I was a little concerned about purchasing this Proctor Silex electric water kettle as it was so inexpensive. However, I decided to give it a try. I purchased this tea pot to replace my much more expensive Hamilton Beach cordless electric tea pot after the HB quit making a connection with its base after only 3 years of use (and therefore would not turn on), plus I've not liked the idea of heating my water in the HB pot which had rusted after only a year of use.
This little Proctor Silex is a nice little tea pot that does what it is supposed to do for cheap, cheap, cheap. Though smaller than the Hamilton Beach (and a lot lighter), it feels sturdy enough and is plenty big enough (you can actually fill it higher than the 1L mark if you wanted to, taking care not to get the water level too close to the pour spout).
I was worried I would not like a corded model having used the cordless Hamilton Beach, but the Proctor Silex's cord does not get in the way at all when pouring, and I like that it has a more secure connection through the cord connector than the Hamilton Beach's base connector (which failed after 3 years). I had no problems with any plastic smell after the first rinsing (which manufacturer recommends). No plastic taste either. Heats quickly. I did not feel I was waiting for it longer than the Hamilton Beach. A little noisy, but not as if you couldn't carry a conversation over the sound of it heating. I am very pleased overall and ecstatic that this little less than $10 tea pot is doing everything that the $25 (or more) Hamilton Beach did.

Great electric kettle for the price
So, this is an electric kettle with automatic shut-off once the water has boiled to prevent dry heating if you forget about it, all for $15 shipped to your door. You honestly cannot expect much. If you wanted a more thoughtfully designed kettle made of metal, you're not going to find it at this price point with this convenience.That being said, I love this kettle and have not noticed any off odors or plastic residue that other reviewers report. Maybe I was lucky? I did order it shipped through Amazon, so perhaps quality control is better. As other reviewers have stated, the cord is short, so unless your mug is right next to the kettle you will likely have to unplug the cable from the base of the kettle to pour every time. I don't find this especially inconvenient since the plug is large and easy to grab and remove. It's also fairly thick and seems rugged so I wouldn't worry about accidentally damaging it from constantly pulling on it unless you're yanking especially hard.Another reviewer posted a photo that their kettle arrived "broken" because the little plastic filter that goes on the spout arrived inside the kettle. There are grooves in the spout to insert and hold this filter piece into place, it likely just fell out during shipping or is shipped this way (see photo). Nothing is physically wrong with your kettle if it arrives with the filter piece inside, just push it into the grooves at the spout.Overall, I like this kettle. It only takes 5 minutes or so to boil 2 cups of water and is affordable. Yes, the full kettle will only fill up around 2 regular sized coffee mugs, but the product details clearly state the water capacity (1 Liter). You can measure water and pour it into your container before purchasing to decide if this will heat "enough" water for you.-1 star because it's hard to get the last bit of water out of the kettle, so I end up having to leave the top open for it to dry out after use
