Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Braun WK600 Impressions 7-Cup Electric Kettle, Brushed Stainless Steel
Customer Review: great for almost 3 years
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this kettle in December of 2006 from Amazon and have used it almost daily since then and been very happy. True, after a few months it turned a little brown at the bottom where the heating element is, but since you can easily scrub the brown away I assume it is a deposit of iron oxide from the water rather than corrosion of the kettle. Since this is purely cosmetic and not visible I left it alone.
The design is great, for instance that the base is not directional and stores extra cord. Only the water level display is not exactly easy to read, but I have yet to see a kettle where this is easy.
Now the downside: A few days ago it started leaking, less than 3 years old. I looked into it: One of the level displays developed a crack. Doubting I can find replacement parts I thought I just buy a new one. On December 13th 2006 I paid $52.88 on Amazon. How was I shocked to see it is now selling for $200! How can that be? I knew it was a great deal back then, but $200? I would not have bought a kettle for that back then and won't now. Luckily, by googling I found a replacement kettle (without base) for $60 (+$10 shipping and tax). The base can be bought for $25, so you still should be able to get this great kettle for app. $100!
