Boils a mug full of water (300ml) in just over 1 minute. * Pours well. * No plastic in direct contact with the boiling water. * Great value. Might be negatives to some people: 1. Lower power than a fast boil. We wanted a lower power as we tend to boil smaller quantities and our electricity comes from a solar inverter so this is less of a load and places less strain on the system. The lower wattage means it will take twice as long as a 3kW kettle. A couple of mugs of water will be about two and a half minutes. 2. No way of seeing how full it is with lid closed. In the past we have found those plastic tubes that show the level of the water end up leaking. If you want to save time and money simply empty the cup / teapot of cold water into this kettle and you should be spot in with no fancy fill level tube to leak.

I was never truly happy with this kettle. It had a very antiseptic type smell and also taste to the water even after boiling it several times. This taste did fade but I could still detect the smell, even after several months of use. Then today, just one year and one month after purchase, I set it to boil, left the room for a few minutes and came back to find it boiling away when it should have turned itself off minutes before. There was a distinct plastic burning smell and when I tried to turn the kettle off on its switch it was too hot to touch, as was the handle. I had to turn it off on the main switch on the wall. Very glad I wasn’t away for long or I think it would have caused a fire. Obviously I won’t be buying this make again!

I ordered a full size travel kettle before from Amazon, and it was awful- the thing started smoking even though it wasn’t plugged in and hadn’t been for days. Anyhow, I needed a new one. I have a kettle downstairs, but when I’m going to bed I like to have one on my bedside unit for convienence when I want to make a hot water bottle. I have a 2l hot water bottle and some of the smaller ones weren’t that big, fortunately this one was, and the price is very fair too. It boils in around two minutes which is quicker than my glass one downstairs, and has is a nice brushed stainless steel finish. The lid pops off with a button and it’s dead easy to refill. I will say the brushed steel means it’s not as light as plastic, but I am not using it for travel so that’s fine by me. It’s definitely a lot smarter than the plastic and doesn’t look as cheap and tacky. If you struggle to lift heavy kettles, it’s definitely not as heavy as a glass one, so you should be fine. The light in it is bright enough so it’s obvious when it’s boiled and ready to pour. Only flaw is the wire for it is very short, so I need to lift my extender on the bed to actually get it boiling. I don’t think this would be too much of a bother in a kitchen where the plug sockets tend to be near a kettle, but something to watch out for if your socket is a distance away. The base is very flimsy, so be careful when it boils as the base does shake. For £14 it’s a steal and I would buy again.

Worth the price but does take little long to heat up compared to other kettle

Only lasted 9 months

A great budget friendly kettle. I bought this for after surgery to have upstairs when I wasn’t able to move around as much. Made myself a little beverage area! Worked well. The kettle is compact, lightweight whilst empty with a lid for filling on the top which is easy to open and close. It comes in silver with black base and handles which are plastic as is the lid. There is an indication light when kettle is switched on but no level visible on the outside. It’s easy to use and I used it consistently for a few weeks. It comes with ample cord length too. A really good value kettle, not the best looking kettle but for a spare or for an area where looks are not needed it does the job!!

Good quality cheap kettle.

Kettle does not last .The one I ordered only lasted 9 months.Its not worth buying it

kettle is fantatstic, i got it on a cheap round for 11 euros, and im still loving it alot, it is great buy

This is not stainless steel kettle. I use it for few weeks and is already rusty.

Pay 5 more bucks and get the better one. This one is not too bad, it works but cheap quality and slow a bit.

Took ages to boil ,water kept dripping from lid got into element and blew its fuse

Gone completely in exactly 3 months
