Overview
A 1 liter double wall electric kettle with a fully stainless steel interior, so no plastic or glue touches the water. Auto shut-off and boil-dry protection are built in via a Strix control, and the cool-touch outer shell stays safe to hold while it boils.
- 1.0 liter capacity, double-wall stainless steel interior
- British Strix auto shut-off and boil-dry protection
- 1000W heating element, 120V 60Hz, ETL approved
- Cordless pour, 30-inch cord power base
Who it's for
Anyone who wants a small kettle for tea, coffee pour-overs, or quick cups and specifically wants to avoid plastic touching hot water. Less suited to households that want a large-capacity kettle for several cups at once, since 1 liter is a personal to small-family size.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners who searched hard for a kettle with no plastic touching the water repeatedly landed on this one, and several report daily use for years with zero issues, including one household still running theirs after six years. The recurring complaint is a leak developing at the spout seam after roughly five months, plus one owner noting the handle grew hot and the power switch began sticking after about fifteen months of use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Stainless interior with no plastic or glue contacting water
- Boils about a liter in around 5 minutes
- Auto shut-off and boil-dry protection built in
- Cool-touch exterior safe to handle while heating
Performance notes
The Strix control shuts the element off automatically once water reaches a boil and again if the kettle is switched on empty. Reviewers who timed it put a full liter at around 5 minutes to boil. The double wall construction is meant to hold heat a bit longer and keep the outside cool enough to touch safely while it works.
