Toastmaster 1.7L Electric Kettle

It's genuinely quick—multiple users specifically praised how fast it heats up. If you're making a morning cup of tea or need hot water for pour-over coffee, you won't be waiting around. That said, one reviewer mentioned it took longer than expected, so 'fast' here means a few minutes, not instant. Still much faster than stovetop.

It's legitimately convenient. The kettle lifts right off its base, so you can bring it to the counter, the table, or wherever you're brewing without dealing with a cord. Several users called this out as a favorite feature. It's well-balanced when full too, so it doesn't feel awkward to carry around.

That's about 7 cups of water, which is plenty for multiple servings or filling a larger teapot. One reviewer noted it has a 'good capacity,' though a couple people said it was smaller than they pictured. If you're used to a massive kettle, this might feel compact—but for most tea drinkers, 1.7L is a solid sweet spot between convenience and counter space.

It works. Users mentioned it shuts off automatically once the water boils, which is great for safety and peace of mind if you're multitasking in the kitchen. You're not going to accidentally boil it dry or leave it running.

Here's the honest answer: most users love it and find it reliable for the price, but there is a durability concern. A couple of reviewers reported the base spout melting after about three years of use. So it's not a lifetime kettle, but for the price point, getting several years of daily use is reasonable. If you want something that'll last a decade, you might need to spend more.

Yes! Multiple people specifically mentioned loving the 'attractive red color' and how it looks on their counter. It's a bright, cheerful pop of color. Just keep in mind the construction is plastic, so it's not going to have that premium metal finish—but the color itself seems to deliver.
