I was on a search for a new kettle. which I wanted to be with temperature control and without any plastic parts where it comes in contact with water.
It could be a little tricky to find an electric kettle like that, as the internal top of the lid and level indicators are often plastic. It is a little hard to tell from the photos, but the internal part of the lid does look stainless to me. It looks like a decent quality one to me overall, I was not able to find anything of better value.
This one was $99 in the morning, but they have just reduced it to match Harvey Norman and other stores.

Update 2025/03/20: I have recieved the kettle today. Overall, I am very happy with it. It is quiet, quick to boil water, stainless steel everywhere apart from a little tongue that holds the lid in closed position which is plastic, but it is only a 5mm little tongue. The only little downside is how the lid operates, it is awkward to open it as one needs to press the button on the top down, which presses the lid in preventing it to open. Also, it only opens half way initially and you need to then pull it up.

    • Musiclover on 18/03/2025 - 14:59

      It does look nicer by features. So, maybe Xiaomi kettle pro 2 is a better one.

      1800W is a bit slower than 2200W, but 2400W is going to be ideal for kettles

      The bottom has teflon coating. which i think is a great idea to prevent scales, plus the temperature is controlled so not to worry about over heating.

            @noone: Do you have a link to it please? Is it all stainless steel? No Teflon coating?

            Do the AliExpress ones have an AU plug, or do you have to buy an adapter?

            • noone on 27/03/2025 - 10:20

              @Ice009: I can't share aliexpress links as it comes up as affiliated but you can just search xiaomi kettle pro 2 and should come up with a few options and I just chose the cheapest one.

              It's all 304L stainless steel and comes with plug which is upside down to Australian plug so you can plug it upside down at the socket. The writing on the kettle is also in Chinese

              • Ice009 on 27/03/2025 - 12:44

                @noone: Hi, thanks for the reply. I just went to AliExpress and saw that you can choose to ship with EU, UK, AU adapter. Is that what you meant? I found one for $86 AUD (How much did you get yours for?) And like you said, I also saw in the user reviews there is no English instructions. Is it easy enough to figure out with the Chinese writing? I see it has a few buttons. Do you just adjust the temperature with the dial?

                I kind of like the one that uses 316 stainless steel in the Amazon link. Not sure if that is a better kettle or not material wise. I wonder if there is much difference between 304L and 316 in regards to the type of water used. The Kettle Pro 2 looks really good, though, with the temperature adjustment.

                Also, the interior of the one you bought is stainless steel? There's no coating inside. Another member above mentioned something about Teflon coating on the base, but he didn't specify what kettle he was talking about (if it's an Xiaomi or this Philips one he was referring to when he said that).

                • noone on 27/03/2025 - 14:08

                  @Ice009: Yes I selected AU adapter and they provided me with an adapter, however you can plug it straight to the socket up side down too. I paid $75.81 delivered, not sure if there was some promo before.

                  The Chinese writing are just for the 2 buttons, the left one is keep warm and the right one is boil. You can turn the knob to select the required temperature you want to keep warm to.

                  I just checked my kettle again and looks like you're right, the bottom part looks like it's coated with Teflon (https://imgur.com/a/LgycqF4). You can also see from the photo that some pitting has already showing on the left side near the Teflon coating which is not good. I would say 316 would be more resistant to pitting so I might look into kettles with full 316L SS

                  Let me know if you have any questions regarding the kettle

                  • Ice009 on 30/03/2025 - 07:46

                    @noone: Thanks for the reply. I won't be able to buy it if it's got Telfon in it then, darn. I wonder why they put that in there? For durability against tap water?

                    Also, thanks for the photo. I appreciate it. I guess back to the drawing board. I wonder if Xiaomi make any that don't have the coating on the bottom?

                    What usually causes pitting? Is that an indicator of not so good quality SS, or would that vary depending on water quality used in it?

    • Chumpmaster on 18/03/2025 - 20:43

    The lid doesn't open properly. It will get stuck every 2nd opening attempt to fill it up. You will need to modify the notch the lid lever slides in. You will know what I mean when you inspect the mechanism.

    • Alley Cat on 18/03/2025 - 16:57

      I didn’t realise the lid opens all the way until the next day lol

      It does bother me that the open button needs a second hand to push, otherwise a decent unit for the price.

      • Dollar Dreamer on 18/03/2025 - 23:56

        Opening the lid is like a mario double jump timing attempt. Do it too slow and the lid will get stuck, too fast and the lid will get stuck again.

    • Username3RR0r on 22/03/2025 - 19:19

      I bought the same model and quickly realized the lid only opening halfway is a safety feature.. Opening it all the way to refill after it's just boiled can allow scolding condensed water to run off the inside of the lid and over your hand holding the kettle.

  • supperman on 18/03/2025 - 17:14

    I have this kettle for a while so here's a quick review.
    Pro: temperature control, double walled, internal stainless steel, large capacity 1.7L, min to boil is 1 cup
    Cons: lid is stupid. Doesn't open all the way with one click, have to push it with your hand on top of the hot steam. It boils to set temperature only, not to 100C then cool down so no good if you want to make baby formula.

    • toastfacegrillah on 18/03/2025 - 19:16
      +1

      Isn't that the point of the temperature control, to heat the water to the selected temperature (eg. 70, 80, 90 etc).
      Otherwise wouldn't you just boil it normally, and then let it cool off?

      • supperman on 18/03/2025 - 22:25

        My previous kettle was a Xiaomi. Via Bluetooth you can also set it to boil to 100C and cool down then keep at 40 C for 24h to make baby formula.

        • Lord Ra on 18/03/2025 - 23:59

          Why do you need to keep it @ 40°C for 24hrs? Just up to 100, then cool and use?

          • supperman on 19/03/2025 - 00:17

            @Lord Ra: Because the body temperature is 37 C. You want luke warm water to make formula. 40C is the lowest on these kettles.

            • caitsith01 on 19/03/2025 - 11:25

              @supperman: It's not the 40C part, it's the keeping it there for 24 hours part that is weird.

              • supperman on 19/03/2025 - 12:27

                @caitsith01: Baby feed is around the clock. You don't want to reboil and wait for it too cool down every few hours, especially midnight. That's why the 24h timer is useful. Again, my specific comment is towards potential buyers who are after a kettle to make baby formula. It may not make sense for general use.

                • caitsith01 on 19/03/2025 - 15:15

                  @supperman: I've got kids. Much simpler solution than leaving your kettle heating 24/7 is one of those specialised bottle warmers. They literally get a bottle to the right temp in a minute or two on demand and take up no space.

                  • supperman on 19/03/2025 - 15:26

                    @caitsith01: I got one of those warmers. They heat up too much too fast so you will have to hang around to check for the correct temp inside the bottle. Not a fun thing to do at 3 AM in the morning. The kettle only needs to keep temp at 40C. Small price to pay if convenience matters to you.

                      @supperman: It's more that we're in an environmental crisis and sitting around running your kettle 24 hours a day for 'convenience' shows how wildly out of touch with it people are. But anyway.

                      • supperman on 19/03/2025 - 19:40

                        @caitsith01: I’m glad your little bottle warmer works for you. Your solution may not work for others. I’m simply stating the boil then cool feature is not available with this kettle. The function itself consumes less than 1 kWh a day.
                        If you’re so concerned about environmental impact, maybe reduce your own foot prints instead of projecting your own personal opinions on other people’s life. I have EV, solar, and home battery setup to self sustain but I’m not going around forcing everyone to do the same. Let’s wrap up this discussion here.

        The purpose to boil to 100C isn't just because to get it to the desired drinking temperature but to disinfect. Therefore, there is benefits to first boil the water to 100C then let it cool down and keep at the desired temperature rather than just heat it to the desired temperature without boiling first.

        While lower temperatures can kill some bacteria, boiling water to 100°C (212°F) ensures a more thorough and reliable disinfection, killing a wider range of pathogens, including viruses and parasites, that may be present in water, making it a safer and more effective method for water purification.

      According to this thread you couldn't possibly live with a kettle that doesn't have the function of checks notes not actually boiling water.

    Ended up getting it for $67.15 from The Good Guys as I got an exclusive Afterpay day voucher for 15% off some items… was going to create a post but it is said to be a unique voucher code. Also had some discounted TCN Him cards to use so that worked out well. No local stock though so had to pay $6 for delivery which negated some of the benefit.

        How do you find it? Beside the faulty boiling for me, I find the lid release button is poorly designed. The lid release button cannot be quickly tap to open the lid, I need to gently press hold for 1 second then slowly release my finger to open the lid.

        It looks food visually is the only positive things I can say.

        Going to try the XiaoMi as other have suggested
