Title: Perfect!
Review: This was a great purchase. I love hot tea. It is compact, sturdy and packs nicely in my luggage. I would never use an in room coffee maker and getting a good cup of tea can be very hard. This makes my hotel mornings pleasant because I can make a decent cup of tea. The temperature is perfectly hot, not lukewarm water. The auto shut is great as well, I highly recommend this kettle, especially if tea is your this when traveling.

Title: Excellent Quality, Perfect For Travelers
Review: This thing is so easy to use — just touch the (touch sensitive, not mechanical) power button once to turn it on and set it for 212°, twice for 176°, and so forth, then let it do its thing.Both volume and weight come in at exactly 14 ounces — two cups of coffee or tea, or if you drink it out of a mug like I do, one full mug :)I accidentally dropped this thing onto a wooden floor at a height of about three feet, and it was none the worse for wear — no marks or dents, and it still worked perfectly fine. There’s really not much to it. It’s very simple, and quite rugged.I placed an SPL meter right next to the unit, and it topped out at 62db as it approached 160°, then trailed off as the water got hotter (for reference, 62db is conversation level, or a fairly quiet office). It took exactly 7 minutes and 19 seconds to reach 212° Fahrenheit. The cord is 27″ long, minus the plugs.The unit gets comfortably warm to the touch, but not hot. The interior is made of aluminum, so you needn’t worry about any chemicals leaching into the water. It beeps three times to indicate when it’s reached your desired temperature, and automatically shuts off.There’s a little caution sticker on top to remind you to wait a minute or so before unscrewing the lid, because of the pressure buildup during the boiling process. If you attempt to remove it immediately, there’s a (vanishingly small) chance you could scald your hand due to that pressure buildup. There’s a vent at the top to greatly reduce that risk. If you overfill the unit (past the line indicator inside), the excess water WILL escape through that vent and pool around the unit, so don’t overfill!My only regret is that I hadn’t discovered this thing sooner. When travelling, I have found it to be a Godsend! Very highly recommended for travelers or RVers, etc.POSTSCRIPT: Amazon is reminding me to remark on its color and smell. There is no smell at all, either the unit itself or when in use. The color is a sort of off-white. I have seen some users express a desire to see this thing in different colors, so maybe the manufacturer will take note and make it available in other colors!

Title: Compact and exactly what I needed!
Review: This little electric kettle is exactly what I needed! It’s the size of a small/medium water bottle and it’s so easy to travel with; it fits in my backpack’s water bottle sleeve and the cord fits inside it, so it’s very compact. It’s been invaluable to me in making instant coffee, hot tea, instant oatmeal, and even dehydrated meals when I’m on the go. I’m so glad I purchased this!

Title: Perfect little travel kettle. Works great for on-the-go hot water!
Review: I was a bit skeptical at first about how well a portable electric kettle this small (400ml) would perform, especially for travel. But it totally won me over. It boils water quickly, has 4 useful temperature presets (great for tea, coffee, or baby formula), and the auto shut-off plus boil-dry protection make it safe and reliable.The design is spot-on for portability. Plug it in to heat up, then just unplug and take the whole thing with you (no separate base to carry). The 304 stainless steel interior feels high-quality, and it even comes with two packets of citric acid for easy descaling/cleaning, which is a nice bonus.One note: the handle is plastic (which keeps it cool to the touch and lightweight), but it’s sturdy and doesn’t feel cheap.Overall, this has become my go-to for hotel rooms, road trips, or office use when I need hot water fast without a full-size kettle. Compact, efficient, and does exactly what it promises. Highly recommend for anyone who travels or wants a mini boiler!

Title: Longish boil time
Review: Takes almost 11 minutes to boil the full 400 ml. Haven’t timed the other temps. This is a cute, portable kettle that would be easy to pack in a suitcase or bag for travel. We like this for when we know we will be arriving late to our hotel and food options will be closed. We can pack this and a couple freeze dried backpacking type meals for a meal in the room. Also if we want a cup of tea and don’t want to use a possibly gross coffee maker for the water. This kettle just takes a long time to boil water, so starting it right away and getting other things done while it boils is the move. I also like that it has different temperature settings so you can make green tea. Another possible downside to this type of kettle is that it does need to be plugged in. So not really a camping option unless you have electricity—might be great for RVs.

Title: Very good electric kettle and very sturdy.
Review: For a kettle that only costs $35.00 and comes with electronic temp settings I’m very impressed. It’s sturdy and feels like it’s made out of good quality plastic. The water heats up very quickly and the temperature can take a few seconds to settle and calibrate the final temperature but that would be nitpicking considering that this is a $35.00 water kettle. It works better than some kettles which cost twice the price. It’s packaged well, the company seems to respect it’s customers. I would buy it again.
