The IQ Purse Kettle
Product Details
Web ID: 1719142Simple, Elegant, Functional
I have had several different hot pots over the years and this is the absolute best. I thought it was a little pricey, but it is absolutely worth it. Looks more elegant than most. And, I find most pot's temp settings to be confusing, clunky or hard to see. With this one the temp settings are each listed and have their own very easy to reach and see button.

Best water kettle
Just purchased the IQ Purse Kettle as a gift since I have been thrilled with my own Breville water kettles. They are long lasting and work great. The older chrome version I purchased @2009 is still working. I've used the newer IQ version for six months and once I adjusted to the look of the glass, I prefer it now. I use the water kettle at least 5 times daily.

Love it!
I really love this tea kettle!!!! We have owned several electric kettles over the past 8 or 10 years. We initially bought one because we kept forgetting water heating on the stove and we on a first name basis with the fire department (oops!!!) So, the original purpose of getting an electric kettle was for safety. These kettles turn off after the water it heated. We started using it. Now it is used EVERY DAY and WE LOVE IT. The original electric kettle we bought was a XXXXXXXX. that was 7 or 8 years ago. It was good, but it did not get the water THAT hot. We liked it because it had a glass vessel. When it broke, 5 or 6 years later, we chose another brand. We shopped on Amazon and got an XXXXXX. The XXXXXX was good. It did make the water hotter than the XXXXXXXX, but the handle was thicker and kind of awkward to hold/pour. There was no temperature settings and it work THAT long before it broke. (We probably had it 2 or 3 years) One feature I really liked about the XXXXXX was that when the water was boiling, a blue light lit up the water and you could see that the water was hot from across the room. We needed our 3rd electric kettle and went to Bloomingdales. The sales Staff was amazing. They also had a nice selection and range of attractive electric kettles. Why did we choose this one? 1- We could fit our hands into it for cleaning. It is a little tight but good. 2- The handle is on the side of the pot, so we could fill it with water. Some of the electric kettles we saw have a fixed handle that blocks the top opening and I'm not sure how you'd fill it. It didn't look easy. 3- We wanted a glass vessel. This one is made with German Schott Glass. It seems like a mix of glass and ceramic (from what I could tell from limited research) 4- Love the different water heating temps that you can choose from, but we usually just use boil 5- Very nice feature that you can keep the water warm for 20 minutes after boiling 6- It is large enough so if you entertain people you can make a good amount of hot water 7- The water seems to get hotter than the other two kettles we owned previously. We agree that the actual hotness makes our tea and coffee taste BETTER. (We did not realize this previously, but it is true) 8- Attractive looking kettle which is important for our kitchen. One thing that makes it a little awkward is that it can get heavy. We have an elderly family member in house and when it is filled with water, it can be too heavy for that person to lift. We did like the blue light that lit up to see the hot water from a previous kettle. The beeps on this Breville is nice, but they are a bit weak (in terms of volume). I would prefer the blue light, but this is good. It does have a mesh filter in front of the spout, but that doesn't add much for us - not sure what it is supposed to do - it can be easily removed. We also love being able to go to Bloomingdales and in this day and age of online retailers, we wanted to support our local store. The sales people in housewares are fun, funny and helpful! Finally, we know Breville to be a company that makes high quality products and we are excited to have this kettle in our home. We use it EVERY DAY. We have had this model now about a week or so. From our experience, after trying other electric kettles, we think you get what you pay for. So while this was a little more expensive than the other kettles that we bought in the past, this has been the best one and it is worth every penny.
