Have had many electric kettles, the design and functionality of this one is perfect. Exterior is hard glossy white embossed with a picket tile pattern. Looks like porcelain even though it’s plastic.
Very modern. The blue light window on one side shows the water bubbling and that it’s heating. Sits well on base, heats quickly, auto shutoff. Perfect upgrade for my kitchen remodel as it blends well with white tile backsplash.

Love this kettle. It’s nice enough to leave out all the time.

I will be honest and say that this was not at all the kettle I was looking for. I wanted to get a kettle that was transparent and had temperature control. However in my search and testing many different kinds of these kettles I wound up returning every single one. Apparently there are two common issues plaguing those kind of kettle designs. All in all I tested out 5 other kettles before picking this one so let my experience save you some time. I won’t mention the brands but they are well known. All 5 of these kettles shared the same issues. The first big issue is that apparently it’s a design flaw that transparent kettles can and do leak from where the handle attaches right above the heating base. All 5 of my glass kettles shared this flaw. Of the ones that had the temperature control feature both of them proved to not be at all accurate at determining the temperature. This was hugely disappointing and eye opening.
Eventually I stopped punishing myself and just decided to look at kettles because it seemed more important to be able to heat up water to proper boiling and not create a wet electrical nightmare. When I got this kettle I wasn’t that jazzed about it because it was none of the things I wanted. How wrong I was as this kettle is everything I do want. While I don’t have temperature control it’s hard to argue that it even matters when it’s inaccurate in the first place and although it’s not see through I do get a window so I can see the water boiling if I want to.
My first impression upon unboxing was that it is actually very nice to look at and sit on your counter. The pictures on the site don’t do the outside finish justice. Even though it’s plastic you might think it’s porcelain at first glance. The kettle unpacks and sets up easy. It also boils really fast. I raced it against another kettle and this one won so it must be fast right?
Something that I didn’t know but really like about it is that there is a blue light that illuminates the inside of the kettle as it boils. I know but it is kind of pleasing. The other thing I really love about this kettle is an understated feature of the lid button being located on the handle and not the lid itself meaning you don’t have to risk burning your hands and arms with steam if you do need to open it while it’s still hot. There are also red feet located inside the kettle to make it easier to see the lower levels if you just need to boil a small amount.
The only drawback is that cleaning it isn’t super easy because the top hole is not very large and the feet inside make it a bit tricky to maneuver around. It’s not that bad so I’m not taking any stars off of it. I’m sure you could spend $100 and maybe get a better kettle but I doubt you could spend the amount this one costs and find a better more consistent one.

Item arrived on time, I purchased a used but great condition item. I don’t think this was ever used. It is beautiful, fits well in my kitchen. So far it has been exactly what I expected.

I had one similar which I purchased about 20 years ago that was showing age. This one is has the same simple features and I love it. Super elegant in our new kitchen.

easy to keep clean and not noisy like a couple I had before.
Price is not the lowest, but happy with overall product.
Daughter liked it a lot, so she got one too

The design of this product is really elegant and sturdy. It’s easy to clean. I particularly like the double net strainer that makes a smoother flavor with less grounds and refines the texture to a silky finish.

I have found white flakes in the kettle after using a couple times. Emptied then reused a few times but it keeps happening! Can’t trust the safety of the water. I use filtered Brita water.

This purchase was the best thing I’ve bought in years. It exceeded my expectations. I’ve purchased 2 previous electric tea kettles that left me disappointed. One had 6 buttons that you had to press thru to get to the 220 degree “boil” button. I don’t know about you, but when I wake up in the morning and want my tea, I don’t want the hassle with buttons and tiny little words and numbers just to get the kettle boiling. This Black and Decker kettle is SIMPLE. One small button lifts the lid so you can fill with water. Set it on its base and press one button – and 2-3 minutes later, the water is boiling. The one with the 6 buttons stopped working after a few months and I was more than happy to toss it out. I reverted to the old stove top tea kettle (stored in the attic for emergencies) – never use a kettle that has its handle over the opening where the water boils! The spout spat water as it boiled and was not easy to pour accurately. It was also too heavy. The Black and Decker is gorgeous to look at, lightweight, easy and comfortable to hold and best of all, pours easily and accurately. Sounds simple, doesn’t it – expecting a tea kettle to pour accurately?? Funny how one little tea kettle can make such a difference. I’m tempted to buy another one and squirrel it away in the attic in case the one I’m using ever dies. Best purchase in a very long time!
