Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Aroma AWK-290BD 6-Cup Digital Electric Water Kettle, Black
Customer Review: Best kettle on the market!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried a few kettles, and this is by far the best. It is very impressive,
The water gauge is fantastic.
The units are in cups (not fluid ounces/liters) which is much more meaningful for making drinks.
It also changes colors based on water temp. Green, light blue, dark blue, purple, red. It also has the inbetween colors as they mix together. The image does not show green though, and it would seem more logical or me if it went blue to red.
The handle is a great quality, sturdy, not a slippery plastic, no horible rough edges, and it stays solid when you squeeze it. The buttons are nice individual buttons with a firm click to them.
You can press the power switch followed by quick boil to heat straight to boiling point. Upon boil, the power turns off (and it doesn't wait too long either which is good), the light turns out, and it bleeps to alert you it has finished.
Alternatively, you can press power followed by the keep warm button, which lets you toggle through different temperatures. When it reaches that temperature it will hold it for 20 minutes. Its a pity you cant select a temperature and then have it go off without holding, but you can always turn it off yourself by re-hitting power.
Whenever the kettle is on its base, it tells you the temperature of the water on the LED. So you can see it heating up and cooling down, but the gauge light only illuminates whilst heating.
This kettle does not alter the taste of the water, heats faster than other 2000w kettles, and has a convenient to remove filter,
If I had to improve this kettle, I would
1) Let the user toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit. To me, boiling point is 100 Celsius not 212 Fahrenheit.
2) Have an option where the kettle can reach a certain temperature and then turn off
3) Have the lid pop-up by a button on the handle.
4) Have cold start with a blue-colored gauge, not green
Overall I am VERY impressed by this kettle.
