Customer Reviews of Chef's Choice M677SSG Cordless Electric Kettle-Stainless Steel Gray
Customer Rating:   Summary: Warning to all who want a non-plastic-y kettle Comment: Hi, If you are like me and is considering purchasing this product so you don't boil water in any sort of plastic container, then beware: Though this kettle is entirely stainless steel on the inside as well as the outside, there are two little holes on the inside, near the handle, where the water goes through for the water indicator. Unfortunately, these two holes are insulated (waterproofed) with some sort of rubber/soft plastic substance, and the water indicator itself is made out of plastic rather than glass. Besides that, this kettle does its job very well and I think most of the other reviews already pointed out the goodness and flaws of it. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice electric kettle Comment: I like: - The stainless still design - Boils the water quickly - Round base - easy put back on base from any direction I don't like: - The cover cannot be detached - inconvenient to fill water or clean - The water level indicator is behind the handle - difficult to see Summary: Does the job very well and also looks good, slightly inconvenient to fill and clean. Customer Rating: Summary: Long time tea drinker Comment: I got the Model 677 about 2 months ago as a replacement for a similar item received as a gift several years ago. This kettle makes hot water just fine - very happy with that part. It is also the right size, and capacity. The issue with it is the lid. There is no reason to have an attached button actuated lid. That one feature obstructs cleaning the inside, and provides opportunity for breakage. Breakage either due to mechanical failure or accident seems almost certain. The "old" kettle had a removable lid -- perfect! I strongly recommend Chef Choice produce this with a removable lid, with the same size opening as the model 677, or larger. The other problem with the lid is that my wife cannot hold the pot under the faucet because of a shoulder / arm problem. She must sit it down fill it, then lift with both hands. The lid does not open far enough to do this. It would have to open at least 90 degrees, and that would be a problem for many sinks. So the simple and correct solution is removable lid! One last item, as others have noted in their reviews, the level indicator is hard to read. It easy to read on the old model (Toastess I believe it was). Customer Rating: Summary: Hot stuff! Comment: Does exactly what it's supposed to do and looks classy on the counter top. Is it my imagination or does my coffee and tea taste better? Customer Rating: Summary: good wallpaper steamer Comment: I loved the look of ths electric kettle but it took so long for the automatic shut off to kick in that my ceiling paint would have been peeling before very long. I returned this kettle. More Reviews 
Choosing Appliance -> Salad spinner While some may consider this a bit on the gadgety side, I think it is a must as dressings do not stick to water-logged salad greens. Choosing Appliance -> Dishwashers Look for models with adjustable baskets and flexible internal layouts for varying load requirements. For example, a tilting upper basket allows large 30cm diameter plates in the lower basket and extra flaps can be raised or lowered to cater for small items or large pans.
