Cuisinart Cordless Automatic Electric Kettle KUA-17
I was looking for an electric kettle to boil water for tea that had the heating element hidden from the water. I bought this one because of my experience with other Cuisinart products. They are a little pricey but worth it for the quality. I am very happy with the product and the water is boiled just right.Cuisinart KUA-17 1-3/4-Quart Cordless Automatic Electric Kettle

Terrible Design -- DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL
We got this kettle, and it worked well for just under a year. Then it died. The problem had something to do with a faulty connection between the base and kettle, which made it impossible to boil water. I called a Cuisinart office in New Jersey (it was still under warranty), and they offered to replace it for "free," but they charged us shipping both ways. So we got a replacement kettle, which worked for about nine months, and once again the exact same thing happened. It wouldn't boil water anymore. Well, once again, I called them back again, and they sent us another replacement, but charged us shipping again. Clearly, it is most likely only a matter of time before it dies again.

More Chinese garbage for the landfill
Very Disappointed. Like most water boilers these days the hot water touches plastic, absorbs plastic molecules (cancer here we come...) smells like plastic and tastes like plastic. I bought another brand many years ago with no plastic parts and was VERY PLEASED. It still works perfectly (at another house on another island...) But now everything's made in China and cheap and unsafe and plastic. The temptation of The Graduate and we're too far down that steep garden path to claw our way back. Not all of us. I tossed mine in the trash so it could find it's final resting place in the landfill as all Chinese product so quickly do; and now I'm back to boiling my water in a big old stainless steel pot Made in Japan. I think I'm over buying new stuff. Got enough stuff to last this incarnation. Except for books. Buy my book on Amazon.
