Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Delonghi KBX1510 Cool Touch Electric Kettle
Customer Review: Design flaws hold this kettle back
Summary: 1 Stars
Although I have enjoyed other Delonghi products this one is not a winner for me.
The issue is that the lid release button is not so intuitive. The lid is designed to be released by a button in the handle. The button is integrated to make the product look clean but it's function isn't obvious nor intuitive. Many people have used this kettle at my house and they all push down on the lid to open it for filling. The lid is large and presents itself with a broad surface area and so this seems intuitive for the user. Unfortunately the little plastic latch inside can't handle the repeated stress of opening the lid by pushing on it and eventually fails. This results in the lid staying open and because of this, the temperature inside the kettle during boiling never reaches the point where the sensor triggers the kettle to switch off. I could see this as a product liability should the kettle run dry and cause a fire.
