Secura Double Wall Electric Kettle: Stainless Steel Water Heater for Tea and Coffee

Hillary: I went on a research bender for "no plastic" electric kettles. I really wanted a cute one--there are so many cute kettles out there, but I went with this Secura for these 3 criteria: 1) no plastic -- or none touching the water; 2) double-insulated so my daughter can safely use; 3) larger capacity...then, I guess 4) not ridiculously expensive. I don't want to pay $100+ for an electric water kettle.

Anyway, this one has been great. It heats up very quickly, turns off automatically. You can feel warmth on the outside when it is boiling, but it's a safe warmth.

As far as the plastic goes, when you open the lid, the plastic components of the lid and handle are outside and I feel safe with that. There is a small, hard plastic V around the spout, but it is outside the spout and it doesn't seem to come in contact with the steam or water. I think they did a thoughtful job with this design. It also doesn't seem like the stainless steel they used shows fingerprints!

I'm really happy with this after all the research I put into an electric kettle. I won't downgrade to 4 stars just because I would have preferred a different look.

firstgirl2: This is a wonderful appliance that does just what it should. We've never had an electric kettle before. It boils fast, is safe, and doesn't make the water for tea or coffee taste like metal. We do a single drip cup of coffee and the spout is fine; doesn't overpour unless you're in a hurry. I like that it is large enough to allow me to fill 2 mugs with hot water to heat up, before I empty them and make 2 cups of coffee. It lasted three years approximately. I must admit I did not clean the interior with vinegar as often as recommended. It is very solid and well-made. The exterior is easy to wipe off and doesn't smudge. This review may be an update. Anyway, I am buying another because I see no need to search out another brand.

RogueDrowRogueDrow: This kettle is fantastic! I am not versed in the art of terra, but beginning the journey. I love the romance of a Japanese Tsetsubin, but as a new tea drinker don’t want to spend $1,000 on a water kettle. This kettle is perfect for me. It’s all stainless steel interior means no plastic contaminating the water. It heats 1L in 4:16(minutes:seconds). It’s easy to clean as its stainless Steel and has a wide open top. As for warmth, this kettle keeps the water hot while the lid is closed while also keeping the exterior cool to the touch (double wall stainless steel). The kettle turns itself off when water is boiling, making it completely hassle free. It’s simple straight forward looks are a perfect match to store with my Kuerig. The only thing that i could point out (and this is truly nit picking) is the on/off toggle switch is plastic. I understand the function of it (it is lit), but it should have matched the rest of the design (stainless steel or black). The kettle is made in The USA, so it meets or exceeds the strict standards for manufacturing, safety and performance.

PCNiles: Update Feb 26, 2020: After using this kettle for nine months, I am downgrading my rating by one star. Reason being, it has a design flaw. When pouring water from it, it dribbles out from the lid. This is not caused by overfilling it (there is a line on the inside of it that advises of the maximum fill) but because of the design of the pot. The spout and the interior holes to the spout are aligned with the very top of the kettle. Therefore, when you tilt the pot, the water not only starts flowing through the spout but also dribbles out of the space between the pot and the lid. Unless you are extremely careful in how far you tilt the pot to pour out the water, and then continue pouring very slowly, you will inevitably get water dribbling out from under the lid, down the pot and/or onto your counter. It is annoying.

The other annoying feature to this pot which others here have mentioned are those interior level markings which are only on one side of the kettle and thus you have to pour water in from the left side of the pot if you water to read the markings at the same time. If you are using the faucet to fill the kettle (I don't, I use a Pur Water...
