This is Krups Model Number BW442D50, the 1.7L Electric Stainless Steel Kettle. Though this stainless steel Electric Kettle is offered by various retailers, we were able to get this one from Walmart at a little over $39.88 NOT including tax...It is considered the Medium~ to upper level Stainless Steel Kettle on the market today.
The Stainless Steel Kettle comes~ somewhat-well~ packed. There are no molded paperboard packing here...protecting it from movements. It is just placed neatly on the bottom with 2 separating card boards to protect itself from jolts and jiggles.
Here is what the manufacturer specs says~ and what we like about it.
-1.7L electric kettle equivalent to 0.45 Gallon or 57.48 ozs or 7.088 US Legal Cups.
-Concealed heating element for fast boiling and easy cleaning...
-360-degree rotational power base.
-Auto shut-off after water boils or if kettle is empty
-Removable anti-scale filter~ Makes cleaning easy
-Dual water-level indicators~ Nice extras
-Button-activated flip-cover opening for easy filling at the sink…..
-The lid flips high and wide~ like 90 degrees
-On/off switch under the handle.
-Contemporary lines with brushed stainless-steel finish.
-1500 watts of power.
The weight comes in at
7.6 ozs for the Electric base boiler
2lbs 4.6ozs for the Glass Kettle
Total weight at 2lbs 12.2ozs
It ONLY comes with a manual written in English, French, and Spanish. Krups International Guarantee for parts and/or customer service comes in many lauguages.
16.9 fl oz of Deer Park water took 2.38 seconds to boil. This was one of the best in it's class for speed.
Outside of what is stated, here is what we have found.
-Though the outside maybe attractive with Stainless Steel..the inside did not share the same resemblance...After our first boil test completed, we noticed strong smell of plastic. The inside of the kettle is 75% plastic. Only the bottom of the kettle is steel. The entire circumference of the inside is plastic. As a word of suggestion, boiling several liters of water should rid of the smell.
-There is Steel Rod inside of the Kettle for fast boiling. Unfortunately, wiping and washing may be a bit of challenge.
-Hands fits nicely inside the Kettle for cleaning.
-The Power cord comes in it 35”~ making it suitable length for any place on the kitchen top counter.
-The cord is nice and thick; however, it could use a retractable pulley system to wind the cord in and out.
It comes with 2 year Guarantee. Exclusion & Conditions apply. Should you have any questions or concerns please comment below.
