Question 1

Where is this made?

Accepted Answer

To actually answer the question: unfortunately, there are no electric kettles available (as of 10/2021) that are not made entirely or partially in China. Not of any type by any brand that I can find, at least. Even brands like KitchenAid that make some of their products in the US still outsource their electric kettles.

I have never seen so many judgmental responses to a simple question. Some of us prefer to buy American-made products because we want to support the domestic economy and/or reduce the environmental costs of having items shipped from overseas. Some of us also want to make sure that we're not supporting companies that use forced labor, and one way of doing that is by looking into where the product is manufactured. I can't speak for the OP, but not everyone who wants to know where their products come from is doing so because they're racist or xenophobic, for Pete's sake.

Question 2

If it is plugged into a timed outlet that powers on in the morning, and you have it turned on, will it power on and boil the water for you?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will do that. I have mine on a Wemo switch, connected with my alarm. When I turn the alarm off, the water begins heating in the kitchen and is  usually finished just as I get there. I also tied the switch into Google Home and can say "... make me some tea" to get it going. Because I am a dork. It works so long as the pot is full, switched on and the Wemo switched off. When I forget... it's a sad day.

Question 3

Are there any plastic parts inside the kettle (that has contact with the water)?

Accepted Answer

No persistent plastict contact with water, but the plastic top contacts water when you empty the kettle.

Question 4

The lid opens only about 45 degrees. Is that by design or is mine faulty? Hardly enough clearance to get a stream of water into it. Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Yours is faulty, but you are not alone! Just like many of other consumers' reviews state it is a present manufacturing flaw. Usually paired with malfunctioning open lid button
