!±8± Bodum 5600-01-03US Curl Cordless Electric Water Kettle, White with Black Lid
Shaped like a carafe, the Curl water kettle is sized to boil water for about 5 or 6 servings of instant coffee, tea, or soup. Made of heavyweight polypropelene plastic, the kettle holds a maximum of 47 ounces (1.4 liters) and must be filled to a minimum of 15 fluid ounces (.45 liters)--just enough to cover the heating element--to operate. The cordless kettle locks into a small plastic electric base containing a thick-film heating element. The base takes up little counter space and allows the kettle to swivel in any direction for convenience. A floating red water level indicator on the outside of the Curl rises as water is added and shows how many cups of liquid it is holding. However, the indicator is often difficult to see within the Curl's four tiny bubble windows. A switch below the kettle's handle flips up and illuminates to show that the power is on. The heating process is rapid and quiet: it takes about 4 minutes to boil the full 47 ounces of water and the sound is almost imperceptible. For safety purposes, the Curl automatically shuts off after boiling. For safety, the kettle has a hinged spill-proof lid that opens only by a push button and a frosted handle for a secure grip. A snap-in filter within the lid is easily removable for cleaning. --Cristina Vaamonde
