Buen diseo
Compr esta hervidora de agua ya que las anteriores que he tenido al ser de cristal se han roto por accidente. Decid comprar esta jarra por su diseo y color que son muy bonitos y al no ser de cristal la jarra es ms resistente. El interior es de acero inoxidable y el agua nunca toca la parte de plstico , adems no esta caliente al tacto y evita quemaduras.
Me ha gustado que calienta muy rpido y tiene una capacidad de casi 2 lts. La recomiendo ampliamente.
I’m genuinely impressed with this Secura electric kettle. The product photos don’t do it justice — the actual build quality is noticeably richer and more substantial than the pictures. This is not cheap, flimsy plastic. The exterior has a solid, highquality finish, and the entire interior is real stainless steel, including the spout and lid underside.
The kettle feels sturdy in the hand, heats quickly, not noisy, and has a reassuring weight that reflects good construction. It’s clear that Secura put real thought into durability and materials rather than cutting corners. Much better than expected. We got the Orange color.
This works great for heating medium to large amounts of water. I use it to make tea and it’s super easy to use. The plug may draw a lot of power because one of my GFCI outlets in my kitchen tripped while it was plugged in so I’m using it on a non GFCI outlet and it’s working great. I would recommend it for anyone who makes tea or heats larger volumes of water. Basically the midline fill is hit when I empty my Brita pitcher into it from full. Simple easy and fast and wasn’t too expensive I’m happy. No special dials or controls though for water temperature which would have been nice but a helpful tip for making green tea which is better not being out directly into boiling temp water just fill a mug and let it sit for 3 minutes at room temp to cool down a bit and then toss in the tea bag.
Update: I love this thing so much that I wanted to provide an update. I use this at least twice a day, and more if I want boiling water for any cooking use at all. If I want to make pasta, boil potatoes, whatever, I put my kettle on and it is so much faster than waiting for a pot to boil, but I also put a little water in the pan on the stove and get it boiling, too, so that when I pour in my kettle’s worth of hot water, I’m well ahead of the process. I’ve also had no problem with “rusting” or staining at all, my cord isn’t heating up, and my only regret with this kettle is that I didn’t get one sooner.
Also, re the raisin color: it’s still ugly, but I have found amusement in coming up with descriptions of the color, and the laughing offsets the ugly factor. There’s always a silver lining.
So, I got the Dark Purple because I was being cheap. It’s my own choice, and I did not rate the color. This isn’t dark purple. it’s “raisin”, and that means a weird browny/purple thing, and not my fav. But it was $10 less, and it’s not horrid, and I didn’t love the other “bright” colors either, and “midnight black” was as much of a risk as “dark purple”. I use this as a preface to my review because, if you care about the color that much and raisin isn’t your favorite shade, try another color. But that said…
OMG! I already love this thing! it’s easy to fill, it is SOOOOOOOO much faster than stovetop kettle (I had Le Creuset Zen model), and the stainless is so easy. I did a couple of test runs, and it is 2.5 minutes faster than stovetop for 2 cups of water (stovetop set at high). I also made soft-boiled eggs with the extra water. I put my room temp eggs in a pan, poured the boiling water over, and let sit for 8 minutes, no additional heat, and I got soft-boiled just the way I like them. I know 2.5 minutes savings’ per day isn’t going to save the world, but in a month,that’s 75 minutes energy savings, and in a year, that’s 900 minutes energy savings. Plus, I don’t have to heat extra water for a soft-boiled egg.
I’d highly recommend this kettle. I just have found no negatives (other than the not awesome raisin color, but that was my own choice, and some people may actually like the color).
Also, I keep reading about rusting… stainless steel is called stainless because it’s the least corrosive of all the metals, and with cookware and utensils it’s great because it just doesn’t normally rust. The inside of this kettle is 18/10 (that’s the ratio of chromium to nickel and it’s better than 18/8. Water can leave stains if there’s a high rust content in your area. Also, hard water leaves its own kind of gunk. White vinegar rinse will help, and I always leave the top up and I don’t leave water standing in mine because I hate the idea of stale water. So hope that helps anyone concerned about rust.
Todo lo que me lo esperaba
Compr esto para reemplazar un hervidor de agua elctrico similar que dej de funcionar despus de solo varios meses de uso diario.
Este es ms fcil de limpiar, y espero que dure mucho ms. Est bien hecho y funciona bien. Caliento agua para preparar t todas las maanas.
Sem plstico em contato com a gua.
Excelente, diferentemente das nacionais que tem plstico em contato com a gua ou com o vapor quente contaminando a gua, essa 100% inox inclusive a tampa, nada de plstico em contato com a gua.
Last summer I stayed with a friend in Chicago on vacation. Like me, he drinks tea except he used an electric kettle to heat up water. At my home, I was using a standard stainless steel pot on a fire stove to heat water up. However, at times I was so consumed with being on the computer or working on a project or what-have-you that I’d forget the pot was on the stove and te water boils out and burns the pot.
After seeing my friend with his (smaller) electric kettle, I decide that once I got back home that I’d look into an electric kettle for myself. That’s where this Secura SWK-1701DB (black) electric kettle comes in. As I write this review, I’ve had this kettle for exactly 6 months now. I believe in sitting with a product or service for several weeks or months of use before writing a review. Things can be honky-dory at first, but over time that can change.
So, I chose this kettle because it holds a big amount 1.8 quarts (57.6 ounces) of water for those occasional times where I may have company over at the house to serve people. Otherwise, I use this kettle almost everyday to heat up 2 cups (16 ounces) of water for a big cup of tea. When I first tested this kettle at full capacity (3 times), it took 6 minutes every single time at full capacity to heat the water up to a boil. However, given that I only heat up 2 cups of cool water almost everyday, it takes only 3 minutes to heat the water to a boil and it shuts off like normal.
I no longer have to worry about the fireburner on the stove and the water possibly boiling out of the pot if I get distracted. That is a HUGE BIG PLUS of using this kettle! Also, I am able to plug in and use the kettle in my room instead of being in the kitchen, too. So, when the water is ready I always hear the water come to a boil and then a “click” sound when it shuts off and the water is ready (212 degrees fahrenheit). The clear switch has an embedded orange LED light which comes on when you press it to turn the kettle on and the light turns off when the water comes to a boil and is ready.
This kettle is very safe and boils water perfectly every time. It does have a safety feature of shutting down if you overfill the kettle with water beyond the safety line that is visibly scored into the stainless steel interior of the kettle.
After 6 months of continuous and almost daily use, this kettle is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Es buena
Ya tengo usndola todos los das, tres o cuatro veces al da y funciona realmente bien. En cuestin de 3 min el agua est hirviendo. Este es el color real del color prpura, yo la ped en ese tono solo por el precio. Fuera del color que no es mi favorito y por ahorrarme unos cientos de pesos, recomiendo la tetera!
Love the kettle and the customer service is amazing
I was looking for a kettle that had no plastic inside and when I found this one in dark purple (my favourite colour) I knew I didn’t need to look further. I ordered it and it came in a day. The inside is all metal as described and the plastic purple on the outside is both beautiful and keeps the outside of the kettle from getting too hot and accidentally burning yourself.
I filled the kettle but when it reached a boil, it didn’t shut off and kept shaking for a minute. I wasn’t sure if it was defective or not and whether I should return it or exchange it so I contacted the company. They responded within 2 hours and informed me that my kettle was defective and offered multiple return options. Their customer service was top notch and had a resolution in less than a day. I did my exchange and now have my new kettle that works perfectly and makes very little noise. I’m so happy with it but I’m even happier knowing that if anything goes wrong the manufacturer will be helpful and timely in their responses.
I spent nearly two months trying to find a kettle that didn’t have _any_ plastic inside in contact with the water. I read many dozens of online reviews and forums, and nothing quite made the cut. I wanted a glass or ceramic interior, because they’re inert and won’t flavor or contaminate the water, but that proved impossible; I decided stainless steel was a good alternative. (I’d been using a Le Creuset for the past 10 years but can no longer remove the scale from the inside and needed a replacement.) This kettle works beautifully and it’s completely nontoxic, as the water contacts nothing but stainless inside.
Note that some people have worried about a small circular hole at the top beneath the lid — this is there so that the lid can close. When you’re boiling water, that hole is completely blocked by the thickness of the lid as it closes; the interior of the lid is the same stainless steel as the rest of the interior. There is thus NO plastic that can be contacted by water or steam in this kettle. (See photos. The first shows the hole just beneath the rim, and the second shows that the thickness of the metal in the lid will completely block that hole.)
I’ve been using the kettle multiple times per day and it works simply and beautifully. It boils water quickly, and it shuts off by itself once it’s reached the boil. For those of you considering a kettle with temperature settings: (1) testing of such kettles indicates that most of them are off the desired temperature by as much as 10 degrees, defeating the purpose of setting it at different temps for different teas; and (2) I have a ThermoPop thermometer (not available through amazon, alas) and another less fancy one, and both of them indicate that once you pour the water out of the kettle, the temperature drops really quickly. If I pour into an open cup, the temp falls to ~180-185 degrees as soon as I’ve stopped pouring; the temp remains a bit higher in a closed teapot (and will differ depending on whether the teapot is glass, ceramic, or metal). So I’m not sure that even an accurate temp gauge on a kettle would be that useful.
