BELLA 1.5 Liter Electric Ceramic Tea Kettle with Boil Dry Protection & Detachable Swivel Base, Black Floral

we use is everyday, not only is it nice looking it works well.

FYI replacement gasket. I bought this in 2017 and replaced gasket in 2024. CowanMic 5 Pcs Coffee Concentrate Silicone Gasket Replacement Ring. 2.95 inch diameter. Got this from Wallmart. I noticed a lot of people are looking for this. It fits ok if you use two of the 5 gaskets. I like the kettle, use it daily

Very pretty and elegant looking. Heats water quickly.

I no longer drink coffee and was using my Kcup machine for hot water for my tea. My machine is getting old and not working very well so I decided I better find a convenient way to heat water quickly and save the machine for kcups only ( others drink coffee). Very pleased with this kettle so far. I wanted a ceramic kettle and although I didn't care for the modern tile design, I decided that this kettle best met my needs for a ceramic kettle. It's much larger than I imagined but I can handle it fine and I don't mind the design ( silver tile) even though it is a bit contemporary for my taste. The thing I really love about this kettle is that it heats so quickly that I don't have to wait but just two minutes ( if that) for a very hot cup of tea. I don't wait for a rapid boil. As soon as I see steam coming out of the neck, I turn it off and the water is PLENTY hot. The handle doesn't get hot and the lid doesn't get hot but the body does of course so one must be careful not to touch it. The lid is secure/won't fall off but I still hold it out of habit when pouring and it helps keep the pot balanced. I like that it has a removable base. The plug is a heavy duty three prong grounded plug and it is recommended that you use a dedicated receptacle which I don't have so what I do is not run anything else from that receptacle while heating. The only other thing I use that receptacle for is my can opener and so, I'm not concerned. It's made in China which disappoints me and I hope it lasts. I normally don't like many small appliances in my kitchen but this kettle is definitely worth the purchase since I don't have to turn on my stove and heat a kettle( and my kitchen) for ten minutes for one cup of tea.After one year of use the only thing I've noticed is that the heating time does slow down a bit but I also noticed that when I descale it, it seems to heat faster. So maybe the lime scale slows it down? I've not had any cracks or other problems. As far as weight goes, I don't like filling it at the sink because it's a bit hefty so I keep a bottle of filtered water to use for refilling.UPDATE Nov. 1, 2018: As of July 2017, I owned this Bella kettle for one year with no problems other than it's heavier than I can handle at this point ( I have a lot of MS weakness symptoms due to Lyme). Yesterday, I noticed that my countertop was covered in water. In the direct sunlight, I was able to see water droplets forming quickly in a ring around the kettle. The kettle had formed a crack right where the wider base meets the more narrow top half. Oh well. I got a lot of use from it. My only warning is that no one who has dexterity problems or muscle weakness should use this.

My lid broke on my bella ceramic kettle can I get a replacement anywhere.

Sturdy, pretty, useful

This item Bella is such a wonderful Ceramic Kettle. Unfortunately I received one that didn’t work. This is not my first Bella Ceramic Kettle, I was disappointed this morning when I went to have my tea and it just didn’t work.

This kettle is really beautiful and a good size. Be aware that being made of thick ceramic it is quite substantial in weight and when filled with water even more so. The main body of the outside does get quite hot so it is a bit difficult for someone with arthritic hands to handle. The reasons I didn't give it five stars is that it takes a long time for a full kettle to come to a boil and the on/off switch does not automatically turn off as it should when the water boils.
