Flimsy product from usually reliable Bodum October 6, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Looking at water kettles and reading reviews I decided to ignore the cheapest (which seemed to be plastic-y and not long lasting) and go for a Bodum, as I have used their products in the past. I know $40 is still inexpensive for a water kettle in the US (I dont know why) but I expected more bang for my buck. The Bodum kettle is made of cheap plastic that actually is bendable when heated. The smell in the kettle is of burnt plastic and while it works very well (boils water fast/shuts off/has nice design) I cannot bring myself to drink water from this kettle - would you boil water in a plastic take-away container? That is what it seems like to me. I never expected such cheap quality possible in electric kettles since I have lived in Ireland where every household has one and there are never any as flimsy as this Bodum kettle.
