Overview
Megawise's CX-817 is a 1.8-liter borosilicate glass electric kettle rated 1800W, sized for larger households needing several cups boiled at once, with auto shut-off and boil-dry protection.
One detailed reviewer timed their own boils and concluded the wattage claim doesn't match performance, estimating closer to 1000-1200W, while still calling it a capable kettle. A separate review describes a unit failing loudly with smoke after under three months of light use, a safety concern worth weighing against the many positive daily-use reports.

Who it's for
Households needing a large-capacity kettle for several cups at once. Not for anyone prioritizing the exact advertised wattage or wanting the lowest possible risk profile given one reported failure.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Most reviewers report fast, reliable boiling with auto shut-off working as expected, and like the visible glass body and blue LED ring. One reviewer measured performance well below the advertised 1800W, and another reported the kettle failing with a loud bang and smoke after under three months of light use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 1.8-liter capacity covers several cups at once
- Auto shut-off with boil-dry protection
- Stainless steel-lined interior, no plastic contact
- Actual boil speed measured below advertised wattage
- One reported unit failed with smoke after months
- Heavy to handle when filled
Performance notes
The heating element sits beneath a stainless steel-lined interior visible through the glass body, with an LED ring indicating when boiling completes. One reviewer's own timing found roughly 10 minutes to boil a full 1.8 liters, slower than the wattage claim implies.
