JOYHILL Electric Kettle Temperature Control,6 Variable Temperature Tea Kettle, Stainless Steel Interior with 12 Hours Keep Warm,1500W Hot Water Boiler with STRIX Thermostat and Boil-Dry Protection,Red

The different temperature presets are great. I can have warm water for my kids without having to boil water in a regular electric kettle and randomly mix it with cold water or tell them to wait until it cools, which never works either. I can also heat water for yeast for bread making. I don't think it's super accurate (I picked 122 for yeast and it heated to 140 according to the kitchen thermometer) but it beats your typical electric kettle and having to wait much longer for water to cool.Yes, it does beep a lot, but if it doesn't beep to let you know it's done, then if you pick a preset temperature, there's no way for you to know it's reached it unless you hover over the kettle like a helicopter patent. So the beeps don't actually really bother me in the end. I thought they would be really annoying, but it's fine.The only major disappointment is the latch that keeps the lid closed looks like it's made of flimsy plastic. Technically it does not touch the water. But it seems like an oddly cheap point in an otherwise nicely made kettle. I probably would have paid a few dollars more for it to be stainless steel because it seems like this part will break soon (since you always have to open and close the lid), but until then, I intend to use the kettle as much as I can!

I have tried a few different kettles in the same price range. This is by far the best one so far. 1st, the 304 stainless steel in the kettle doesn't change colors. I have heated a few times, everything still looks the same, and clean. On the other cheap kettles, once you heated a couple times, you can start to see the discolorations. 2nd, the auto shut off actually works. Another brand I have used, the auto shut off doesn't work at all. It would keep boiling, but no shutting off. This one would boil for about 30 seconds to 1 mins, then auto shut off. well nicely done. 3rd, the bottom of the base actually have robber feet. This keep the base in place, and won't slide around. This might seem like a small thing, but its very helpful, especially on the kitchen counter. For the price, this is a great kettle!!!

We use this kettle daily to heat up water for morning coffee and occasional tea. It is quick, efficient, and I quite like the mint green color. I appreciate the various temperature settings and find it pretty easy to use. The only drawback is the lack of beeping when it's reached the desired temp--although, given the annoying sounds many electric appliances make, perhaps this is actually a great benefit. I am just absent minded enough that I sometimes get distracted after I've turned it on and miss when it's ready. But it's never hard to hit the button again and it heats up so quickly, it's really not that big a deal. I also appreciate it's large capacity. Definitely recommend.

So I went through four other kettles before this one and almost gave up. I just wanted something to heat water fairly quickly and keep it hot all day, not warm where it has to be reheated but hot! I wanted only healthy materials to touch the water, and I wanted the materials not to disintegrate into the water. I wanted the kettle to hold a good amount of water and be easy to maintain. This kettle exceeded all my expectations! A quick splash of vinegar to the hot surface at the end of the day removes hard water residue, and I easily refill my kettle for the next day. That's all the maintenance I do. It's fantastically easy to program. Super easy, super safe, super reliable, super unique compared to so many of the kettles out there. BUY THIS ONE!

Dangerous Product. After less than two years of light to normal use I smelled a plastic chemical oder. I emptied it an looked at the bottom to discover it was internally overheating and the plastic had melted showing wire. This could have easily started a house fire. Be aware.I contacted Amazon Customer service who told me they do not track or monitor dangerous products and there was nothing they can do. Buyer beware.

Much better than the one recommended by Consumer Reports.Pros:Price is a steal for the features.Shows current water tep.Quicker to heat than my 1200w microwave.Temp can be set 4 options plus 212F.It will hold the Temp set for at least 12 hours.Can be removed from the base for a couple of minutes, and when returned it remembers the settings.Even at 212F for hours, it is not hot to the touch.Very wide opening - I fits my hand for easy cleaning of the inside.Markings inside for minimum and maximum fill levels.All the normal safety features.Tha top doesn't leak when pouring.Good length heavy duty power cord.Well packaged.Cons:The manual is very detailed.And the unit doesn't have a way to have it start in the morning before I get up. But since the water here is maybe not the best, and therefore I typically boil it a long time to get rid of the chlorine, etc. - if I fill it before bedtime, turn on the Temp hold, when I get up the water is just right for a good cuppa and the chemicals have had time to evaporate.So, basically no cons.I am very well pleased with this purchase, and am thrilled at how little it cost compared with choices that are not as good and had less features.
