Taylor Swoden Glass Electric Kettle with LED Light

It's genuinely quick—most users report 2-3 minutes to bring a full 1.7 liter pot to a rolling boil. That's fast enough to have boiling water ready before you've finished setting up your tea or coffee. The blue LED light gives you a nice visual cue when it's actively heating, so you'll know exactly when it's working.

Yes, actually. Several users specifically mention how quiet it is compared to other electric kettles. It won't be completely silent, but it's definitely not the loud rumbling type that'll wake up the whole house when you're making your 6am tea.

This is the honest trade-off with glass kettles—about a third of reviewers mention some staining or discoloration developing at the bottom after regular use. It doesn't affect performance, but if you live in a hard water area or want that pristine look long-term, you'll need to descale it regularly with vinegar or a kettle cleaner.

You can, but there's a technique to it. A couple of users found that tilting it too aggressively causes the lid to leak. Keep your pour angle moderate and controlled, and you'll be fine. It's not a major flaw, just something to be mindful of—especially if you're used to really tipping kettles to get every last drop out.

Absolutely. The auto shut-off kicks in as soon as the water reaches boiling, and there's also boil-dry protection if you accidentally turn it on empty. Multiple users mention this as a key safety feature, especially if you're multitasking in the kitchen or prone to distraction. It won't keep boiling and won't damage itself if you forget about it.

It does the fundamentals well—it reaches true boiling temperature quickly, the glass lets you monitor water clarity, and the 1.7L capacity is generous enough for multiple steeps or serving guests. However, it doesn't have temperature control, so if you're brewing delicate teas that need 175°F water instead of boiling, you'll need to let it cool or look at a variable-temp model. For black teas, herbal infusions, or anything that needs truly boiling water, it's a solid performer.
