Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart CJK-17BC Cordless Electric Jug Kettle, Brushed Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Warning!
Summary: 1 Stars
We had this kettle for quite a while, let say 6 months. We were fairly pleased with it as it did what we expected. Boiled water for tea. Anyhow, the kettle began shutting off before the water came to a boil. Then one day, as my husband plugged the kettle in, sparks flew out of the base of the kettle, where the electric cord comes out. In the garbage this Cuisinart product went.Customer Review: Hazard
Summary: 2 Stars
Being British and around electric kettles all my life this has to be one of the nicest looking but one of the worst designs. Having owned this kettle one week I have already accidentally hit the lid button whilst pouring boiling water into my cup. The on/off switch is in an ackward place, the on/off light indicator is difficult to see. This kettle is an accident waiting to happen.Customer Review: Warning!

I've never had the urge to write a review of anything before but this product has been a nightmare for us. We are on our third replacement from Cuisinart in less than 2 years and this fourth unit just died on us. Each time it was something different that broke or quit. Cuisinart is a high-end brand but the design & quality of this product are both terrible. Caveat emptor.Customer Review: Broken after 18 months
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this kettle 18 months ago. It functioned well until recently, when the mechanism for boiling became unreliable. For example, I am sitting here watching the boil light flicker on and off. The kettle starts to boil, then stops, then starts again. After 45 minutes I *might* get a cup of tea. Not worth the money. I agree with others about the lid too.Customer Review: Works great, looks great.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this kettle for about 2 months now and could not be happier. As with any stainless appliance the exterior can get very hot so it is not ideal for an area within a child's reach. Otherwise, it looks great in my kitchen, but more importantly does its job. Water boils quickly, it's simple to use, relatively quiet and extremely easy to clean.
