Ovente 1.8L Electric Hot Water Kettle with Prontofill Lid for Quick Boiling

K Pete: This is a wonderful kettle if you're looking for something to boil water and don't want to spend too much money. It boils water and automatically shuts itself off when it boils, which does still work at higher altitudes where boiling point is a little lower. I haven't noticed any off flavors in my tea either. It's made of plastic, but it is very sturdy. My only qualm is that the cord is rather short (around 2-3 feet if I had to guess), but this is not uncommon with electric kettles.

Brooks Johnson: Got this one to quickly replace my last which just randomly died one morning...

Overall it works great, heats water to a boil with a good shut off. No other fancy heat control features on it.
Feels a bit flimsy with being full plastic - last one was glass and felt more stable with the weight. But for the price I can't complain.

Ludacris Speed: I like how good-looking this product is. I also like how easy it is to use. You just fill it with water, plug it in to the wall, and flip the switch at the top. And it boils the water. The interior light is a little bit soft. Like I wish it were a little brighter. And I wish there were a light on the little on off switch at the top. But that's just me being picky. This thing works so well that those little changes I would make wouldn't prevent me from buying it the way it is. The on/off switch flips off automatically so as not to keep heating the water. When it reached optimal temp, it stops. perfectly. it boils just enough water for my French Press, and with some to spare.

CommonsenseplzCommonsenseplz: I've been looking for an electric teapot at a good price for awhile now--tax included, it cost $17.28. Boiling water on the electric stovetop heats up the kitchen--and the microwave either takes too long to be sure it's boiling, or I wait too long and it's boiling over the top. I swear I almost exploded a teabag this summer.
This was not only a really good price, it's attractive on the counter--nice clean lines. When you turn it on, the water looks blue through the window, and you can see the bubbles start in just a minute or so--then it shuts itself off after the water has started to boil; you can tell from across the room because the water in the window is no longer lit up. So far, it has worked fine, even though it was in a box with another item, without any packing material and after traveling for five days, still didn't make it to my door. It's got a heavy-duty cord and the pot easily sits on the heating plate. (Maximum amount of water it'll boil is a little over 7 cups or 1 3/4 quarts.)

As long as it keeps working like this, it's well worth every penny.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: So far I love it but I've only used it once to see how long it took and make sure the light and automatic shut-off was working properly. Both worked wonderfully, lights up while it's on and shuts off when it's done. At max capacity with cold tap water it took approximately 10 minutes to boil. This is not maintaining a bubbling, rolling, overflowing boil, in case someone for some reason expects that, but it is and it's perfect for my uses(reg and loose leaf tea and the occasional instant soup). To clarify it does bubble up for those of you who may not know how these kettles work that is what triggers the shut-off so it then goes back to its resting state. The handle remains cool enough so no danger there, the body of it is decently hot though as is to be expected. Currently it has been shut off for 14 minutes and is still steaming. The way I drink tea I could easily drink a cup and still have enough hot water for another which is kind of awesome.
Cons:
The plastic is obviously a little cheap feeling as a few others have mentioned. This is really inconsequential to me as the price is low enough I would expect Something to be on the cheaper and I'd rather it be that than say...
