 works well for me March 5, 2010

This is first electric kettle I have used. It comes in very handy for my whole family (I use it to make coffee with a melita filter. It is attractive and easy to clean and it shuts itself off. What's not to like?
So far so good! February 11, 2010

I've had this for about 6 weeks or so and it's worked great for me so far. Boils fast and the stainless is great (probably much better for the health than plastic, which is why I bought it.) Automatic off is a good feature and works well.
My only (minor) complaint is that the minimum line is often more than I need so I wind up emptying out some of the boiled water, which is kind of a waste. Still boils the minimum amount in just a couple minutes...sometimes faster than I'm ready for too.
Solid buy, especially for the price.

i like it a lot. no problems so far. had for 1 month. cool blue glow. it starts off by making a loud wooshing sound that we love. waters ready when it stops and the lever pops back up. fun to see the water droplets from under the clear lid. However, it is difficult to clean the inside because of protrusions, but i think its easier than most. Also, did doesn't come off for cleaning either. but all this said, i did a lot of looking and think this is a good choice.
One hot pot January 31, 2010

I recieved the Sanyo U-K170S and was surprisied as I thought I had ordered the white model. My first choice was the white plastic exterior because I felt it wouldn't be as hot to touch after boil. I was right, the stainless steel exterior is hot. That said, if you had taken the pot off the stove you wouldn't put your hand on it. An easy adaptation.
The appliance performs well, boils water quickly enough, has a large capacity, and handles fairly easily. The handle stays cool, and the top opens with a little pressure for filling. I did have an occasion to refill the pot right after use and the top didn't open as easily, but did open.
I've had the kettle for 3 months in daily use and have no complaints. I did quite a lot of research on Amazon looking at the variety of cordless electric kettles offered, and this had the most positive comments and the least important negatives. You would be hard pressed to find a kettle that works as well in this price range. Even some of the over $100 kettles had negative comments. The blue, light on indicator, inside the pot is psychedelic.
 Attractive and boils relatively quickly, but one problem for us. January 17, 2010

We loved the look of this kettle and liked the easy-to-read water gauge. Its power is 1500 Watts, which is higher than many comparable kettles.This is a big advantage, as it means that it comes to the boil more quickly. (It's well worth checking the power of kettles before buying them. Some are painfully slow!)
For us, though, there was, unfortunately, one problem. We use our kettle for all sorts of purposes, but mainly for making traditional British tea and we found that after a day or so, the tea tasted odd. My adult son was the first to point it out. I didn't want to believe it, as I loved the kettle. But in the end I was unable to deny it any longer. The tea definitely didn't taste right, even to me.
I did some searching online and found other comments about a "metallic" taste and suggestions for eliminating it. e.g. Boil up lemon juice in the water, and so on. I did try that and it did diminish the scale that had already started to build up. But for us, it still didn't solve the taste problem. I don't know whether the scale was what caused it. If so, the kettle might work well for those who live in soft water areas, or who use water filters. It might also be fine for you if you aren't a tea drinker, or fussy about the taste of your tea.
I hate to write anything negative in a review, but feel I owe it to fellow tea-drinkers to point out this problem! We have kept the kettle, because it's still useful and fast at boiling water for other purposes. But we no longer use it for tea-making. Sorry.
