5.0 out of 5 stars Great Kettle ( Oster BVST-EK5966 Water Kettle ), October 20, 2009
This review is from: Oster BVST-EK5966 Stainless-Steel 1-2/3-Liter Electric Water Kettle (Kitchen)
I am using this kettle for the last 30 days(Bought it from Wal-M, Sorry Amazon) and i've already used it about 30 times or more to make my tea(I LOVE TEA). So far no leak no problem. this kettle hold 1.70 liters which is about 57.50 Oz.
It takes 6 minutes and 45 seconds (6:45)to bring it to boil at full capacity (1.7 liters)and 4 minutes 32 seconds for 1.00 liter and at minimum recommended capacity which is half a liter(2 Cups) it take 2 minutes and 6 seconds water to boil(I start with water room temprature of 69F and 2500 feet above sea level). That it not bad. I like the idea of the body is Stainless Steel because plastic ones add Odor and chemical to the water which is not safe in my opinion(even though, this unit has some plastic part inside, Like filter or top part of the lid from inside But you can remove the filter if you want). It also has Blue LED light inside! the kettle so you can see if the unit in working or not. No cord is connected to the kettle itself so that's... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Standard kettle, January 3, 2010
This review is from: Oster BVST-EK5966 Stainless-Steel 1-2/3-Liter Electric Water Kettle (Kitchen)
Cons (based on first week of usage):
- Auto shutoff kicks in a bit late for my taste. My older kettle shuts off a bit earlier, but this is a personal thing.
- Oily residue on the inside of the kettle. Difficult to remove, even after several rinsings with vinegar/water solution and dishwashing soap. Update: I don't notice the residue now, although it took 5 or 6 boilings to get to that point.
- Inside is NOT entirely stainless steel, as another reviewer mentioned. There is the plastic(?) water level gauge, as well as a removable plastic mounting bracket for the filter, which is itself plastic. The wonderful shiny blue light (mentioned in the other reviews) comes from a small plastic casing at the base of the kettle. There is also a steel rod connecting the cap of the kettle to the base, and there is a small rubber seal at the base of this rod. This is not a lot of plastic compared to some kettles, but it is there.

Pros:
- Sturdy and straightforward... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Gift!, December 8, 2009
This review is from: Oster BVST-EK5966 Stainless-Steel 1-2/3-Liter Electric Water Kettle (Kitchen)
What a great gift for busy, absent-minded friends and family of all ages.
Due to many forgotten, burned-out water pots on our stove; we have tried many water kettles. We gave up because: impossible to clean the interiors; occupying too much counter space; lengthy heating periods; lids that stuck and rusted; parts, seams and materials in the water chamber affecting health and taste; and the inconvenience of the cord when pouring.
I could not believe the perfect design of this kettle: the interior is accessible for cleaning and all stainless, the cordless removable unit to carry to the table, the quick heating, large capacity, the press-button pop-up lid, non-drip pouring spout, removable filtering screen, cord storage... Oster thought of everything for safety and convenience!
But then added the LED blue light that is on so you know when it is heating! A moment of beauty! The boiling water creates blue shadows through the translucent lid and capacity window like a moving... Read more
