Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of DeLonghi Metropolis KBM1511 Electric Kettle
Customer Review: A Mixed Bag
Summary: 2 Stars
On the positive side: it's cool looking, there's a loud clunk when it turns off so you can hear it from another room (and the boiling is loud, too), and there's a bright red on-light.
However, it's not that easy to fill because it's narrow at the top, the handle fell apart in less than two years, the filter inside deteriorated and the finish on the cap has worn off because of the steam (I assume).
No replacement parts available from the manufacturer. I guess theye xpect you to throw it away and buy a new one.
Description of DeLonghi Metropolis KBM1511 Electric Kettle
The Delonghi Metropolis Electric Kettle has a Sleek, Attractive Metropolis design. It beautifully compliments any kitchen décor. There is a three level safety system. The unit will automatically shut itself off when water begins to boil, the kettle is lifted from the base, and when the kettle is empty. The Electric Kettle with it's 1500 watts of power, boils water quickly. There is an easy to read Water Level Indicator to know exactly how much water is left.Italian-made and sleek in structure, the DeLonghi Metropolis electric teakettle boils water in mere minutes. Better still, the powerful 1500-watt heating element is concealed in a flat disk base that allows for 360-degree rotation and easy cordless serving. Crafted with a stainless-steel interior, the kettle rests comfortably on the base and turns on with a simple plastic depressor button. For safety, a three-way system guards against overheating and boiling dry--it shuts off the kettle automatically if you lift it, if the water boils, or if it is empty. DeLonghi also includes a washable screen filter to keep impurities and deposits out of your tea.
Arced and rounded, the kettle's handle is comfortable, and the spout is sharply turned to prevent drips and splashes. A clear water level indicator shows minimum, maximum, and liter markings. Fashionably finished in graphite with chrome and black accents, the kettle is a handsome countertop staple. The on/off button could be a bit more durable, but its use is simple and straightforward. Resting on its 8-inch base, the kettle stands 10 inches high and holds 58 ounces or 1.7 liters. It includes tidy power cord storage, a power indicator light, and a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
