Ranked #7 in Best Electric Kettles

Cuisinart PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle CPK-17

4.3

5 sources2 derived$139.95as of Aug 31

The Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp Variable Temperature Kettle is praised for its ease of use and practical features like the keep-warm function that remembers settings. Reviewers note it boils water quickly and is ideal for tea preparation with precise temperature control. However, the kettle is described as fragile and requires careful handling to avoid damage from improper use, particularly regarding the minimum water level requirement. The water level display is also noted as difficult to read due to its positioning under the handle.

Strengths

— Easy to use with only 2 buttons for temperature selection and start
— Keep warm feature holds temperature for 30 minutes and remembers settings
— Boils water quickly, especially when filled to 1 liter mark

Watch-outs

— Slightly fragile and requires respect for minimum water level of 500ml
— Water level display is tricky to view as it's under the handle and water is clear

How they stack up

All-Clad Stainless Steel Electric Kettle

The All-Clad Stainless Steel Electric Kettle features an intuitive touchscreen display and 9 temperature settings, a feature not found in the Fellow Clyde which lacks variable temperature control. However, unlike the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro that offers precise temperature control to a single degree Fahrenheit, the All-Clad's 9 settings are not as precise and lacks the scheduling feature of the Cosori.

Cuisinart PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle CPK-17

The Cuisinart PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle CPK-17 offers a keep-warm function that remembers settings, a feature not found in the Fellow Clyde which lacks variable temperature control. However, unlike the Oxo Variable Temperature Electric Kettle that provides a clear glass body and one-dial interface, the Cuisinart's design is more basic and lacks digital display functionality.
