Home Appliances > Small Appliances - T-Fal BF6520004 Vitesse 1.7L Electric Kettle

Product Description

T-fal's new high-speed kettle employs 1,750 watts of electric power to bring 1 cup of cold water to a rolling boil in one minute. With the kettle filled to its 7-cup capacity, a full boil is achieved in five minutes. That makes the kettle ideal for instant coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or instant soups. To ensure that the water doesn't boil away if attention is diverted, the kettle shuts off automatically once the water reaches full boil. For convenience, it lifts off its corded power base for cordless pouring, can be set on the power base in any direction, and turns on (or off) with a simple push of a button on the handle. Inside the spout there's a removable and washable antiscale filter that extends the kettle's life. With an exterior of hard, gleaming plastic, the kettle wipes clean easily. It's pleasingly plump, has water-level windows on both sides and a cord wrap underneath, and carries a one-year warranty against defects.

Customer Reviews

I love this electric water kettle !
I strongly recommend this electric kettle!!!

So far, so good.
I bought this kettle to replace a more expensive glass electric kettle that had malfunctioned within its first year. I finally received a replacement glass kettle, but I like this plastic one so much (lid is much more sturdy) that I'm going to continue using it. Haven't used the variable temperature feature - I just use the kettle for making tea - but it's a nice option. Lid opening mechanism and power switch all feel solid.

DO NOT BUY
Plastic smell is terrible!! the taste was even worse!! I called manufacturer t-fal to complain. I sent product to them!! Waiting to hear .

One of few appliances worthy of counter space
I discovered this appliance when I rented a villa in Provence several years ago. It heated water for tea and coffee like lightening. I wanted to buy one and bring it home but the electrical plugs are different there so I couldn't. I was thrilled to find the same unit by the same maker T-Fal, available in this country. But make no mistake. It is NOT as fast as those in Europe. I think it has something to do with the amount of power delivered by their utility companies. Vitesse is French for fast or speedy. I bought one from Amazon several years ago and finally let go of it because the metal bottom interior started to show wear and peeling. I ordered a new one which is slightly different with a dial knob to control how hot you want the water to get. I think this is kind of overkill. The point is that you want to boil water and do it fast. Interestingly, the name Vitesse has been changed to Vitesses. A confusing move by the manufacturer I thought. I would prefer this unit to be offered in black as well as white. Otherwise, I think it worthy of my pressious counter space and a real time saver.

Amazing little helper
