Tea Kettles > below $30 Tea Kettles

Advantages: fast, convenient, portable
Disadvantages: is there one?

Very handy appliance. I prefer to use an electric kettle over a standard stove top kettle for three reasons. Firstly, it shuts off on its own as soon as the water comes to a complete boil.I never have to worry about forgetting about it and returning to find my water evaporated and the bottom of my kettle turning black (believe its happened!). Also, I dont feel the pressure to jump up and shut it off immediately to end that slightly obnoxious whistling. ...
...audible "click" to alert you its done. Secondly, it can be plugged into any outlet. Ever made dinner and want a cup of tea afterwards, only to have to stop to clear off the stove to find a free burner for your kettle? With this, you can simply plug it into any free outlet. Thirdly, the inside stays cleaner than my stove-top kettle. Lime scales do not build up, so there is never any scrubbing! This kettle does exactly what it says it will do. No ... Read review

Advantages: fast, reliable,nice,easy to clean
Disadvantages: a little small capability

...saw my friends using the Proctor Silex K4077 electric tea kettle that was more convenient than any I had ever seen. When I got the pay at the end of last month and purchased it immediately. It does all we expected. It's fast, reliable, and looks nice on my kitchen counter. It's great for entertaining, you are able to offer a hot beverage in just a few minutes. But it only has a 1.7 litre capability that is't enough to use for over five people. When ...
...touch, and the handle stays completely cool. The design is very nice and easy to clean. The base is especially well-designed. Another it's great useful to be able to see the water level and the water when it's boiling. when it reaches full boil, or the water is boiled dry, the auto shutoff feature will work well. I suggest you buy it, I just love it, it really does a great job. ... Read review

It heats fast and holds a good amount so I can make a whole teapot at once. ... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful look, handle is Ergonomic
Disadvantages: None

When I moved into my new apartment last year my inlaws gave me this tea kettle as a house warming gift. It is so good for heating up water for a cup of soup or tea. I also use it for instant coffee. The handle is nice and wide so you have no trouble getting your hand in there and it is angled too so it makes it much easier to pour. I love that it has a trigger to open the spout and that the handle is far enough away from the kettle that your hand ...
...but the look of it is beautiful. It is so shiny and has a nice rounded modern look to it. Also the bottom doesnt stain like other kettles because of the copper bottom. As far as tea kettles go i would definitly recommend this one if your out to buy one. ... Read review

Advantages: Very fast single-cup boiling
Disadvantages: None yet

BRAUN AQUA EXPRESS ELECTRIC KETTLE Having a kettle that will boil as much or as little water as you like is both environmentally friendly (you aren't boiling water you don't need) and an extremely speedy way to get that mug of tea or instant coffee to hand! The clearly visible water level is great as you can see exactly how much water is being boiled - I often use this when needing to boil water for rice etc, I pre-boil it in the kettle then transfer ...
...secure is also good! There are some brand names that, to me at least, ooze quality and Braun is one of them. This is a stylish item that doesn't look out of place in a modern or more traditional kitchen. I love my kettle and definitely recommend it! ... Read review
