GreenLife 1.7L Glass Electric Kettle

It's genuinely quick—reviewers consistently praise the heating speed as one of its standout features. You're looking at just a few minutes to get a full 1.7 liters to a rolling boil, which is perfect when you need your morning tea without the wait. The glass design also lets you watch the boiling process, so you can catch it right when it hits your preferred temperature.

This is probably the kettle's biggest quirk—the lid doesn't detach, which makes filling and cleaning a bit more awkward than kettles with removable lids. You'll need to tilt it to fill under the faucet, and getting inside for a thorough clean requires some maneuvering. If you're meticulous about descaling or like to scrub every corner, this design might feel limiting.

Glass means zero plastic contact with your water, which tea enthusiasts particularly appreciate because there's no risk of plastic taste or odor affecting delicate tea flavors. You also get a clean, modern look with the added bonus of seeing exactly how much water you're heating. The LED light base makes it almost like a little show on your counter—especially nice in the pink or sage green color options.

Yes, it has auto shut-off, which is a lifesaver for busy mornings or distracted tea drinkers. That said, a couple of reviewers noted it takes a moment or two longer than expected to shut off after reaching a boil—it's not instantaneous. But it does work reliably to prevent dry boiling if you wander off.

Absolutely. It's incredibly simple—just a one-touch on/off switch with no temperature settings to worry about. The filtered spout helps with controlled pouring, and the large 1.7-liter capacity means you can brew multiple cups or experiment with different steeps without refilling constantly. The glass body also makes it easy to see when you need more water, so there's no guesswork involved.

Most people receive theirs in great shape and love it, but there have been a handful of reports about units arriving with defects or showing signs of prior use. It's not widespread, but worth inspecting yours carefully when it arrives. The base design is fairly basic and some find it feels a bit cheap compared to the glass body, but functionally it does the job.
