Touxila Portable Electric Kettle for Travel 120V, 13.5oz, 4 Temp Settings

I bought this to bring on a trip, and quickly realized it would be great to bring into the office. It heats enough for one mug. It was dropped about a month after being delivered, and the lid broke. I contacted the company, and they quickly resolved the issue by sending me a brand new kettle! I was so impressed with such wonderful customer service. The color is as expected. I got the beige one, and the rose gold accent is very cute. I love being able to have hot, fresh tea at my desk at work. This would also be great for instant coffee. I bring it in already filled with water, so having that option is very convenient. I love love love that it’s only stainless steel touching the boiling water. There’s a max fill line etched on the inside. I’ve overfilled it at times which has caused a bit of water to leak out when the water reaches a boil, so the silicone cover over the plug on the kettle is extremely helpful in that case. There’s a handle at the top of the lid which is nice. I enjoy using this tea kettle so much! Very easy to use, and up-levels the warm beverage on the go game.

I’m genuinely blown away by this portable electric heating water mug—its overall build quality and appearance are simply premium and exquisitely designed. The sleek, compact body is ultra lightweight and perfectly sized for easy portability, making it a breeze to toss into a backpack, travel bag, or carry-on luggage for daily commutes and long trips alike. What really sets this mug apart is its versatile multi-temperature control system. It comes with multiple adjustable heat settings, covering low to high ranges all the way up to 212°F, plus several intermediate temperature levels above 100°F. You can effortlessly tailor the water temperature precisely to your own needs, whether it’s for warm drinking water, tea, coffee, or other hot beverages. Beyond its rapid boiling performance, it also features a reliable smart thermal insulation function. After the water reaches your set temperature, it maintains the ideal warmth steadily for hours, so you can enjoy piping hot water anytime you want. Without a doubt, this is an absolute travel essential. It’s perfectly suited for anyone who needs ready access to hot water while traveling, on business trips, camping, or staying in hotels. Practical, stylish, and incredibly functional—10/10 would highly recommend!

This thing is so easy to use -- just touch the (touch sensitive, not mechanical) power button once to turn it on and set it for 212°, twice for 176°, and so forth, then let it do its thing. Both volume and weight come in at exactly 14 ounces -- two cups of coffee or tea, or if you drink it out of a mug like I do, one full mug :) I accidentally dropped this thing onto a wooden floor at a height of about three feet, and it was none the worse for wear -- no marks or dents, and it still worked perfectly fine. There's really not much to it. It's very simple, and quite rugged. I placed an SPL meter right next to the unit, and it topped out at 62db as it approached 160°, then trailed off as the water got hotter (for reference, 62db is conversation level, or a fairly quiet office). It took exactly 7 minutes and 19 seconds to reach 212° Fahrenheit. The cord is 27" long, minus the plugs. The unit gets comfortably warm to the touch, but not hot. The interior is made of aluminum, so you needn't worry about any chemicals leaching into the water. It beeps three times to indicate when it's reached your desired temperature, and automatically shuts off. There's a little caution sticker on top to remind you to wait a minute or so before unscrewing the lid, because of the pressure buildup during the boiling process. If you attempt to remove it immediately, there's a (vanishingly small) chance you could scald your hand due to that pressure buildup. There's a vent at the top to greatly reduce that risk. If you overfill the unit (past the line indicator inside), the excess water WILL escape through that vent and pool around the unit, so don't overfill! My only regret is that I hadn't discovered this thing sooner. When travelling, I have found it to be a Godsend! Very highly recommended for travelers or RVers, etc. POSTSCRIPT: Amazon is reminding me to remark on its color and smell. There is no smell at all, either the unit itself or when in use. The color is a sort of off-white. I have seen some users express a desire to see this thing in different colors, so maybe the manufacturer will take note and make it available in other colors!

good for price works as described

I use this kettle almost daily and love it. It’s small and doesn’t take much space, the cord is long enough to give you room, and it’s cute. Heats up water within minutes and has different temp options as well. It heats the water perfectly, if you like it boiling hot it will get it boiling.

Received portable kettle recently and tested it out. It’s very efficient and I’m very pleased with quality and speed. Good buy!

The Touxila Portable Electric Kettle completely delivers on its promises. It’s incredibly easy to use and has a surprisingly solid, durable build for its size. The compact design makes it effortless to pack and travel with. If you're looking for a reliable, portable kettle that just works, this is a fantastic choice.

I was waiting and looking for product like this for many years. When we travel and stay in hotels we like to make tea. Hot water from coffeemakers usually is not hot enough and smells of stale coffee grounds. So we were bringing along regular tea kettle and it takes a lot of space in luggage. This little kettle fits our bill perfectly. - Size. You'll get less than promised 400 ml of boiling water, probably 350 ml or so, because you cannot fill it to the brim, duh. Just enough to make one travel mug of tea at a time. Takes as much place as such a mug in luggage. - Portability. Forget about using this as a cup or water bottle. I would not brew tea in it or carry it around filled with liquid of any kind. Tea would stain the interior and inevitably spill. Use it strictly for boiling water and pouring it into another cup for brewing. - Speed of boiling. I see people complaining about it being slow to boil. Depending on how warm is the water you start with, it takes 6-8 minutes for the unit to beep and indicate 212F. Then it is boiling when you remove the top. In fact it slows the rate of heating towards the end to prevent boil-over. You get to 208-210F in 4-5 minutes and that is enough to brew tea even if it does not come to roiling boil. So you can unplug before it beeps and open safely. - Design. They were trying too hard to make this portable. Carrying handle is flimsy and useless. Threads on the cover may be larger, easier to open and close with less twisting. Rubber flap covering the cord connector looks flimsy too. All these details take away from the otherwise solid feel of the kettle itself. - Electrical. Yes, this is not cordless. To me a big plus is that the cord is detachable. No need to struggle coiling it around the unit. Another plus is that the cord connector is standard "mickey-mouse-ears" type that you find on power supplies for laptops. So you can use your laptop cord and leave the one from the kettle at home. I measured the power draw when the kettle is heating and it is approximately 300W. That's why the cord is not as thick and rigid as you would find on large kettles that draw 1000W+. But that also makes for slower heating of course. All in all, I am happy with this kettle. Time will show how long it lasts.
