I ordered this kettle specifically to avoid heating up water in plastic. However, this kettle emitted a foul chemical odor that also transferred to the water. I boiled it a few times plus tried the water/vinegar suggestion in the brochure but nothing seemed to help. I decided that I didn't want to take the risk of drinking these unknown chemicals so I'm returning it it's not worth the risk. I can't figure out if it's coming from the "stainless steel" bulb (that feels like plastic to me if you tap on it) that covers the heating element or the plastic seal between the glass & the bulb. Plus the lid has a stong odor too & that is plastic covered in "stainless steel".

My biggest rave is the Amazon.com customer service. I fell in love with the look of this kettle and found the best price on Amazon.com (with free shipping!) When it arrived, it only worked if the kettle was oriented one way on the base -when it boiled, the water dribbled on the cord. Called Capresso Cust Svc -1st person said, it's supposed to do that. After another week, it got worse. Capresso would replace it if I paid it's shipping back to them. Called Amazon.com, got another in the mail days later, post-paid shipping back the first one to them. Wow! This kettle works just fine. Very rapid boiling of water, no complaints about anything. To keep the glass and that silver dome shiny, you do need to do the vinegar thing every now and again. Couldn't be happier.

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.

Honest reviews on Capresso 259 H2O Plus Glass Water Kettle, Polished Chrome

I had mine for about 8 months and then the handle fell off while I was pouring a full kettle of boiling water into a teapot. I was lucky not to be badly burned. The handle is held to the lid with two small screws that are screwed into plastic. It looks cool, and maybe mine was somehow defective, but watch out (especially if you have small kids who might be in the way of the boiling flood).

Have had this for a month now and it works great. Heats fast, the level lines are nice ( not hard to see for me ), no dripping problems. But the silcone gasket around the heating element is still imparting a bit of an off taste and releases a plasticky smell. It's gotten a bit better but I still don't like it. The 'chrome' appears to be chromed plastic, didn't see that mentioned in description or reviews.

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $59.99

This urn is supremely functional, with no bells and whistles. It advertises brewing times of 45 seconds per cup, but I've found that it's closer to the minute per cup advertised by other models: you'll buy back very little setup time with this model (heating 2 gallons of water took 35 minutes for example). Plus, like all other coffee urns, this one sings its moany little song while brewing, so if there's a chance it might be a distraction, you'll need to plug it in ahead of time so it's done brewing by the time the main event occurs, or you'll need to brew in another room and move it to the buffet table once it's hot. The one-handed dispensing works fine if the cup being dispensed into is solid, like a coffee mug, but common sense is confirmed that paper cups are not sturdy enough to depress the button without collapsing. In order to dispense one-handed with a paper cup, you have to push the button with your knuckles, which puts your fingers in the path of potentially hot liquids. Finally, and this is something that there's no way to know before reading the owner's manual, there's a little strainer right above where the liquid comes out. The owner's manual warns not to tip the urn while dispensing in order to prevent clogging of this strainer with coffee grounds. That's all well and good, except that due to the placement of the dispensing nozzle, the coffee becomes inaccessible when the level goes below about 10 cups--that's 1/4 of the total brew for a full pot!! It's this waste factor that resulted in the 4 stars instead of 5. For its price, it's a tidy little machine--the nozzle is particularly good at preventing drips. However, I'd rather clean up dribble from a lower-placed nozzle than have to find a way to decant 10 cups of coffee.

I just made delicious coffee for a crowd with this. I have never made percolator coffee. I think I put in too much coffee but it came out very well. I got a 13 oz can of some sort of smooth & mellow decaf coffee from Trader Joe's and I got it very coarse ground. I used the whole can for a full urn of water (up to the 40 mark). I read that you use 1 pound for 2 gallons of water as a catering standard. The urn is about 80% of 2 gallons, so 13 oz seemed right. It was more than the directions for the urn, but I decided to wing it. I'm really glad that I did! It was excellent, even a couple of hours later. The keep warm setting is great and the coffee is nice and hot and NOT overdone. I would recommend that you get a light-medium roasted coffee and grind it coarsely in the store.

My husband asked me to save the rest, which he never does when I get the Peet's catered coffee, so it is sitting in the fridge ready to make iced coffee!

Best Deals for Hamilton Beach 40540 Brew Station 40-Cup Coffee Urn, Silver

We purchased this unit from Bed Bath & Beyond as a replacement to the Hamilton Beach 40515 (HB) coffee urn (which was better in our opinion).

This unit looks pretty, and it holds >40 cups of water just as the HB did, but instead of being tall and slim, it is a short and fat unit.

The cup dispenser uses a pressure-release mechanism rather than a lift valve which at first glance seemed better because we can just put pressure on it with the coffee cup in hand rather than lifting a latch, but we were mistaken. The unit's pressure dispenser is placed at an angle, so it only dispenses full force when the bottom of the dispenser is pressed; when placing the coffee against the top of the unit, nothing comes out.

The problem with this is that the unit is so short, nothing larger than the small coffee cups will fit under the unit to allow it to dispense. This is a problem since most of our coffee cups are not the small ones. If you can fit the coffee cup under the dispenser to get it to dispense, you also have to be careful because unlike the spout-type dispensers, if you're not careful and there is not a sufficient amount of water in the unit, you'll knock it over and burn everyone around you including yourself when you reach to touch the burning hot unit with your bare hands to prevent it from falling and spilling.

Other than that, there is no way to see how much water is left in the unit, and the first day after using it with guests, it ran out of water and burned the bottom. Were there an indicator, we would have seen that we were running low on water and the bottom wouldn't have burned, possibly damaging the unit. Other units have either an indicator where you can see the water level, and others even have an automatic shut-off when the water level gets low and this unit has none of these features.

Honest reviews on Hamilton Beach 40540 Brew Station 40-Cup Coffee Urn, Silver

We sell organic coffee at the local farmer's market on Saturday morning, so I bought two of these so I would not have to brew continuously with my small coffee makers. They started out great, I agree with the other reviewers that the finish on this could be better and it does get scratched up and discolored. I also agree that the dispenser is not that great and causes many people to struggle to get their cup of coffee. The pots do heat up quickly, and it does take about a minute per cup for the pot to brew which is not as quick as Hamilton Beach boasts, but it makes a decent cup of coffee.

My main complaint is that after about 8 uses, one of my pots suddenly stopped perking. It would keep the coffee warm, but it would not perk (make) the coffee. I called Hamilton Beach and they replaced the pot (and charged me $7.95 to ship it back to me!) and I thought GREAT! Back to two pots we're in business again! Not for long because I swear (NO JOKE!) the Saturday after my new pot arrived back from Hamilton Beach, the OTHER coffee urn went out! I am back down to working with one coffee pot and quite frankly due to my past experiences I have NO idea when this new pot will decide to give out! I have decided that I am going to replace the pots with a different brand because I depend on those pots working, and these are anything but dependable.

Functions well, heats quickly, but I don't care for the aluminum, the inside discolors. Stainless steel would be better but would jack up the price substantially. I only bought it for holidays so its fine, but if I were going to use it more frequently, I'd opt for a better quality stainless.

Having grown up in Singapore many years ago, I was quite familiar with items like this and National brand rice cookers. My mother had one of these 20 years ago until it gave out a few years back. I purchased this item for my husband for Christmas. He couldn't wait to open it and so we've been using it for the past couple of weeks. I wish I'd bought it sooner. My husband was given a Cuisinart stainless steel Grind & Brew several years ago. Fabulous machine. However, a couple of years ago my husband found that despite his being the only coffee drinker (at the time) in the house, that it was 100% MY responsibility to keep the machine clean and ready for morning brewing. I got tired of this and last year he "discovered" the pleasure of Nescafe Classico instant coffee.

Lazy to boil water in the pot, he'd microwave his cups of water, never bothering to boil me a cup. I've been searching for months for a nice airpot and found this. Unfortunately, I didn't go online in my search and bought one at my favorite Chinese supermarket in Dallas. I paid over $75 when I could have found one online for close to $30 less. However, I have to say that I'm 100% satisfied with this product. It's incredibly convenient. Great for coffee, tea, hot chocolate & malt drinks, not to mention ramen noodles & other instant food items or frozen veggies that require de-frosting. Why didn't I get this sooner????? So easy to use. The only wish I had is that it came in a larger capacity. I love it so much that I use it all the time and have to keep filling it up!

Well worth the money paid. Extremely convenient. Easy to use. Looks great.

Review of The Sharper Image Select-A-Temp 1.7L Stainless Steel Cordless

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $99.99
Sale Price: $56.99
Today's Bonus: 43% Off

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I've had a Breville BKE820XL Variable-Temperature Kettle for over a year now. Its brilliant design has made it my favorite appliance, a pleasure to use every time I make a cup of tea. So when I got the chance to try out the Sharper Image Select-A-Temp, I thought I'd take the opportunity to compare the two. Here's a breakdown:

Interface: With the Breville, you hit one of five temperature buttons (from Green Tea up to Boiling), then hit start. The button lights up, and you can tell even from across the room what state the kettle is in--is it heating up? Has it finished? If so, is the water still hot enough? It also provides audible feedback, beeps that are loud enough to hear from the next room but not so loud as to be irritating. The Sharper Image uses a small digital display on the handle. A blinking icon tells you that the kettle is boiling. There is no audible feedback beyond the water itself. There's no indication of what the current temperature of the water is.

Features: Both have a "hold temp" feature for when you want to keep the water at the temperature you heated it to, though the Breville's way of doing this is much more intuitive. The Sharper Image also offers an "overboil" feature that makes it keep going for a few minutes after hitting 212°, and you can heat water at any 10-degree interval from 110° up to 212° (the Breville's minimum is 175° for green tea). The lower temperatures might be useful for, say, making hot cocoa for small children.

Details: The Breville has a large lid that opens fully and smoothly at the press of a button located within thumb's reach of the handle, making refilling a breeze. The Sharper Image has a smaller lid with a release button on it, which feels clumsy; worse, it opens at an angle, so refilling the kettle in a sink requires you to keep the kettle tilted.

Looks: Comparable. Both fit well in a modern kitchen, with their abundance of stainless steel. Both have roughly the same footprint. The only cheap-looking part of the Sharper Image kettle is the oversized handle with its awkward buttons.

Performance: Comparable. In my stopwatch test, both took about 4:45 to boil 1L of water.

Warranty: Comparable. Both come with 1 year of coverage.

Price: The one area where the Sharper Image kettle has an advantage, at half the price of the Breville. You get what you pay for.

In short, what we have here are two kettles which both do the same thing (heat water to various temperatures, quickly); but while one is a paragon is appliance design, the other feels clunky and dated. One takes two easy button presses to heat water to the desired temperature; the other can take several. One provides pleasant audible and visual feedback when it's done; the other just stops. Yes, the Breville is more expensive, but if you plan on using it every day, then it's worth every penny.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a high-quality kettle. At 1500 watts it isn't under-powered like too many other kettles out there which means you get so save money because it will heat your water faster. Furthermore, because you can control the temperature of the water (you can set it to boil from anywhere between 110 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit) you can further save money on your electricity bills and/or ensure that the water is boiled just right for the kind of tea you're making. Add to that the fact that the kettle rotates on the power base, that its top opens up, making it easier to clean than many of its competitors makes this a very practical kettle.

My quibbles then don't have to do with the practicality but with its aesthetics. The handle is a bit chunky. Maybe it's that I have small hands but I find it a bit awkward to pick it up when it's full. Also, it doesn't keep water hot for as long as some of its competitors. (Unless of course you use the Warm Keeping Mode but that rather defeats the energy saving point.) The digital display also makes it somewhat hard to see when the kettle is on.

All in all, I would say this is a great kettle for someone who is very practical or very particular about their tea. Obviously it would be ideal for someone who is both! It may not be the right kettle for someone who prizes elegance above all in her kitchen though.

Personally, I quite like it and recommend it.

Best Deals for The Sharper Image Select-A-Temp 1.7L Stainless Steel Cordless

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I compared this kettle by lining it up with our household's two other electric kettles: my unbreakable workhorse Braun and the amusingly-psychedelic Saeco.

First the speed test: I measured 32 oz of cold tapwater into each. I ran them consecutively using the same electrical outlet: Braun 4:58; Sharper Image 5:30, Saeco 5:00. For serial tea-making (us Brits have to work harder at assembling our daily caffeine dose), the Saeco is my favourite because it will keep water warm for two hours, compared to 30 min for the Sharper Image. Is that environmentally bad? Not if it's heating season, when any source of heat inside the house is about as green as any other except for wood or solar.

[Note: For longevity of the unit, I recommend always boiling slightly more water than you need. If you completely empty an only-just-boiled kettle, the heating element, though turned off, will continue to heat the kettle well past boiling, and perhaps past the design limits of the various plastics.]

The temperature-holding function works well, holding temperature close to desired. The Saeco temperature-holding function is simpler to use, but the Sharper Image is more fine-grained, offering 10F increments.

All three are difficult to fill because the lids don't open far enough, for no obvious reason at all. The Sharper Image loses a star because it has no indicator light and is purely right-handed, with the fill window only on the left side. That is annoying even if you are right-handed.

It loses another star for now because the fit and finish are slightly shoddy, with visible manufacturing gouges and irregularities, and the injection-moulded plastic looks like something from the pre-CAD 1970s, with a marred surface showing visible weld lines, cavities, and flash-marks (Sharper Image! Google 'finite-element-analysis software'). It may lose another star over time because the poor finish doesn't speak well to long-term reliability.

For now, though, it's just my least favourite of the three.

Honest reviews on The Sharper Image Select-A-Temp 1.7L Stainless Steel Cordless

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I lived in England for a while in the late 90s, and of course England is known for their tea drinkers. I had never used or even seen an electric kettle before, and had only used the old fashioned type you fill with water and put on a stove eye to use. In England, I was told that while most homes owned a television, EVERY home owned a kettle. So I bought one. And it boiled the water in 30 seconds. When I moved back to America, I had to search hard to find an electric kettle. Even Amazon only had one to offer, which I bought, but it couldn't begin to compare to the kettle I used in England. Of course kettles in America take much longer to boil due to the voltage differences, but otherwise the features are just as good.

Since then, electric kettles have become much more popular here and there are many sizes and types available. I've tried many and have been left disappointed, but finally found the Adagio UtiliTEA kettle with variable temperature, which I'll use to compare the Sharper Image kettle. Temperature control is important to me because green tea and black tea or coffee require different temperatures for optimum flavor. I've used and loved this kettle for a few years.

Now I've tried the Sharper Image kettle and I'm impressed! It's larger than my Adagio and offers multiple functions. My Adagio holds 30oz of water, while the Sharper Image kettle holds 57oz. Selecting the correct temperature is easy with the arrow buttons. You can push the Function button and choose to keep the water warm, which is helpful and not an option with the Adagio kettle.

I filled both kettles with 3 cups of very cold water and turned them on at the same time, with temps set to 212 degrees. Both came to a boil in almost the same time, with the Adagio reaching boiling point about 15 seconds sooner.

I only have two complaints. I wish there was a red indicator light to let me know it's doing what it should do. The digital indicator isn't lit and can be hard to see without the right lighting. I might not always want to turn the lights on in the wee hours of the morning. I also wish the kettle were entirely stainless steel instead of including some plastic interior parts. Since the manual does not state that the plastic is free of BPA, then it's safe to assume otherwise. I have the same complaint about the Adagio kettle.

I'm happy with the features and performance of this kettle and can definitely recommend it.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I'm an obsessive tea drinker, so an electric kettle is sort of an essential gadget for meit's my version of a coffee maker.

I've had the Adagio Teas 3 UtiliTEA Variable-Temperature 30-Ounce Electric Kettle for a few years now and it's done nicely, although it doesn't hold a ton of water and the temperatures can vary.

The Sharper Image one is slickit's got a nice profile, boils water very quickly, and the "programmable" features are nice. But what wins it for me is the fact it keeps the water at temperature for about half an hourI often have two cups of tea in the morning and two in the afternoon and it's so lovely to be able to go into the kitchen and immediately get another cup of tea steeping right after I finish the first without waiting for water to boil again. It's also great for cookingsometimes when we're making risotto or rice or whatever, we boil some water in the kettle just in case we need a little extra for the cooking pot. The fact it keep the water HOT means we can just pour it in when we need it. Makes life so much easier that way.

Now if only someone would make a tea mug (not a warmer...) that keeps the tea piping hot for half an hour....

The wall furnace looked fine when unpacked, but during the installation process I found the combustion chamber had twisted away from the somewhat flimsy brackets on the secondary bracket that mounts on the wall bracket. I am guessing the unit was dropped on a corner during shipping and the chamber assembly twisted free, breaking the rivets that held it and twisting 2 of the 4 brackets. I could have returned it, I'm sure, for a replacement, but a careful examination showed no other damage. We bent the brackets back and securely riveted them. The gas inlet filter also fell out when the dust plug was removed. This was tricky to get back into position properly, so the unit needed to have a brass fitting installed while the unit was upside down. Then the gas line was attached when the unit was back on the wall.

The cut-out template was accurate. I did a drill through the wall and cut the outside vent hole just slightly down from the inside vent hole to allow the required 3% drop for water drainage. Cutting the vent pipe and rod as specified in the directions resulted in a perfect through-the-wall installation of the vent assembly. The vent assembly covers make for an attractive installation outside. Once in place and running, the heater performed very well, easily heating a 1000 sq. ft. apartment. The outside temperatures are about 35 40deg F, so this is not a severe weather environment. The sealed chamber combustion using outside air which is vented back out through a central exhaust vent means there is no chance of sucking air out of the room or exhausting combustion byproducts into the room unless you install the vent assembly below or right next to a window or other opening into the structure. Follow the guidelines and you have a safe installation. That is, assuming the combustion chamber does not leak. I have no way of determining if that will happen over time, but there were no apparent combustion products of any kind coming from the wall furnace when newly installed. Even the normal new-heater burn-off odor was very low.

I could not give this a 5 star rating because of the flimsy internal mounting bracket issue. The unit cover is also made of materials that appear to be thinner than the painted sheet metal covers one usually encounters on furnace cover assemblies. However, for the price, this wall furnace appears to do an excellent job of heating, and the installed furnace is actually pretty attractive.

I ordered this from the dent-n-scratch warehouse, and it was described as dented. It has a rugged exterior casing, and a really heavy and solid inside mechanism. But the connection between them is 4 flimsy bent sheetmetal brackets with rivets. I suspect that any force great enough to dent the outside, is great enough to twist the brackets and rip out the rivets--which is exactly how I received it.

I decided to hammer out the dents and rivet things back together. But unless you are willing to do that, don't buy this unit online--buy it from a local distributor. The factory packaging IS NOT ADEQUATE for UPS shipping. It is packaged for delivery to a retail store strapped onto a pallet. I see no way that this unit could survive shipping in the factory packaging, unless it is crated.

I bought this heater based on the features and a good CR review as there were a limited # of reviews on Amazon. One thing I liked about this heater is it puts out heat at approx. 24" off of the floor. I use it in my home office and my two previous Holmes ceramic heaters were very low and would direct the heat into my computer air intake which wasn't very good for me or my computer. Although I really didn't think I needed a remote to change the heat settings, I find it very useful to control the oscillation or temp setting. You can change all settings manually on the front panel if you loose your remote. It seems to throw out much more heat than any of my previous 1500W heaters and easily heats my 16 x 16 ft room in short order. The LED display is well lit and the construction is fairly impressive and sturdy. The fan seems to have much more CFM than your average space heater, but without any real dicernable noise especially when on the phone etc. About the only thing I can complain about is that in the Automatic temperature control mode the unit will only run in the high 1500W mode. If you use the Auto thermostatically controlled feature and it's relatively close to you, it will get a little too warm which is easily resolved by turning the temperature down or putting it in the manual mode on low. I think for this heater to keep you warm, it doesn't really need to be within 5ft as you can place it anywhere in most rooms in the auto mode to keep the whole room temperature constant. For the cost, I don't see how anyone could complain about this heater, but I'm sure someone will! I just ordered a second one for my family room which is much larger, but I feel it will handle it with ease. I would have ordered two as I am giving one to my Mother for Christmas, but they restocked and sold out all but one in 24 hours! I'm sure that a lot more people will say good things about this heater. BTW I checked the kW per hour usage with a meter, on the high setting and it uses around 1.36 kWh or around 15 cents/hr at average electric rates, but it is very unlikely that you would need to run this heater constantly on high unless you were heating a very large room. I would assume that it would be about half that on the low setting (750W).

I put this heater in use at the beginning of December, 2012 and kept track of the power usage with a Kill-A-Watt meter for that month. I ran it for about 8 hours every night set at 65 degrees to keep the master bedroom warm while the whole-house thermostat was set at 60 degrees. For the month of December the heater used 112.39 kwh which at my electrical rate in Michigan cost $7.83 or 25.2 cents per day. I consider this to be very good. The house is well insulated with outside storm windows on the bedroom. The bedroom is 14x17 ft with an 8 ft ceiling that slopes up to 14 ft.

The only downside that kept it from getting five stars is that it is a bit noisy.

Great product! Immediately turns out a lot of heat but the heater itself stays cool to the touch. Love the setting to have the heater automatically monitor the room temp and switch on and off in order to maintain the desired temperature. The only thing I do not like about the heater is that after being turned off, when you turn it back on it goes straight to the heater setting instead of "remembering" that we had been using the automatic temperature monitoring setting.

This is a sturdy and very responsive heater. The instructions are clear and it puts a lot of heat out. It is light enough to move around easily but solid and not at all wobbly. I would recommend it to anyone needing a boost in a too cold room.

Heater works well. The remote is very handy when your sitting down and need to tweak the temp.Well made product. The only reason I didn't give it 5 star is it should have some kind of handle to move it around,since its supposed to be portable.
