Customer Reviews of Black & Decker CK1500R Cordless Electric 57-1/2-Ounce Dome Kettle, Red
Customer Rating:  Summary: Wonderful Tea Pot Comment: A lot of people take issue with where the handle is on this hot pot as it is just above the spout while pouring. However, I take no issue. I can pour just after the water has finished boiling and my hand barely gets warm. That was my only concern when purchasing this and and I love it. Customer Rating:  Summary: Leaks! Comment: I bought this product to use in my office and after just two uses, the unused water leaked out through the plastic window or possibly through the bottom. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice Look but (maybe) Not a Keeper Comment: I've had this kettle for less than a year and while I love the looks and design overall, I am having the same problem that others have mentioned: water leaking out the bottom of the kettle. Pros: - Nice color, doesn't smudge or look dirty as much as you'd expect - Inexpensive - Round, swivel base (doesn't matter what way you set it down) - Easy to see water level - Comfortable handling, pours nice and easy CONS: - When left standing with water in it, water leaks out the bottom to form a small (or large) puddle around the base. It's unclear how the water is getting out, because it only seems to happen every other time. - The lid is a little difficult to get off (which could be a pro because you know it wont fall off) and manuver around the handle, but you can simply fill the kettle by tilting it so that the water stream goes into the pour spout. So, I'll be contacting Black & Decker to get a replacement for this. But for the leaking problem, I would have given it 5 stars. On the plus side, even if I have to replace this once a year, I can buy 2 or 3 for the price that it would cost for another brand kettle. UPDATE: received the replacement from Black & Decker (didn't even have to send the old one in) and it's been working fine now for 2 weeks. Customer Rating: Summary: Kettle Leaks Slowly Comment: Black & Decker CK1500R Cordless Electric 57-1/2-Ounce Dome Kettle, Red I've had one of these B&D model CK1500R kettles for less than a year and during that time is has been used once a week or less. I recently noticed that it leaks slowly through the bottom of the kettle whenever water is left standing in it. I consider this unit very unsafe because anytime water and electricity mix the risk of electric shock is present whether the appliance is 'cordless' or not. Customer Rating: Summary: overall, a great buy Comment: Purchased two of these, one for my daughter and one for myself. Hers started to leak and had to take it back to B&D. Mine has worked wonderfully and I've found other uses for it besides teas and hot cocoa. I boil the water and pour it over food in a pot on the stove. Much faster than waiting for it to come to a boil on the burner! Read a previous review, and I don't have any problem with steam/pouring/filling. Just don't pour boiling water out when the lid is off... More Reviews Black & Decker Cordless Kettle in Stainless Steel. Enjoy the delicious hot beverages every time!

Choosing Appliance -> Stainless steel bowls These are the best all purpose bowls for a multitude of applications. Choose a wide range of sizes (be sure to get a large bowl for whipping egg whites and whipped cream). In general, the heavier the bowl, the higher quality. Choosing Appliance -> Dishwashers Check the capacity. 'Standard' 60cm wide dishwashers can take 12, 14 or 16 place settings, whilst slimline 45cm models may cater for 7, 8 or 9 place settings. Compact dishwashers tend to be 45 cm wide and can be placed on the worktop or built in, depending on the model. They may take 4, 5 or 6 place settings.

Useful info -> Built-in Ovens Built-under ovens may be single or double cavity and also need a separate hob. Double cavity ovens are essential if you want to cook one dish and grill another at the same time. |
