Mueller Rapid Boil Glass Electric Tea Kettle

Most users report 2-5 minutes for a full boil, which is impressively quick. Multiple reviewers specifically mention being surprised by how fast it heats compared to their old kettles. That 1.8-liter capacity means you can boil nearly 2 liters in about the time it takes to grab your tea and cup.

It's both functional and beautiful. The blue LED illuminates when the kettle is actively heating, giving you a clear visual indicator that it's working. Many users mention enjoying the aesthetic appeal—it looks particularly nice on the counter—but it's also practical since you can glance from across the room and know your water is heating.

There is a plastic or silicone rim inside where the lid meets the glass body, and some users have noted this does contact the boiling water. While the kettle is marketed as BPA-free and most reviewers don't report any plastic taste, this is worth knowing if you're particularly sensitive to plastic contact with hot water. The body itself is borosilicate glass and stainless steel.

Yes, users consistently report the auto shut-off feature works as intended. The kettle turns itself off once the water reaches a boil, and there's also boil-dry protection if you accidentally turn it on empty. This makes it quite forgiving for distracted morning routines or multitasking while brewing tea.

The removable lid makes cleaning significantly easier than spring-loaded alternatives. You can actually get your hand inside to wipe down the interior, and the glass construction means you won't deal with mineral buildup causing pitting like you would with metal kettles. The glass also has water level markings, and there's a removable pour filter to keep things clean.

The 1.8-liter capacity is generous—great for multiple cups or entertaining—but several users mention it's larger than expected and quite heavy when full. The power cord is notably short, so you'll need to place it close to an outlet. If counter space near outlets is limited, measure before buying.
