Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker JKC650 Stainless-Steel Cordless Electric Kettle
Customer Review: Not a practical design
Summary: 2 Stars
The electric kettle is probably what I use more often in my kitchen. For cooking (often needs a full kettle), for tea (minimal level of water), cleaning, etc. I've bought this one (9 months ago) because I had no other choice in my local Bed Bath and Beyond. From the beginning I never liked the design:
- it is very difficult to visualise the water level as it is "hidden" behind the handle. Also it uses a little ball to show at what level the water is. You need to tilt the kettle to see it as in low levels of water it gets stuck
- the on/off led is almost invisible during daylight
- the lid opens at a closed angle and not at 90o or more, as it would be more practical. Even better if it were removable. We live in a very hard water area, so we ought to use a water filter to fill in the kettle and I can only do that holding both over the sink. Not practical at all.
- it takes too long to boil. Very annoying.
Good points about this kettle:
- it does not leak if overfilled. And I do it a lot. This is the largest size available, even in the UK.
- concealed heating element
- detachable from the base, cordless
- stainless steel
- it works
Next time I visit my mother I'll take this to her as her main use is for making pasta (what means a full kettle) and her water is very good, not hard.
Pity I couldn't bring my kettle from London due to wattage difference. Now Amazon research is my only hope to find a decent one for my needs.
