1.7L / 7-Cup Stainless Metal Electrical Kettle with Cordless Pouring, Computerized Hold Heat Mode, Highly effective & Fast 1750 Wattage (AWK-1402SB)

Very sturdy and quick to heat up
This electric kettle was purchased to replace one that had gotten too old and corroded. It heats up quickly and stands up to almost daily use in our house. It does get hot because of the stainless steel but cools down quickly enough, so we haven’t had any issues with getting burned accidentally. The kettle is a bit noisy as it heats up, but since it’s very quick, it doesn’t really bother me. All in all, it’s a great electric kettle. Recommend highly.

This company does not honor the product warranty
The product worked well until it didn’t. At six months from purchase the lid would no longer stay closed when the water was being heated. I called the company to see if there was a replacement part I could order for the lid. They did not have lid parts or replacement options. They said they would replace the item. Great, right! I just had to send them photos of the product label on the bottom of the item with a photo of the original receipt, and a video of how the lid was not working properly. They were supplied with these photos and video. After receiving these items, they called and said they would not send me a replacement unless I cut the electrical cord and sent them a photo showing the kettle with a cut cord. When I asked if we could keep the broken kettle until the replacement was received and then send them a video of cutting the cord and then send them the broken kettle. They said no.

Perfect but no “Keep Warm” function as stated
Large, easy to clean, boils a full pot in 7-8 minutes. Seems like good quality. But I hoped it would have a keep warm setting and it does not. Must “re-boil” to make my second cup of tea.

Lightweight and fast but broke in less than 6 months!
I evaluated a couple other electric kettles sold on Amazon before choosing this one made by Aroma Housewares.I selected this Aroma Housewares kettle because it is considerably lighter weight and easier to pour than other top-rated kettles sold on Amazon. In my testing, I learned that glass or double-insulated kettles, while very popular, are bulky and weigh considerably more. Some of the top-rated kettles on Amazon also have very awkward pour handle designs, so that in addition to the weight they are very awkward to use.If you want a light weight kettle, a single-walled stainless steel kettle like this one is the best choice. I also liked that this kettle had a 1750W rating which should reduce the time required to boil water. I’m not sure how much improvement there is because I wasn’t able to compare with my old Aroma 1500W kettle, which had stopped working. Make sure your electrical circuit is rated to handle a 1750W kettle (you’ll probably want a dedicated 20A circuit).Disappointingly, unlike my previous Aroma Housewares kettle, which lasted several years, this one broke within the first six months. Like several other reviewers have mentioned, the lid will no longer stay closed. This defeats the auto-shutoff of the kettle and also allows boiling water to splash out of the kettle, making it dangerous to use.I disassembled the lid to try to determine why it would no longer stay closed. This is easier said than done. First, I had to pry the decorative stainless cover off of the lid. This required a metal mobile phone pry tool and a lot of patience. The edges of the lid are razor sharp and I managed to cut my finger in the process.After removing the decorative cover, I separated the top and bottom portion of the lid by prying against 6 tabs that lock top portion of the lid in place.Once I removed the top portion of the lid, I could see the problem. There is a coil spring that normally holds the lid latch in the closed position. The stop that this spring sits against had bent and was allowing the spring to buckle upward. The stop was also now in the way of the plastic latch mechanism and was preventing it from closing fully. I removed the spring and took a close look at the bent stop. The plastic has started to separate along the front edge of the stop, allowing it to bend backwards under the force of the spring. It seems like the stop is a very poor design. It is a small plastic tab with no ribs or bracing against the spring force. It’s in an area that repeatedly gets hot, which I suspect allows the plastic to soften over time. I also suspect that the coil spring is too long and puts too much force on the stop, accelerating the failure.I should also mention that when I originally purchased this kettle, I had to purchase and return two others before I got a working one. Maybe that should have been a clue that this kettle would not last very long, but given my previous experience with Aroma Housewares I wasn’t too concerned. I guess I was wrong!

Me encantó por su gran capacidad de agua y calefacción; deja el agua super caliente y muy rápido, listo para degustar un delicioso té o café ☕.
