Chefman Electric Kettle w/Temperature Control, Removable Tea Infuser, 5 Presets LED Indicator Lights, 360° Swivel Base, BPA Free, Stainless Steel, 1.8 Liters

I ran a boiling test. Here's the data:volume: just a smidge over 1.8 Lstarting temp: 13Ctime duration until rolling boil: 4 minutes (240s) (beeping takes a few more seconds)elevation here is not high enough to matter given the somewhat fuzzy definition of "done"(100C - 13C) * 1800mL * 4.1868J/calorie / (4 minutes * 60s) == 2731.887WSo that's >= 2731 Watts power from the kettle into the water, not accounting for losses to escaping steam, losses to the air around the kettle, or heating of the kettle itself. The wattage from the wall would be higher than 2731W. I didn't measure it directly, but it could plausibly be ~3000W at 240V.This was using a dedicated circuit (aka "dedicated radial circuit"?) that generally measures right around 240V, though I didn't measure circuit voltage while running the kettle.In contrast, a 120V "kettle" on a "broken radial circuit" is relatively pointless, but y'all already knew that.Other observations (more subjective):The ring of LED light is nice, and the white, red, and green colors all look nice.If there's a relay in this thing, it's pretty quiet.The beeping is short and to the point at a reasonable volume.The keep-warm feature is automatically on after heating, and clearly indicated by LEDs green. Picking up the kettle, the keep-warm disables, as the light is back to white when the kettle is put back down. One can hit the ON button again if keep-warm is desired after pouring. When boiling a more normal amount of water, the time to boiling is low enough that I haven't felt the need for keep-warm after pouring so far. The keep-warm until poured is nice. The keep-warm re-heating is tuned to get the water up to barely boiling and stop again, so it's not aggressively re-boiling the water each time, though it is audible - just pretty much over by the time you hear it, so not worrying.The LED stays on for just a little while when lifting the kettle; slightly longer than I'd expect. This seems to correlate with the decent build quality overall.The UI is no-nonsense and obvious.I've had no issues so far refilling with cold (~13C) water after having just boiled and poured, though I do always aim for the middle of the metal bottom to give the cold water some mixing with hot water before it hits the glass. I figure it can't hurt.The lid has a nice amount of tension (not too much, not too little), and seems less likely to break than typical push-button flip-up lids. The lid is easy to remove quickly and hold between two fingers while operating the tap for refilling - the tension is just right for getting your hand away from any lingering steam all at once. The lid being on limits the pouring rate to a reasonable-seeming rate. It seems plausible to modify the lid to allow faster pouring rate by putting some small notches or angled holes way out near the edges of the lid (to avoid scalding though the holes) - but the pouring rate seems fine as-is. I haven't tried pouring without the lid on - it's nice that the lid makes pouring safely a no-brainer before caffeine.Overall this thing seems well-thought-out and not a first draft.The wattage indicated on the box is a range up to 3000W at 240V, depending on input voltage. Lower input voltage will result in lower wattage, but that's true for any kettle.

Update: April 2025 - Slight minuses: 1) base wobbles too much, switches itself off sometimes, defo could be built more sturdily and 2) filter obstructs a smooth pour and 3) will keep re-boiling to 100 degrees if left to stand, using electricity. Nevertheless we all like the kettle, just usage observations.February 2025: After two false starts with two different and more expensive kettles that were less than even just ‘good’ bought this one and we really really like it. Lift off lid, quiet, stable, quick boil, 2.8l max if needed, varied temperature choice, and illuminated. Red light when on boil which turns to green when reached either 100 degrees or chosen temp from 70 degrees upwards, and afterwards when you’ve poured your water into your tea or coffee mug or whatever and place it back on its base it switches to a white light. It’s a cheerful little thing on a dark morning ☺️

**Stylish, Quick-Boiling Kettle—Almost Perfect!**This Chefman Electric Kettle has quickly become one of my kitchen favourites. It boils water incredibly fast thanks to the powerful 3000W heating element, perfect for hurried mornings or a quick tea break. The clear borosilicate glass body not only looks sleek and modern on my countertop but also makes it easy to see how much water I'm boiling, helping avoid waste.Cleaning is straightforward due to the removable lid—no more awkward angles or tricky cleaning rituals! Plus, the auto shut-off and boil-dry protection offer peace of mind, especially on busy or forgetful days.My only slight niggle is the noise level; it's a tad louder than expected during boiling, though this really isn't a deal-breaker given the kettle’s performance.Overall, it's a high-quality kettle that's both practical and stylish, and I'd happily recommend it.

Smart looking kettle that works well. Noise level is no more than you can expect and it boils water in next to no time. Blue light is cool and enhances the overall look of the kettle when in use. Seems well made and built to last so no regrets in ordering it.

This is the best kettle I have ever ownedThe fastest and quietestAnd it looks good
