AmazonBasics stainless steel portable electric hot water kettle customer review
Reliable, easy to use/clean, and just overall wonderful.
I’m coming back over a year later to write this review. I love this electric kettle! I’ve used it continually every day for over one year and it still works the same as when it was new.
It heats a full tank of water(1L) in about 2 min. The one liter size is perfect for my French press and about 2-4 cups of tea. It has an awesome automatic turn off when the water comes to a roaring boil but does a great job insulating it so if you need a few before you can pour it will still be hot enough.
I clean it every couple of months with a 1:1 mixture of vinegar and water. I boil the mixture in the kettle and let sit for 15 min, then pour out. I then boil water in it and let sit for 5 min. Then I rinse it all off and done! Couldn’t be easier and gets all the mineral buildup off of it(I have extremely hard water).
I really like this electric kettle. It’s exactly what I needed and has been very reliable. I highly recommend it.

After 8 months, rust beginning to form
We purchased this in May 2018 or right now, 8 months ago.
The AmazonBasics price was and still is amazing. We knew we did not want plastic, which is typically at this price point. The kettle’s view port for seeing the water is plastic, but that’s the only piece that is plastic, outside of the lid and handle. The operation of the kettle was straight forward and we loved how the boiling base remained behind and the kettle could be taken to the table. The stainless was also pretty swanky looking and we appeared to have paid way more for something than we did. It seemed we had fallen in love with our stainless steel beauty.
Like most relationships, nagging things began to show up. It never left its wet towel on the floor or refused to put gas in the car, even when empty, but things cropped up.
Even when fully opened, the lid remains firmly in the way of an average adult’s hand trying to clean the inside. When you do manage to get your hand and sponge or cloth inside, you are blindly wiping the interior. Sometimes you feel like you did an amazing job, look inside, and realize you missed an entire area that’s still foggy-looking while the rest of the stainless is sparkling.
The cord is approximately 24 inches, which is fine, but it has nowhere to go to when not in use. So this length of cord is always introducing itself to other items on the shelf next to it. Most times it likes to be a loner and no matter how hard we stuff it in, the cord pops out and dangles from the base’s perch. You try to wrap it around the kettle, but at 24 inches, it is not long enough to get a good clinging wrap. So it again pops out and dangles with a “How you doin’?” to the items below it on the shelf.
These pale in comparison to watching the rust begin to form. Clearly the direct visible bottom is stainless and the seam at its edges is not. So now add the aggravation of trying to fit your hand in to clean and now trying to do something about the rust. My photo is after me getting a good wipe for the photo. The photo is looking down inside and the vertical post is where the handle exists. Rust is forming at the seam and even where that post connects at the inside bottom.
For the price, this was a great little kettle. We had no issues as other reviewer’s experienced. It just worked. It was used on average, once a day. Wiped clean, the best we could. And rust where the stainless ends and seam begins. Can I say I got my money’s worth? Yes. I just never believed I was buying a 12 month disposable kettle.
