Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups FLF2J4 Cordless Electric Kettle, Black and Stainless Steel
Customer Review: LOVED KETTLE - BUT....
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased my Krups electric kettle about a year ago and loved it right from the start. Ditto with the positive features in other reviews. But it just died - won't turn on after only a year or less of use only two or three times a week!! NOT good for Krups reputation. I would like to buy another one just like it but $60 for one year's use seems outrageous to me! I would think Krups could easily improve the switch and stop the leaking problems and wonder why they haven't since this model is so obviously defective.Customer Review: lid locking mechanism breaks
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a stainless steel version of this unit. The lid mechanism is finicky and eventually the tiny little plastic pin that holds the lid in lock position and that is activated by the trigger breaks. And then what? Toss it and buy another. Five cents more in cost and thirty seconds more in design thinking and they'd have made a considerably more durable and long-lasting product. Now have to use a knife to futz with it manually and use a knife to get the lid to unlock. It's a design that's manufactured to fail.Customer Review: Beware: faulty switch, leaking water
Summary: 1 Stars
Like the other reviewers, we were disappointed in this kettle. It started off great, but after a year and a half, the switch would shut off soon after being turned on. We dealt with it by staying near and re-starting the kettle until it stayed on. Just recently we discovered the countertop behind the base was wet. After drying the countertop, we discovered that the moisture was not due to condensation, but a leak from the bottom of the kettle. We are now looking for a new kettle. It will not be a Krups.Customer Review: Does Exactly What's It's Supposed to Do - Boils Water Fast!
Summary: 5 Stars
It does one thing ... boils water. And it does it exceptionally well. Easy to use, simple to clean, and looks great on the counter (or anywhere for that matter... found it on my husbands work bench one day along with some empty hot chocolate packages). Love having hot tea without having to heat water in the microwave or on the stovetop. Have had it for quite awhile now and no issues whatsover. This is a great buy and is "kid safe" too (exterior is plastic). I highly recommend it.
Customer Review: I loved it, until today...
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had this kettle for two years, and I loved it. But today, I came downstairs to water all over my counter and realized that it was leaking from the seam where the bottom of the handle joins the body. I intended to buy another kettle just like it, so I came back to Amazon, but then I read some of the reviews. It appears that this is a recurrent issue that Krups has never chosen to fix. So I'll be going to Bed, Bath & Beyond tonight to look at their kettles. Too bad; I really liked it....
