I have been searching for a replacement cordless kettle for our Capresso H2O Plus 48 oz "glass" kettle. As other have reported the plastic lid on the Capresso fell apart precisely at the end of the one-year warranty. Two screws hold the lid to the glass and they are exposed to the hot steam whenever the unit is on. This is a poor design. Moreover, the metal heating element in the bottom of the kettle began to rust after a few months and it was a continuous effort to remove that weekly. Finally, I never did completely get rid of the annoying plastic smell/taste that others have also complained about.
After my so-so experience with the Capresso, I knew what I did NOT want. I seriously considered the Zojirushi CV-DYC40. However, I declined on that for two reasons. First, the Zoji has a huge footprint. It eats up a 9x12 area on your countertop, and it's ~14" tall. Second, it is a dispenser with a spigot. We use a kettle primarily to pour water over coffee in a Chemex or Melitta filter unit. To use the Zoji, you would have to dispense into a pitcher device first and then pour onto the ground coffee, unless you have a step counter where you can keep the Zoji at the higher level. Not very convenient in our home.
So, I looked and looked on Amazon, and one day the DeLonghi DSJM350 popped up. It was advertised as being able to heat to two different temps, and having a 58 oz capacity (as opposed to the Capresso's marginal 48oz). It sounded good, so we gave it a go.
This is one impressive unit! Construction quality is superb. The pot is stainless steel encasing a laboratory grade polymer vessel. The footprint of this unit is modest for a 57 ounce capacity. It takes up only 6x9 on the countertop. The ON/OFF is an UP/DOWN toggle. When you toggle down, the unit heats the water to the boil. When you toggle up, the unit heats the water to ~175 degrees, the correct temperature for green teas, etc. It heats very fast at 1,500W, less than 6-7 min for a full pot. Remarkably, there is absolutely NO PLASTIC ODOR in this unit, either when it is dry or when the water is boiling vigorously. This is amazing.
Now for the doo-dads. When you set the kettle on its base, it emits a chime tone. As the water heats, there is an internal light in the unit that changes progressively from blue to red at the boil (look at "other images" on the Amazon description). The unit shuts itself off when reaches the boil or when you remove the kettle from its base (unlike the Capresso).
By their very nature, electric water kettles are abused from the get-go. The repeated heating, steam, etc. do a number on the components. This DeLonghi seems to be up to the task, and for now, I would have to say this is the best cordless electric water kettle of this type that we have used. Bravo, DeLonghi.
