Cuisinart Soho 1 Liter Double Wall Electric Kettle, Black

Seems sturdy and well made. Auto shutoff works. This one is lower wattage than many which I wanted in order to run from generator or battery during power outages, so it probably takes a little more time to heat. My ONLY criticism would be that the lid should open a little wider for pouring water in from a cup, it's a very minor inconvenience. After looking at so many brands I have no regrets with this choice.

I use this every day. It boils water very quickly and is big enough for my family of one. Be careful around the spout when it is boiling as the steam that comes out is super hot. The auto shut off is a great feature and I have not had any disappointment with this kettle.

This kettle is very convenient and heats water very quickly, probably just a couple minutes if only making a large single cup of tea. It doesn't take up a huge amount of real estate on the counter, and I think it looks nice too.There are two things that I don't like about it:1) The lever in the back that opens the lid does not open it all the way. To fill it with water you still have to touch it with your hand and open it the rest of the way. That's fine when it's cold but it's not fine when it's still hot.2) On one occasion when water was heated again shortly after the unit had turned off, the automatic shut-off did not function and it stayed on for a long time until I finally turned it off manually. This is not the norm but it does make me nervous, and I don't trust the auto shut-off. We're typically not going to far though if we are heating up water so it's not a deal breaker.

Love it! Bought this to replace an electric kettle with plastic walls, due to concerns about toxic chemicals leaching. I love that there is no water/plastic content in this kettle! As others have noted, the color is not a black-black. It's more a slightly brown dark grey. I actually think it's lovely, and it fits well in my kitchen with a lot of black and black/stainless appliances. Not a perfect match, but doesn't clash.The water heats up quickly, and the auto-shut off gives me peace of mind! All in all, I'm so pleased!A final note - I really like the 1 L size. A LOT of kettles are 1.7 Liters, including the one I just replaced. But it's just me, and I don't really need that capacity. This fits better in my smallish kitchen, so the smaller size is a win for me!

Simple design and aesthetically pleasing. You push the button to turn it on and it shuts off automatically when removed from the base to pour.

I’ve only used this kettle once but I love it already! This is our first electric tea kettle and I’m impressed. It heats fast enough and pours great. Easy to clean. We went with the black color but the color is more like a matte dark gray. The brand’s website says the color is ‘warm black’. I’m ok with the color, it still looks nice.

This is an excellent electric kettle. Outside does not get scalding hot, but water comes out very hot. Great pour, and easy to fill and clean.

Boils water like it’s supposed to which was my only expectation. Small footprint on my counter. Love the almond color. Reasonable price. So far so good.
