BELLA (14762) 1.8 Liter Temperature Control Electric Ceramic Kettle with Digital Touch Interface, Automatic Shut Off & Detatchable Swivel Base, White Marble

This has become one of my most used appliances! It brings water to a boil in half the time it takes in the microwave, let alone the stove. Not only does this save time when making tea (which I use it for multiple times a day,) but I also use it to bring water to a boil to save time when cooking things such as pasta or steamed vegetables. (Pour the boiling water into the preheated cooking pot/pan, don't attempt to cook in this kettle!) I also sometimes take it out of the kitchen so I can have a second/third/seventh cup of tea while working in my home office or watching tv. This kettle is pretty- it looks good on your counter, and nice enough to use for serving guests in a more formal setting. I got the silver tile color, and the silver design is actually metallic, not a flat grey. I hosted a tea party themed shower with pots of loose leaf tea. I was able to quickly and conveniently heat water to fill and refill the teapots because of this kettle, and got many compliments on it. The kettle is incredibly easy to use and maintain. I follow the manual's cleaning and care instructions, and mine is still working and looking like new, despite heavy use and hard water. I love the safety automatic off switch. Another feature I love is that the cord can be wound up and stored under the base. 2021 edit: The original kettle I reviewed is still working fantastically, even after a cross-country move. I recently decided to get a second kettle for my home office, so I can make tea at my desk without having to haul the kettle from the kitchen every day, or go without it in my kitchen. (Yes, I use and love it that much!) After trying another brand and receiving a dud I returned it and went for my beloved Bella model. However, this one was defective. I filled it with water halfway between the minimum and maximum full lines, placed it on the base, and flipped the switch and nothing happened. I’m not sure if this was a defective product, if the quality has dropped in the last 6 months, or if this was simply damaged in shipping: it arrived in the original box with no outer Amazon box, and the box was dented/scratched up and had large holes punched on either side (Amazon, take note: I would have been furious if I’d intended to give this as a gift.) so it had clearly received a lot of very rough treatment during shipping. I chose to leave my rating at 5 stars as I do feel it’s an excellent product and assume I had some bad luck with damage done during shipping, but I admit my confidence in the brand is a little shaken.

Our old teapot died so we bought this one for a replacement. Both are the Bella brand and our old one lasted several years under heavy use before going dead. This one heats the tea water very quickly and we use it for tea and coffee both. Very happy with the Bella brand and we're also happy with the aesthetic appeal of the ceramic exterior. This is a really good tea kettle and the fact we don't have to put it on the stove is a big plus. The base heats up the water pretty quick and that just makes this tea pot very useful! Very happy with this purchase and we highly recommend!

Boils water relatively quick. It is pretty heavy. I need to use 2 hands to hold it after filling/boiling - if I use one hand I'm shaking. I don't mind it though because it is made of ceramic. I tried using a metal one before & it rusted. Then we switched to a plastic one and after a while it started smelling like burnt plastic. I have kids at home; if it was just myself I won't be as concerned but I don't want my kids drinking water that's smelling like burnt plastic. So I decided to spend more on getting ceramic. So far it's been a few months and has been holding up well. It's also made with pretty thick walls so I'm not too scared about it hitting the wall or the table. But I do put it down gently & take care of it. It's also nice and pretty in my kitchen. I have an open kitchen so I do try to buy things that are more decorative.

It's Much more beautiful than a photo, practical and big. I simple love it!

This kettle is really beautiful and a good size. Be aware that being made of thick ceramic it is quite substantial in weight and when filled with water even more so. The main body of the outside does get quite hot so it is a bit difficult for someone with arthritic hands to handle. The reasons I didn't give it five stars is that it takes a long time for a full kettle to come to a boil and the on/off switch does not automatically turn off as it should when the water boils.

I have a history of buying kitchen items and then regretting it later because we don't use them enough to justify the counter or cupboard space that they occupy. I am happy to say that this is not one of those purchases! I really like the style of this electric kettle and the quality of the materials. It is very easy to clean. I love that it is made of ceramic and metal rather than plastic. It is heavier than the cheap electric kettles I have used in the past, but the superior quality is definitely worth the weight difference. It's still easy to lift and pour, and is much lighter than some of the kitchen items that I use on a daily basis (cast iron anyone?). We have been using the kettle multiple times a day and it looks the same as when I took it out of the box. So far, I am really pleased with it. Update: we have now had this product for two years and we use it everyday. The photo is from today and it still looks brand new. :) I love how dependable it is!

Me encantó yo pensé que era acero inoxidable pero no es en vidrio y la verdad queda bien bonita. Calienta rápido y a buena temperatura para los mates. La recomiendo. Aproveché la oferta y quedé encantada :)

Es Hermosa y excelente calidad y acabados. cumple al 100 su propósito, y tiene una excelente capacidad, es un poco pesada, pero vale totalmente la pena!!!!

Estéticamente perfecta, su funcionamiento impresionante, tome con cronómetro la velocidad con la que hierve 1 lt de agua y los hace en 3:30 minutos, la mejor inversión

Quiet, stylish - really nice

Calentar agua en este aparato es muy cómodo y rápido, además es muy decorativa.
