Amazon Basics Stainless Steel Electric Kettle vs Fellow Stagg EKG

The Amazon Basics Stainless Steel 1.7L is a good option if you are not making specialty drinks and want a sleek-looking kettle that won't break the bank. This very affordable model has a large reservoir that can boil water at a decent rate. In addition, it pours reasonably smooth, given the disadvantages of pitcher-style spouts and handles

Pretty bummed bc it started strong but just not worth that kind of money if it needs to be replaced every year. Oh also, it pours soooooo slowly and always leaks.

I can remove it from its base and place the kettle on my hand without discomfort. However be careful of the sides and top. They are hot. I chose it because when it reaches boiling temperature, it shuts off

The same can’t be said of the base though. The base is very light and flimsy and the switches on the back that set Celsius vs. Fahrenheit temp display, and hold vs sleep functions, are really, really cheap. The dial where you set the water temperature and turn the kettle on and off is also very cheap feeling too—and will probably be the first thing to break on this kettle
