Overview
Amazon Basics' 1.7 liter glass electric kettle with a 1500W element, Strix thermostat, auto shut-off and boil-dry protection. Suits anyone who wants a fast, no-frills kettle for tea, coffee or reheating water.
- 1.7 liter glass carafe with water level markings
- Strix thermostat control system
- Blue LED illuminates while boiling
- BPA-free water-contact materials
Who it's for
Good for households that boil water daily for tea, coffee, oatmeal or instant meals and want speed over precision. Not for pour-over coffee drinkers or tea specialists who need variable or hold temperatures, since this model only boils and shuts off, with no temperature dial.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers repeatedly cite fast boil times and the audible auto shut-off click as reassuring. The main complaint, raised by one long-term reviewer, is that the unit failed around the one-year mark under daily use, suggesting longevity is the tradeoff for the price.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Boils water quickly for daily tea or coffee
- Auto shut-off and boil-dry protection built in
- Wide-opening carafe is easy to fill and clean
Performance notes
The 1500W element and Strix thermostat combine to bring 1.7 liters to a rolling boil in a few minutes, based on reviewer descriptions of quick boil times. Boil-dry protection cuts power if the base runs dry, and auto shut-off trips at boiling point rather than at a set temperature. Because there's no adjustable dial, every boil goes to full temperature, which suits tea bags and coffee but not temperature-sensitive brewing.
