Proctor Silex 1 qt. Electric Kettle Reviews
After reading a few reviews that weren't all too positive on this kettle, I wavered back and forth on the decision to buy or not to buy. I finally decided to do so.
Though this electric kettle is ridiculously inexpensive through Kmart and Sears, it should be known that the quality of this item far exceeds the "cheap" price.
I've been using it at least twice daily for the past couple weeks I've owned it and am amazed at how efficient and friendly it is.
Some complained that there is plastic taste to the boiled water. The instructions state clearly that it should be broken in by boiling water...

I had a kettle before, the disadvantage of it was that it cannot automatically cut off power when the hot water is ready. I regret to buy that one, and I would like to buy a new one.
This one satisfies my requirements -- it is portable and flexible to use. In addition, the capacity of the kettle is enough for hot water drinking or tea making. The most important point for me is that it is auto-shut off. Since then, do not worry the electric power accident anymore. This kettle can handle that for me!!!! Do not forget that it heats water quickly.
Love the little thing... heats up fast. Like the Auto cut off
only regret is its tiny.. but i knew that when i bought it.
Sears had a great price so I jumped on it..
go Sears...
This electric kettle is great. I use it every morning to boil water to make coffee in a French press. I thought maybe, being plastic, it would have tainted the water with a plastic taste but it does not at all. I've even used it to hard boil eggs. Place 3 or 4 (depending on the size) in the bottom. Cover with one inch of water. Turn it on. After it comes to a boil & shuts off wait 15 minutes. There you go. A great multitasker.
Husband bought this because my parents overseas have one - and use it daily for their instant coffe. I works quick, but, I think heating up a cup of water in the microwave it just as quick. Think it's really just an extra appliance taking up counter space. The other night heard a click click and then realized that our visitors must have left the unit on all day. No water was left in it. I guess it doesn't have an automatic shut-off like our coffee-maker. Lucky our house didn't burn down. For now, we unplug it when not in use so it won't accidentally be turned on.
“This little kettle reminds me of the kettle i owned in Scotland!”
Although this kettle may not seem like much, its ability to heat water in a short amount of time is beneficial to the one who needs a cup of tea in a hurry very practical. Its low cost and high functionality has made the cost of this item at $19.99 well worth it. It prides me to know that sometimes a product might be cheap in price but retains its wealthy attributes. I recently purchased a hamilton beach kettle and it did not last 3 weeks, where as this kettle will reapeatedly survive for me for probably 3 years. I would recommend this product the the person with a low budget, but who needs it...
