This Electric Kettle is quite simple without any frills. For the price, it does what it claims to do. It boils water quickly , the water level is easy to see and has the auto-shut off feature. I have used it reliably to boil water for tea, oatmeal etc. The water is quite hot, so use caution when pouring it out. The lid , can sometimes be hard to close & open.

I first became hooked on electric kettles when traveling in the U.K. and have kept putting off getting one. This is perfect for my six (O, heavens did I really say six!) cups of tea a day. Faster than the microwave (only because its actually boiled and hot) and no worrys about...did I leave the stove on as it has a brilliant auto shut-off. It even stays plenty warm enough to top off the first cup of tea. I love it, am only sorry it took this many years to indulge my self with such a simple product!P.S -- Terrific on snowy days when the kids come in and want hot coco...FAST! (Makes one feel like SuperMom for the rare second or two!!! <g>)

Have used the Bodum electric kettle for travel for years, but decided I'd purchase this Proctor Silex for the office since it was a few bucks cheaper. That was a mistake.Despite boiling and dumping out the water a half-dozen times, the water itself STILL tasted like "plastic." Ick. As a tea drinker, the quality of the water is key. Also, I found the general shape difficult to handle, the lid was hard to open, and when gently pouring the water it consistently (and dangerously) sloshed out the sides near the spout.Anyway, I ended up giving this one away and buying an additional Bodum electric kettle for the office. It's working great, just like the 10-year-old Bodum I take traveling. (I think it's also interesting to note that the classic, no-frills, usable design of the Bodum has remain unchanged in the past 10 years - Hey, if it ain't broke, don't 'fix' it.)

Questions & Answers

Which is cheaper to have gas or electric hot water heater?

May 22, 257 by anjoylus19

Just brought an older home with an outdated hot water heater in it-it along with my furnace are both gas. Got my first gas bill which was out of this world. Wanted to know if i should replace with a new gas or new electric heater?

Gas is nearly always cheaper, get one with a high energy efficiency rating. Tankless water heaters seem like a great idea, but the instantaneous loads on the electrical system are just crazy and will put most houses into a larger electrical service size $2300-3500 would not be uncommon for the electrical wiring costs alone, plus the cost of the unit, plus the cost of the plumbing. Making sure you have a 90% furnace and proper sealing and insulation would have a much quicker payoff.

Why is my electric hot water heater not heating?

May 22, 3255 by jeremyascent

Have replaced the heating elements and checked reading that they are at about 12-13 ohms each. Replaced both thermostats. Verified voltage coming into the hot water heater and to thermostats and heating elements are normal. So, water heater is receiving electric! When turn breaker off at breaker panel voltage = 0 and when turn back on, voltage around 240. There are no leaks and the water heater is about 7.5 years old. There is also no calcium buildup as I would have originally thought could have potentially been the problem. Again, new elements are giving proper ohms reading and support the size of the tank as they are 4500s. Total size of tank is 50 gallons.

You might want to make sure that you don't have a reversed polarity situation. You can do this by swapping the two hot wires on one of the thermostats (after killing the power of course) beyond that this is a stumper. If that doesn't work get an electrician (although you sound well versed yourself.)

Good Luck
