Proctor Silex Electric Kettle - You Get What You Pay For
If you’re searching for an electric kettle, then the Proctor Silex electric kettle may or may not be for you. There are mixed reviews that should be discovered.
The Proctor Silex K2070 will boil water fast, is lightweight, and blends in almost any kitchen, but if you are a loose tea drinker where water quality is a must, then considering something else may be wiser since this kettle will leave a plastic taste in the water.
But if oatmeal and instant soups will be more frequent then perhaps the stronger flavors will overpower it.
Either way, there is no doubt that this may be a health hazard!?
the most recurring of all is the plastic taste the kettle will leave in the water
oil-like residue sometimes appears in the water, especially the first few times
the on/off switch is a poor quality and breaks after just a few uses
has a short power cord
one customer said it stopped working after just 7 months
the lid does not open smoothly
Proctor Silex K2070 Pros
is light weight and perfect for travel
boils water fast, even when full
has a quiet operation
detachable cord and non-spill spout
sports a transparent water indicator and saves space on small counters
All in all, you get what you pay for with this electric kettle, and for under $20 it is no surprise it has just as many cons as pros. The item is also made mostly of plastic which gives it that "cheap" look and feel. For a little more money, there are better choices out there.
