Editorial Reviews


Save time and money with this economical way to boil water, faster than a microwave and safer than a stovetop. The Toastess DLJK459 Delfino stainless steel cordless kettle boasts a convenient 1-4/5-liter (1.9-quart or 7-3/5-cup) capacity. The units has 3 separate auto shut off sensors: one once the water begins boiling, one if the kettle does not contain water, and one when the unit is lifted from the base. Boil as little as 2 cups of water for a single serving or to warm up your drink. Keep your countertop clutter at bay with the kettle's handy cord wrap and refill it easily with the wide opening hinged lid.

5Toastess Electric Kettle - Boils 2-cups in less then 2-minutes!
By Arthur Senior
EXPERIENCE: WOW, that's all I can say, seriously though, this is a top of the line electric tea kettle. First of all, I love stainless steel, as it looks nice, and is also functional in that it won't rust. Using this kettle couldn't be any easier, let me explain why. The kettle is cordless, in that you can separate it away from the power base. This allows you to easily fill it in the sink, and there is a reservoir window, located near the handle, to show you the level of water. It can boil between 0.5L all the way up to 1.8L of water.

All I had to do is press the button on the top of the handle, which released the fill door on the top of the kettle, I then filled it up to the 1.0L mark. What is nice about this kettle is, that it has a filter in the pour spout. Now all I have to do is place the kettle back onto the power base, it can go on it any which way, since it's a 360 degree connection. Then all I have to do is press down on the power switch, located towards the bottom of the handle. Another nice feature is that the kettle, when turned on, will illuminate the reservoir window, so you can see how much water is still left in the kettle.

It will boil 0.5L of water in about 1:30-minute, 1.0L in about 2:30-minutes, 1.5L in about 4:30-minutes, and 1.8L in about 6:30-minutes. I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty fast! Think about it, a normal tea pot, fully filled, on your stove, will take about 10-minutes minimum to reach boiling point on the "HIGH" stove setting, and possibly even longer. It will take your microwave at least 3-minutes to boil 1-cup of water, and at least 6 or 7 minutes to boil 2-cups. Yes, I think the Delfino electric kettle wins the race!

The kettle contains a concealed element, which I believe to be a safer rout, and it allows for easier cleaning, as opposed to older kettle models. The kettle comes with built in safety features as well. It doesn't matter how much water you put into the kettle, when it reaches boiling point, it automatically shuts off. And whenever you take the kettle off of the power base, it also automatically shuts off.

CONCLUSION: I never used to be into electric kettles in the past, I thought they were not necessary. But this stainless steel Delfino kettle from Toastess, has made me a believer. Its safer to use, faster to use, and easier to use, what more could you want? Its list price is for $52.00 dollars. I highly recommend this electric kettle, 5-stars!

5Fantastic and fast!
By Bob
Bought this kettle for my parents as a Christmas present. We've been using it several times a day for two weeks and it has worked beautifully. Looks great on the counter and boils water amazingly quickly. It's a bit noisy when it's heating the water, but it boils so quickly that the sound isn't even a problem. Cordless and auto-off features are great. Better than the other electric kettle I have at home. Would definitely recommend!

STOPPED WORKING IN UNDER 3 MONTHS
By Mandy
Below is my previous five star review. I loved this thing. But then, nothing. Worked great for a little under 3 months. Then, it worked as normal for one pot of hot water. Tried to use it again an hour later, NOTHING. I tried everything to get it to work again, different sockets, positions, let it sit for several hours wondering if something got wet and needed to dry... So, I am no longer a proponent of this product.

PREVIOUS REVIEW:

I just received this and I am super pleased. I had a plastic kettle but it was too small to fill my hot water bottle and I was concerned about drinking out of hot plastic. This thing is much larger and heats much faster! The best of both worlds. It looks very nice and it appears to have no plastic that touches the hot water...except maybe the lid--bot only when pouring and it doesn't run over the plastic.
