Cuisinart CPK-17C Programmable Kettle $79.99

I got this for my wife for Christmas, awesome kettle. I think I was able to get it for $67.99, still great price at $70

Great for home (boil once or twice a day) but does not survive the office (>10 boils / day).

Pricey for a kettle that only boils water. Granted, it is programmable but...

Not trying to defend I had sunbeam plastic kettle but taste of water in this and sunbeam is day and night. Thx

Fyi, a refurb one is only $49.99 @ KSP's Warehouse Sale

Also got this from Amazon during the holidays and it does does a better job at boiling water than my old sunbeam.

Forgive my ignorance (honestly) but how can one kettle do a better job boiling water than another? Quicker?

Bought it in November. Certain teas taste better at specific temps so the one touch buttons are really convenient. Auto warm feature is also a plus.

What makes this better than a stove top kettle?

this is hardcore :0

If I am going to get it for $50.00 plus taxes - do you think is going to be a good price?

The costco kettle is a similar type of kettle from this English company (Russell Hobbs). 3 year warranty from Costco, and I believe regular price is around $40-$50, and sometimes goes on sale for $35 I believe.

So for the warranty alone (i.e. being able to return it to Costco with no questions asked) is well worth the price. I bought one, it started leaking after the second year but was able to exchange it for the newer model no problem last year.

It heats up fast and well, and you can set the temperature of the boil (in 5 degree increments).

OK. I have bought it brand new for $50 before taxes a few minutes ago. No Costco membership needed and free delivery included. Please don't ask me how.

Electric kettles heat up a lot faster, even if you don't care about the programmable features.

I am hijacking this thread: be aware, read the poor reviews of the product on: http://www.cuisinart.ca/cuisinart_produ ... &cat_id=13

my office has this kettle. didn't know it was so expensive... it's kind of annoying, because nobody knows how to turn if off to stop it from beeping after its done. we just unplug it

i like the french press setting for making coffees

You have to press the "Keep Warm" button if it is lit to prevent it from re-heating / beeping again. It is "on" by default when you plug in the kettle.
