Great kitchen item (see other reviews). Pretty design BUT... I gave 4 stars not 5 due to the hassle of having to exchange the 1st unit I got in "matte silver" -which in person is really gray plastic (not at all the stainless steel look I expected). I sent it back and got the chrome, much classier.

I bought this kettle because I loved the glass carafe and that I could see the contents of the kettle and I really liked the overall design. But I was completely disgusted with the results!

I always use filtered water for cooking and drinking because I am quite sensative to tastes and odors in my water. The filtered water I put in this kettle tasted FINE, but after the boiling routine was complete, the water smelled and tasted like a swimming pool. I took a sip of tea I made from this kettle and spit it across the room (a la Kramer)! The most foul chemical smell and taste I have ever known. I cannot believe that anyone else using this kettle, or in fact the manufacturer, would not notice it. I washed the kettle with soap and emptied it after each use, but even after a week, the same foul contamination was occuring as a result of heating the water in this kettle. If I left a small amount of water in the kettle for even an hour, I could watch a thick chemical buildup forming on the chrome heating dome that I could wipe off with my finger, like a BAD science project.

I don't know what is wrong with this thing, but it is truly scary. I am warning all consumers to stay away from this chemical hazzard producer and find another way to heat your water!

Note: If you want to better understand the problem, walk into any Bed Bath & Beyond or Linens & Things store and sniff the inside of the carafe they have on display. There is clearly something wrong with the materials used in the manufacturing of this item. It CAN'T be safe.

We've had this kettle for a couple of months now, and we're really happy with it it's not a big kettle I actually thought/wish it would be a little bigger, but on the upside it boils water super, super fast it's a great thing especially in morning rush :-) I would definitely recommend buying this kettle!

Honest reviews on Capresso H2O Plus Water Kettle, Matte Silver, 48-Ounce

I really like this kettle. It heats water very quickly and shuts itself off if the water is too low or is boiling. The only thing I don't like is the silver matte finish. When I ordered it I thought the top was a brushed metal and its not. Its plastic made to look like satin nickel finish but really doesn't in person. The glass carafe does look great sitting on the counter and compliments my contemporary kitchen. Its also offered in the shiny finish which looks much better in person, but is still only plastic.

Fortunately I had the opportunity to see this product in use at the home of a relative, which is how I learned about it. Initially I did hesitate purchasing in the kettle based mostly on criticism seen here regarding the claim of the kettle affecting the smell and taste of the water. However there was not even an initial incident of odor or altered taste to the water. If there ever was something wrong with the design, clearly it has been fixed. So don't let the naysayers dissuade you.

After purchase, the kettle actually exceeded my expectations, water boils very quickly and the design is sleek and attractive. I love the fact that the kettle is clear and provides a clear visual in terms of cleaning.

Lastly, the fact it has auto-shutoff as a safety feature is wonderful. As someone who has ruined several conventional stovetop kettles (whistle not working correctly or offering poor tone) I could not be happier. In fact, I plan to order another.
