I have had this Toastess TJK-100 electric kettle over two years. I used it in my dorm room when I was a university student. Now it still does a good job. There are some negative reviews online, but I am happy with my purchase. I will share my experience about it in here.

Sides get hot while heating, but not a problem. It is a great little kettle. Strong and durable. ... Read review
