Can anyone recommend me an electric kettle.

[blary54]

I'm looking for an electric Kettle. My roommate had a Breville one...just moved out and I found that its the thing i miss most from my kitchen. I drink alot of tea and make french press coffee.

I also don't really want to spend over $50.00. The one she had seemed nice but I dont know anything about that brand. Any suggestions and input much appreciated.

I have a Russell Hobbs stainless steel kettle which I like. I don't think they still make that particular model but here is the US web site:

I got one from my mom by Hamilton beach. Nothing fancy, but it does the job.

Target has a Hot Pot (The Name) for 10 bucks. Not a looker but works great.

I have a Proctor Silex with the auto off after it's been boiling for a bit. I think an electric kettle is one of those things I have never had an issue with. Just find one that you like the look of and is the right price for you.

Gotta recommend the Breville.

It is expensive. My wife wanted it and I said no way I'm gonna pay $150 to boil water! But, in the interest of domestic tranquility we got one and now I'm glad we did. I am surprised at how handy it is and how much use it gets. It is fast, too.

This is the none I have, based on a recommendation from Cook'sIllustrated : http://www.amazon.com/Capresso-259-03-Kettle-Polished-Chrome/dp/B000BY4ZHO

I have one of the new model "Bodum Ibis" hot pots and like it a lot. The old pots had an exposed heating element, the new ones have it covering the floor of the pot.
