Aroma AWK-115S 1-1/2-Liter Hot H20 X-PressWater Kettle Review
If you want a super hot kettle, this may be the one for you. I bought it to take to work, and it’s both extremely loud (compared to my cheapo plastic one) and VERY hot (even the exterior gets very got — too hot to touch). It’s a beautiful object, easy to hold, fun to pour, pretty inside, too. The water boils very quickly. I like it. But, as I said: very loud when it’s boiling (so loud I’m afraid I’ll disrupt my office-mates), and so hot that you’ll burn yourself if you touch anywhere but the plastic handle.

I bought this based on the reviews I read on this page and I couldn’t be happier! It works quickly and the automatic shut off is wonderful. The kettle does get hot so if you have small children or animals that could get to it you might want to look for another model but for me it’s absolutely perfect.

After having bought and returned the stylish but overpriced Breville (which did have a bad odor as other reviewers have noted), I have owned this for seven months now and give it a very high recommendation. It gets heavy daily use in our house and functions perfectly. Yes, it is a bit noisy like all electric kettles, and it is warm/hot to the touch as it contains boiling water. Some have complained that the sight tube is under the handle and hard to read, but it’s easy to get used to and it’s in a protected location. I like the fact that almost all of the material which the water contacts is stainless steel (the sight tube is plastic). If this one were to wear out, I would buy another.

I got this kettle to replace my 90-year-old dad’s dangerous Rival Hot Pot. So far, it’s been terrific. Heats water quick as a wink, has a convenient water level window, is a good size (not too small, not too big), the interior is stainless steel, and I love the design. Why not five stars? The opening is just a tad too small to be completely convenient for filling or cleaning. But that’s a minor concern. Overall, I’m so taken with it, I’m tempted to get one for myself! (Oh, yeah, Dad likes it, too!)
