*** I am writing this review after 3 months of usage. *** Well if you stay in a hostel, a good electric kettle is a must have, especially if you are a night owl and spend half of the nights awake. You are bound to feel hungry. Fear not... this kettle will save you. You can make pretty much anything that needs short cooking... tea, coffee, Maggi, boiling eggs, warming milk (needs attention for milk). Since the price is low, its easily the best choice. My friend bought it from Flipkart about 3 months ago. We used it almost every day (actually night most of the time :P). I was very much satisfied with it so I got one for myself too. Pros: 1. Low Price for a metallic kettle. Metal is durable and is not stinky like plastic. 2. Concealed heating element, so many things (as stated above) can be made. 3. Uniform cylindrical shape so the opening is wider. 4. Cord is attached to the base and not the kettle, so practically it is cordless. 5. Very easy to clean due to points 2, 3 & 4. 6. 360 degree rotation is very convenient. 7. Others have reported auto shut off & dry boil protection although I never had to use it till now. I'll explain the cons in detail. Cons. 1. You have to be careful while making tea/coffee or boiling milk. If possible just warm the milk as it comes out very fast. Even when warming, the milk tends to stick to the base of the kettle. Do slight stirring to reduce this. At this point the kettle is easy to clean, but if you happen to completely boil the milk (or tea/coffee), it becomes difficult to clean. Then again, they have said that the kettle is for boiling water only. 2. There is a small gap near the filter area between the lid & the kettle even when lid is closed, so the tea is not well filtered if you immediately pour it into cups. Let the tea powder settle or get a separate filter (which I feel is a better option.) 3. The Cord could have been a bit longer. The present length forces you to keep the kettle at about 2 feet from electric points. In all a very fine product, which delivers more than what its cost would suggest. A must buy for hostellites. If you are buying in the same price range, don't waste time or money in buying any other kettle. As for the Flipkart's delivery, they are awesome. I got the kettle in just 3 days (including a non business day), while the estimated time shown is 6-8 business days.

First impression: The material(stainless steel)is good. The manufacturing tolerance is not good. In its defense the cost is low for the features(1L capacity, cordless, wattage) it provides. So, its a kind of reasonable/intelligent compromise. The other reason I went for this product is the large diameter and cylindrical construction. Good for cooking Maggi and boiling eggs. Hope I helped you. Happy researching. P.S: An advice: If it's heart Vs head, go with the head.

I bought this kettle before 20 days.. Its working fine... :) Thanks to flipkart.. good service.. Apart from using it for boiling water, I have used it for making maggi... :P and it works good. As I stay in hostel sometimes feel like not going to mess for eating food.. Once me and my friend thought of making maggi with the vegetables. so first we cooked vegetables and it was really faster than the normal stove cooking.. :) and then we cooked maggi.. But the only thing is that we have to stir it and also have to switch it on and off frequently otherwise the food gets roasted in the base... Overall a good product... :)

I am using this kettle for last 15 days. Although the manual says "strictly for boiling water" but we experimented with boiling milk and we boiled some eggs too. Boiling eggs was easy but milk is a bit tricky and needs to be constantly stirred. The kettle is cordless so its easy to clean. the overall experience is good.
