Mr. CoffeeOster BVSTKT7098-000 Kettle, 1.7 Liter, Clear/Stainless.

This is a fantastic item. The water boils quickly. You can easily see how much water in the kettle. This lets you know if you have enough water to make a cup of coffee. It to tell how much water is in it when you are filling it so you only have to boil the amount of water you need. If you don't need to boil more than a cup of water, you don't need to add more than a cup of water to it. You can see the water boil as soon as it starts boiling. There is a ring of blue LED lights that illuminate the water, the circular "on" indicators at the front of the unit, and the one/off switch below the handle. Many people are enthralled by the boiling blue bubbles. I think it is a nice touch.This is one of my best purchases ever. You will notice a lot of reviewers raving about this item for good reason.Some reviewers claim that this product doesn't boil water as fast as other hot water kettles, and that it doesn't have the features of other hot water kettles. If prefer Android phones over the iPhone, you may want to buy another kettle. On the other hand, this kettle blows all the other kettles away in terms of quality materials, quality construction, design and functionality. The other kettles look cheaper, use cheaper materials and are not nearly so well constructed. This kettle looks expensive. The other kettles look cheap by comparison. This kettle is a work of art. It belong in the museum of modern art. It boils water very fast. And since you can easily see the inside of the container, you can easily add the right amount of water. This enables you to boil water faster since you just have to boil the amount of hot water you need.One reviewer said, according to the directions, you should not turn the machine on more than once in any 30 minute period. I did not read the directions so I take his word for it.The cord has three prongs. If your outlets have two prongs, then you will need to buy a .99 cent 3-prong to 2-prong adapter. They are sold here on Amazon and at every hardware store.The unit does have one issue. The cord is very short. It is the shortest cord I have ever seen on any appliance of this nature. It is less than three feet. Unless you are able to place it very close to an outlet, you will need a "3-foot appliance extension cord." You can buy one from Amazon.com for $3, The cord is called, "GoGreen Power GG-25603 14/3 3' SPT A/C Extension Cord - Beige"Some people claim the on/off switch is flimsy. I don't notice this to be so. It looks to be over engineered. Still it is made of Lucite, however I can't think of a circumstanced where it may break since it takes so little pressure to press down on the switch and activate the unit.I don't see where water inside the unit can comes in contact with any plastic.I have seen any white powder forming at the bottom of my unit. I never let the kettle boil dry. I always leave 1/2" to 1" of water at the bottom of the kettle to prevent minerals from participating out of solution and baking onto the stainless steel plate.I think this covers all the bases. My only real complaint is that it doesn't make me breakfast every morning and see me off to work.

I purchased this item in October 2017 and waited to write this review until now (August 2018) due to some of the reviews that claimed defective parts that break after a short period of time. After ten months of almost daily use we have had no issues with this kettle. The little plastic piece to turn it on is still functioning properly and the mesh is still intact. We have had no issues with build up or being able to clean the kettle. Overall, this has been a great item for us. It heats up the water quickly and consistently. I would certainly recommend it to others or purchase it again.update: As of March 2020, we still use this kettle almost daily and have had no issues. After more than 2 years, it still works perfectly and has had no broken parts.

This is a stunning kettle. I'm in love with it. I use it at least twice a day and have had it for about 2 months.ProsIt is so beautiful. Very stylish and matches the kitchen really well. And when it is on there is a blue light illuminated throughout. It is just plain cool.It is fast. I've had my share of kettles and this one really is fast.Easy to use. Easy to fill, easy to clean, easy to turn on.The glass is really nice. It is so much easier to clean than other kettles, and doesn't absorb fingerprints.ConsIf you use tap water, like I do, then after a few uses there will be a ring on the bottom that looks like rust. It isn't. It's just hardness from the water. The way to avoid that from making you hate the kettle is to clean it.. I would say I have to clean mine once every 2 or 3 weeks but don't forget I use mine all the time. I just pop the top open and use a brush or a sponge to scrub and it may take a little elbow grease.When the kettle sits there with water, and the water evaporates, it condenses on the top and really doesn't bother anything except visually you will see a ring of condensation.If it were to break, I would probably buy the exact same kettle again

Tengo un mes usándola y me ha gustado mucho. Si siente de calidad en las manos y es muy divertido verla funcionar con la luz azul. Un favor importante para mí es poder ver el interior del hervidor, puesto que este tipo de aparatos tiende a crear sarro dentro y así puedo ver si le hace falta una limpieza.

Es muy practico y rápido, así como de fácil manejo

Calienta rápido con apagado automático y muy visual por la iluminación
