Summary: OK for the price
Comment: I bought this kettle for my dorm. I didn't want to spend a lot on my first electric kettle. I think for the price it works well.
The disadvantages that you may want to look at are
1) The cord length is quite short. So if your plug point is near the floor, you can't keep it on the table.
2) The heating coil inside is visible outside and hence you will need to boil atleast 2 cups of water to keep the water level above the coil. This means more water wastage and more time to get it boiled.
3) I don't think it has "auto off" feature. Even if it has it's not reliable
But if you want a kettle for short term use.. It works!!

Summary: Super Buy
Comment: One of my closest friends is, like me, a tea lover. For some reason, the hotel rooms he books all lack a means of heating water, so I picked one of these up locally for a mere $[...] a few years ago in order to get him over the hump during his visits.
As it turns out, I now use it myself when he's not here (which is about 49/52 weeks per annum) because it heats my water a lot faster than my electric range. It's sturdy, lightweight and portable, not bad-looking, has a detachable cord, and--contrary to complaints from other reviewers--the lid easily snaps open and shut. I also like the auto shut-off feature as I tend to get preoccupied and forget that I have water heating. And because it's tallish and slim, it has a small footprint that doesn't take up much counter space. (I would, however, caution users to make sure they don't grip the handle too close to the top because the small amount of steam that escapes could result in a burn.)
All in all, I can't imagine anyone's not being happy with this little kettle's performance (other than obsessive, liver-lipped, obnoxious, ugly-boy stalker trolls). I'm not thrilled that it's made in China, but I imagine that most of the more expensive models available are manufactured there as well. All things considered, it's definitely worth its low purchase price.

Summary: Foolproof
Comment: This little kettle does what it's meant to do, simply and without frills. I've had bigger and cordless models but I've had electrical problems with the kettle/pot portion not connecting properly after a year or so of use. I've had this kettle for about 3 years now with no problems. Three of my friends have bought this kettle after seeing how easily this kettle works. While it does have a cord to plug in, it's very easy to insert and remove and take the kettle to wherever needed. One bonus is it takes up less counter space than the cordless model.

Summary: First Time Purchasing an Electric Kettle and Loving It
Comment: My fiance and I love having french press coffee in the morning and that's pretty much the only way we'll have our coffee at home (unless we're having lattes using this: Bialetti Cappuccino and Latte Set). So when we're in a bit of a hurry, waiting on the kettle to boil on the electric stove for 8 minutes can be a tad annoying. So I decided to invest in this Proctor Silex Kettle and I think it boils at full capacity in about 4 minutes. The maximum fill quantity is also perfect for our french press: Bodum New Kenya 34-Ounce Coffee Press, Black. We're both impressed with its abilities and we've been using it almost daily since we got it. Definitely recommend it:)

Summary: Excellent value
Comment: I bought this kettle so that I could make tea in my office and, in the year that I have owned it, has served me extremely well. The kettle holds approximately 32 oz. of water, so I get two cups per kettle, even with my gargantuan 16oz mug. The kettle heats to boiling and then shuts off, which is an excellent safety feature, especially for me who might run out of my office when it's on. The only downside for me is that the kettle can be kind of slow to heat from cold. I've found it to be no faster than a kettle on my stove, so I don't bother to use this at home. But in the office where I don't have a full kitchen, this serves me well, and you can't beat the price.
