Chefman 1.8L Glass Electric Kettle

It's impressively quick. Most users report it boils a full kettle in 2-6 minutes depending on how much water you're heating. The 1500W heating element is powerful enough that you're not standing around waiting—perfect for those rushed morning tea moments or when guests arrive unexpectedly.

The borosilicate glass is pretty durable for normal use—it handles thermal shock well and won't crack from hot-to-cold transitions. That said, a few users mentioned it can break if dropped or handled roughly, so just treat it with reasonable care. The cool-touch handle and auto shut-off also help prevent accidents from overheating.

This is worth knowing upfront: some users (about 9 reviews) reported leaking issues, usually from the top rim seal or bottom seam. A few also mentioned the white rubber seal degrading over time. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it's common enough that you should inspect the seals when it arrives and keep an eye on them during use.

No, this is a basic boil-only kettle with no temperature settings. It heats water to a full boil and then shuts off automatically. If you're brewing delicate green or white teas that need lower temperatures, you'll need to let the water cool down after boiling, or consider a kettle with variable temperature control.

Several buyers noticed the Prop 65 cancer warning label, which understandably raised concerns. This warning is required for many products sold in California and doesn't necessarily mean the product is dangerous—it can be triggered by trace amounts of substances. That said, if this worries you, you might want to reach out to the manufacturer for specifics or consider a different kettle.

Yes, that's one of its standout features. The removable lid and wide opening make it super easy to reach inside for cleaning or descaling—no awkward angles or tight spaces. The clear glass also lets you see when mineral buildup is happening, so you can stay on top of maintenance. Users consistently praise how simple it is to keep clean.
