I am looking to buy a new electric kettle. I purchased one not too long
ago - a Braun - on the recommendation of this group.

It looks like the one I bought is no longer available - which is a
bummer - because I really like it.

This is the one -except in black. Price is obscene. I paid maybe 45
dollars for mine.

http://tinyurl.com/afqo94

Anyway, I need one for my office and I have been looking at all sorts of
kettles and every time I think I found one I like, I read a bad review
which turns me off.

Anyone use a cordless kettle they really like?

Thanks.

We have a Zojirushi found here;

http://www.zojirushi.com/ourproducts...ts/cw_pzc.html

We are THRILLED so far it has lasted 4 years with perfect efficiency. We
got the idea from my SIL who had one in continuous use for 8 years before it
needed replacement. We not only use it for hot tea but almost anyplace we
need hot water o starting to cook hot cereal for example.

A little expensive but well worth the price.

I have that Braun kettle, works great... I paid $40 for it 5 years
ago.

I think that price is a typo... they have it in black for $70.

Thanks for the link to call. They didn't really have an answer though.
It's not a typo. Some other "seller" not amazon is offering it for that
obscene price. I have a feeling the model was discontinued and people
are taking advantage of that.
Someone is selling it for 70 but I am hesitant to buy from some random
person.
Maybe I'll contact Braun to see what's up.

You can find contact info he braun.com

I think the $70 price is about as low as you'll find... seems
everything has gone up in price substantially of late.

I did go to Braun site. It linked me to some other site called where I
could buy a replacement jug and a replacement base for basically 70
including shipping.

Things really are more expensive these days. Well, at least it's not my
money. I am buying it for the office. I try to watch what I spend for
work, but I don't want to buy a piece of junk for 20 or 30 dollars, when
I know this product works well.

I have a cheap stainless steel GE kettle, purchased from Wal-mart a few
years ago. I think it was $27. Works great.

I'd like to have one of those 3500W British electric kettles that will
boil a liter of water in 15 seconds. (That was hyperbole, don't you
engineers start doing the math.) I know I'd have to run a 220v circuit
to the kitchen to use it.

Do you need *boiling* water, or just hot water? You can get a 30-cup
percolator for about $30 new (I think) or $5 used (at the Goodwill store.)

My last electric kettle was one of those UK things, those dinosaurs
are awful for many reasons

For safety she wants the cordless type. Of all those out there this
Braun is the best. Everything is absurdly expensive these days... and
it's gonna get a whole lot worse... this is the price to a society
that chooses to live in debt.

Yeah, I need boiling water. It's really for the boss. Our office moved -
we had a full kitchen with a stove. Since we don't have it anymore I am
trying to console him with an electric kettle to satisfy him. I know the
Braun works great - so I will likely buy it for $70 and get it over with.

I bought the Capreso glass one. It's very pretty and it heats up the
water very fast.

This one appeared on the same Amazon page:

http://www.amazon.com/Proctor-Silex-...ic/dp/B00023XC
WS/ref=pd_sim_k_2

My sister has one, and it's great. It's also US$15, and available at
major stores in the US. It's not cordless, but the cord detaches from
the pot, so you can use it like a pitcher without the cord dangling
around. It heats very quickly, and shuts itself off

You're right. That is an obscene price. I have an electric kettle that I
paid about $30 for. I don't know what kind it is. It has been cleaned so
many times that the name has come off, but it is more than 10 years old.
I put water in, turn it on and the water boils. What more do you need in
a kettle. I was thinking of replacing it with a nice stainless kettle,
but they were more than $100. Nuts to that.

In this case (the Braun), I think it is clear case of taking advantage
of the fact the model is no longer available. People will pay. Not me
- but others will.

No. But I wish the one we have would break down and die so we could
replace it.

It's a Russell Hobbs stainless steel cordless kettle and wasn't cheap.
In fact, it's the most expensive kettle we've ever bought. But we
thought it would be "value for money" in the long run. And in terms of
longevity it has been very cost effective compared to previous
kettles.

On the plus side it looks great, has a small footprint, is very robust
and, has outlived our previous kettles - which would last around four
years max before burning out or developing a leak. Our last one lasted
less than two years.

On the minus side it is agonisingly slow and - as the water FINALLY
comes to a boil - sounds like a runaway freight train reaching a
hysterical orgasm. Thankfully, we have no neighbours close by or
they'd complain about the noise.

We've been hoping it would breakdown for the past seven years!!! But
it just keeps sitting there mocking us every time we boil it up for a
cuppa.

Here's a thought ... why don't we give it to you as an early Christmas
present? What's your address?

FYI, Aldi's has a special purchase 1.8 liter cordless electric kettle
this week for $13. The picture in the flyer looks like a knockoff of a
Braun.

Does Aldi have "National Pricing" in the U.S.?

Thanks, but there aren't any Aldi's in Massachusetts. Sounds like an
interesting store though.

Next time I am in Rhode Island or Connecticut I will check it out.
