From the Manufacturer desertcart Basics Review: So Much Faster Than I Expected - The best thing about this kettle is how ridiculously fast it boils water. I knew an electric kettle would be faster than heating water on the stove, but I was still surprised by just how quickly this gets the job done. For tea, coffee, hot chocolate, or anything else that needs boiling water, it’s incredibly convenient. The 1.7-liter capacity is a good size because I can heat enough for several cups at once, but the kettle doesn’t feel enormous sitting on the counter. I also like the glass carafe because you can immediately see how much water is in it instead of having to rely entirely on a little indicator window. Using it couldn’t be much simpler. Fill it, put it on the base, turn it on, and it shuts itself off when the water boils. The boil-dry protection is also reassuring because apparently I do not need one more household appliance depending entirely on me remembering to turn it off. It’s not fancy and doesn’t have a bunch of temperature settings or features I’d probably never use anyway. It just boils water, and it does that extremely quickly and reliably. For a basic electric kettle, this is exactly what I wanted. Review: Nice Quality Kettle - This review is for desertcart Basics Electric Glass and Steel Hot Tea Water Kettle, 1.7-Liter, Black and Silver. I got this to replace a stainless steel Ascot electric kettle which worked wonderfully for about 3 years and before that an Ovente cordless glass kettle which also worked for 3 years. I know it was 3 years because I am diligent with recording all my purchases and they all seem to die by the 3 year mark. I’m not sure if this is planned obsolescence but this has been my personal experience. I thought about getting another Ascot again but it’s expensive and if I’m only going to get 3 years out of it, why spend any more than what I have to for an electric kettle? Don’t do what I did thinking a more expensive one will last any longer! I went with this one because my parents have it so I know it works and it works well for them. Why not go with something I know works? I like it a lot and it boils water pretty fast. I like electric kettles for the convenience of being able to boil water and walk away knowing it would turn off once ready. Gone are the days of waiting patiently for the whistling of the kettle so that I can shut off the stove! Who has time anymore? I only use filtered water to make my coffee and tea and I normally check the temperature of the water before I use it depending on whether I'm making tea or coffee. Some things that I've observed, and others have pointed out, is that the water boils at 7 minutes and 30 seconds for me with 1.7L (Max) of filtered Brita water (whether refrigerated or room temperature). Obviously, the less water, the quicker the kettle comes to a boil (3 minutes for 1.0L). The kettle will automatically shut off when it hits about 210-212°F (based on the 3-4 readings that I've taken). This is a little bit too hot for my coffee and tea so I usually wait a bit for it to cool down to between 195-205°F for coffee and between 160-180°F for my tea. There are kettles out there where one can set the desired temperatures, but for the price and quality of this kettle I think it's working out fine for me. I like the wide opening because it’s easy to fill and also easy to stick my hands inside to clean with a sponge. I couldn’t do this with my last kettle and that was so annoying! Pro Tip: In my experience, if the kettle doesn’t turn on or seems dead, descaling the pot will often restore it back to normal. This was the case with my Ascot where once I descaled it, it worked again for several more months. I had to do this 3-4 times during those 3 years before it died completely. Also, if it doesn’t turn on after cleaning, try spinning the kettle to different contact points on the base. This too was the case with my old kettles. I had to slowly spin the kettle on the base to get it to light up and run. Eventually this didn’t work either so here I am once again looking for a new kettle! Overall, I'm pleased with this desertcart Basics kettle. I like the size, quality, design, features, and boil speed. I would still recommend it and I give it a 5.0/5.0. - 06/15/2024. ## Features - RAPID HEATING: Powerful 1500W heating element brings water to a boil quickly, saving you valuable time during busy hours. - SAFETY FEATURES: The electric kettle features both automatic shut-off function when water reaches boiling point and boil-dry protection that activates when there is insufficient water, ensuring safe operation and preventing damage to the heating element. - FOOD-GRADE MATERIALS: All water-contact materials are 100% BPA-free, ensuring your hot beverages remain free from harmful chemicals - PREMIUM TECHNOLOGY: Equipped with a high-quality Strix thermostat control system, known worldwide for its exceptional reliability and precise temperature management. - ELEGANT ILLUMINATION: The modern design is enhanced with blue LED lighting that illuminates while boiling, adding a sophisticated touch to your kitchen counter. - USER FRIENDLY: Carafe features a wide opening for easy filling and cleaning, plus a water level indicator for precise measurements. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07JZQ1MXT | | Best Sellers Rank | #404 in Our Brands ( See Top 100 in Our Brands ) #4 in Electric Kettles | | Brand | Amazon Basics | | Brand Name | Amazon Basics | | Capacity | 1.7 liters | | Color | Black and Silver | | Container Type | Kettle | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 28,317 Reviews | | Finish Type | Glass,Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00655772018359 | | Included Components | kettle bottom | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 8.74"L x 6.22"W x 9.41"H | | Item Type Name | kettle | | Item Weight | 1.13 kg | | Manufacturer | Amazon | | Material | Glass, Plastic, Stainless Steel | | Material Features | handle stays cool to the touch | | Model Name | kettle2 | | Model Number | F-625C | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Automatic Shut-Off | | Package Information | Kettle | | Part Number | F-625C | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only, Wipe clean | | Special Feature | Automatic Shut-Off | | UPC | 655772018359 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 120 volts | | Wattage | 1500 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Amazon Basics - **Capacity:** 1.7 liters - **Color:** Black and Silver - **Material:** Glass, Plastic, Stainless Steel - **Special Feature:** Automatic Shut-Off ## Images ![Amazon Basics Electric Kettle with Glass Carafe for Tea and Coffee, BPA-Free, Fast Boiling, Auto Shut-Off, Boil-Dry Protection, Water Level Indicator, 1.7 Liter, 1500W, Black and Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FcafxVweL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I don't like plastic inside on the lid! it could be made purely of stainless steel! why did someone answer that the kettle has no plastic inside?** A: You are correct. As you know, water boils and turns into steam. All of the steam will not escape the closed system, and much of it will contact the lid before recirculating into the reservoir. Also, the lid is in contact with the cooler air of the surrounding room, some of the steam will condense on the plastic. The condensation will drip back into the main water supply. Therefore, water that has contacted the plastic lid will be present in the water delivered to your cup, whether it splashes on it in liquid form or not. There are kettles available on Amazon that claim to have no plastic inside whatsoever. You may want to consider purchasing one of those like I currently am. **Q: how long is the cord?** A: About 3 feet. **Q: Must lid be closed in order for kettle to work? If you don't know, please don't answer. Thanks!** A: The kettle will start heating if you do not close or open the lid (for example, to add water), however, it will not turn off at all if the kettle boils and the lid is open **Q: For the part that touches water, are they all glass ? (Does the stainless steel base touch water?)** A: No- the bottom is steel. You can’t see it in the picture but that is the whole container- it sits on a base. I love this thing. I hate boiling water for tea.

But the 3rd time was the charm: the Amazon Basics electric kettle does everything right. I've been using it every day for 2 months now and there have been no glitches. It heats fast, has a pretty blue light, and goes off automatically every time. And it was less expensive than the two I returned! ## Frequently Bought Together - Amazon Basics Electric Kettle with Glass Carafe for Tea and Coffee, BPA-Free, Fast Boiling, Auto Shut-Off, 1.8 Quarts, 1500W, Black and Silver - Amazon Basics 2 Slice Toaster, With 6 Browning Settings, Extra Wide Slots For Bagels and Special Breads, Removable Easy-to-Clean Crumb Tray, Cancel/Defrost/Bagel Buttons, 900W, Black & Silver - BLACK+DECKER Easy Steam Compact Iron for Clothes, Automatic Shutoff, Nonstick Plate, Light Weight, 1200 Watts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/138763404-amazon-basics-electric-kettle-with-glass-carafe-for-tea-coffee](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/138763404-amazon-basics-electric-kettle-with-glass-carafe-for-tea-coffee) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
