Brentwood KT-1508BL Dual Voltage 120/220 Volt Collapsible-Travel Kettle, 0.8 Liter, Blue

Took 15 days to arrive in a beat up box probably from being shipped in only an outer paper bag. There was a slight silicone odor at first but quickly dissipated to acceptable after rinsing. It took 5 minutes 30 seconds for a full 110v pot (3.5 cups) of chilled filtered water to boil at 200ft above sea level and automatically turns off when it reaches boiling. There is a release for the handle so it stays open and rigid when you want but easily closes. Others I saw had handles that didn’t close and were too close to the hot silicone body and I wanted something more compact but safe. The lid has a spring-loaded catch so it won’t accidentally fly open, but isn’t hermetically sealed because of the spout, which means pressure can escape. After use it cooled off fast and took a bit of work to collapse the silicone body but not too hard. The max and min lines are hard to read but you can easily feel them. The chord is 28 inches long. I read that someone didn’t find the setting for 220v but it is there labeled on the bottom if I ever need it. This will be perfect for adventure meals, oatmeal, coffee or midnight tea on a train, hotel or RV. Coach and observation cars on Amtrak have big beautiful outlets near each seat. If you read their rules they say something about “plug in appliances” but I have never seen any conductor say anything when I have used other kettles. You could get a cup of hot water if there is an open snack car, but don’t count on it. I’m loving train travel right now, and this makes it even better. Other kettles I’ve used were too big and started glitching when I tried to set temps so now I prefer something simpler and more portable. Way back when I used to use a “sting” to heat water right in the cup but the naked element seems too dangerous, even when I now can use a silicone carrying sleeve. It’s the smallest option except for spirit and backpacking stoves which are a whole other subject. When at home for maintenance, if any calcium collects over time from water, I plan to boil 3.5 cups of water with 1/4 cup of vinegar then rinse. After carefully searching for the best pot at the best price this fills all my travel needs and doesn’t seem flimsy. I’ll update if anything changes.

I tried so many portable water kettles, and this one works the best. Travels small; heats fast; stores in a small space. Easy to use and clean. Perfect.

Brentwood Appliances KT-1508BK .85-Quart Dual-Voltage Collapsible-Travel Kettle fill lines are really difficult to read. It heats quickly and collapses down but not really small. It's okay for my travel needs.

Lightweight, small and speedy, this collapsable travel kettle was a great companion on my recent month-long road trip! I love tea but I hate the taste of stale coffee oil that persists on anything that has ever contained coffee -- like those coffee makers in hotel rooms. With this tea kettle, I could have a tasty cup of tea every morning. I also found it useful when we were in campgrounds. I took it to the bath house and boiled water while I was brushing my teeth in the morning. That way I had tea and could also cook up some instant oatmeal. (Other folks in the campground asked me where they could get one!) I really appreciated that the kettle automatically turns off when the water comes to a boil. My only complaint is that if you're not very careful when you pour the boiled water into your cup, it is easy to scald yourself. This kettle held enough water for two mugs of tea.

This little kettle worked great while traveling. The handle folds so it packs small-ish. The silicon is stiff enough to stay upright. Easy pouring with no risk of touching a hot surface. Pay attention to fill line as I didn’t check first time and it boiled over. Quick boiling and kettle contains enough for two cups.

This thing is brilliant. I never leave a review unless there is a negative thing I want others to be aware of before they buy - but this little kettle is the bomb. I researched so many options and am glad I got this one. Collapses easily. Heats quickly. Pours nicely. Works consistently. Large capacity. My only hesitation when I bought it was the design of the fold out handle but that works well too. All pros and no cons.

I use it daily, I love it. Definitely worth the money!

Works great for both 110V and 220V. Compact. Easy to take on trips.

Una de las mejores compras que he hecho. Súper práctica

La tetera llegó muy rápido y en buen estado. Si tiene un olor fuerte a plástico pero con agua y un poco de vinagre se quita. Es tal como en la foto, muy práctica y de buen tamaño para viaje. Sin embargo, después de un par de usos el cable comenzó a tener un corto que hacía que no se mantuviera encendida, lamentablemente la tuve que devolver.

Desconozco por qué no me llegó el paquete jamás, supongo que logística de Amazon. Sin embargo lo había visto en acción en la oficina donde trabajo y es maravilloso, calienta y hierve el agua muy rápido, es muy compacto y resistente. Se apaga en automático cuando lleva mucho rato hirviendo el agua lo cual lo hace por demás seguro. Si lo llenas a la marca donde indica Máximo (max 800ml) no salpica ni derrama el agua, la tapa cierra con un segurito para evitar que se abra al vertirla (tiene una rejilla al frente donde sale el agua suficiente para ir llenando la taza).

Great product. Saved lots of money on drinks as we travel from one city to the next. Fast boiling and easy to use.
