Overview
A 1.2-liter capacity, a separate boil lever, and an adjustable keep-warm dial define the Elite Gourmet EKT1220M electric glass kettle. It's built for households that want one kettle to both boil water fully and hold it at a lower serving temperature for tea or coffee.
- 1200W element, up to 1.2 liters (5 cups)
- Separate boil lever and adjustable keep-warm dial
- BPA-free borosilicate glass with blue LED light
- 360-degree cordless base with cord storage
Who it's for
Good for people who drink tea or coffee at a specific temperature and want the kettle to hold that temperature rather than just boiling and shutting off. Less useful for anyone who wants a plain, single-function boil-and-stop kettle without a learning curve on the controls.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners who used the kettle daily for a year or more describe it as reliable and like that the dial keeps water at a chosen temperature all day rather than cooling off between uses. The main friction points are the controls: several buyers needed to read the instructions to understand that the lever always triggers a full boil independent of the dial, and more than one noted the kettle stays warm continuously unless it is unplugged. One long-term owner reported a small plastic trim piece near the handle wearing loose after about two years of daily use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Keep-warm dial holds a set serving temperature
- Boils in a few minutes on the dedicated lever
- Cordless base with hidden cord storage
- Wide spout with mesh filter reduces spills
- Stays warm continuously unless unplugged
- Dial and lever controls need reading the manual first
- Handle trim piece wore loose after about two years
Performance notes
A 1200-watt element brings up to 1.2 liters to a full boil in a few minutes when the boil lever at the base of the handle is pressed. The temperature dial sets a separate keep-warm target, and the kettle cycles on and off afterward to hold that temperature rather than boiling continuously. Auto shutoff and boil-dry protection cut power once boiling completes or if the tank runs low, and a mesh filter in the spout is meant to catch particles while pouring.
