Overview
Megawise's CX-817 is a 1.8-liter borosilicate glass electric kettle rated 1800W, sized for larger households needing several cups boiled at once, with auto shut-off and boil-dry protection.
One detailed reviewer timed their own boils and concluded the wattage claim doesn't match performance, estimating closer to 1000-1200W, while still calling it a capable kettle. A separate review describes a unit failing loudly with smoke after under three months of light use, a safety concern worth weighing against the many positive daily-use reports.
- 1.8-liter borosilicate glass body
- 1800W rated element
- Blue LED ring indicator
- Cord storage base
Who it's for
Households needing a large-capacity kettle for several cups at once. Not for anyone prioritizing the exact advertised wattage or wanting the lowest possible risk profile given one reported failure.
Pros and cons
- 1.8-liter capacity covers several cups at once
- Auto shut-off with boil-dry protection
- Stainless steel-lined interior, no plastic contact
- Actual boil speed measured below advertised wattage
- One reported unit failed with smoke after months
- Heavy to handle when filled
Performance notes
The heating element sits beneath a stainless steel-lined interior visible through the glass body, with an LED ring indicating when boiling completes. One reviewer's own timing found roughly 10 minutes to boil a full 1.8 liters, slower than the wattage claim implies.
