We had a Sage Smart Kettle for about 3 years and were very happy with it. But for the past couple of months it started to act out, loosing contact with its based, beeping when regaining it, sometimes not turning on at all.
The requirements were simple:
- Temperature control to be able to prepare green tea at 80C
- Visible water level
- Attached lid
Turned out that the choice isn’t that large. For example Haier I-Master Series 5 doesn’t have a visible water level, something I’d consider a basic feature.
So, we settled for Ninja.
What can I say:
- It boils 1L of water at exactly 2 minutes, which is pretty amazing.
- There’s a real time display of temperature.
- And there’s a led highlighting the water level when the kettle is on.
I especially like the real time display, as it gives a rough indication on how long until the kettle boils, or if it’s too hot to touch.
