How much does the kettle itself weigh? I find most 1.7 liters to be too heavy.

it is about the same as other kettels. but the quality is much better, the outside does not get as hot as other kettles and it warms water much faster and quietly. I have mine for almost 3 years now. I bought a second smaller one for my wife to use in office.

I never fill it much, so it's not very heavy for me. It's plastic, so that keeps weight down, I guess.

the kettle is very light,my best advice would be to not put more water in it than you need if weight is an issue, this will also shorten the boil time.

Empty, the kettle weighs 2 pounds. I usually fill it to between 0.7 and 1 liter. I use both hands when it's got water in it. I rarely need a full kettle of water, but it's good that it's available.

I think it weighs about 2 lbs or slightly less. I believe it to be average or below average in weight, especially when compared to other heavy plastic or metal kettles. I don't often fill it to the 'fill' line but if I do I can use both hands if necessary. It has a really great large handle that is very easy to grip, large enough for two hands if necessary.

I agree with others. Empty is fine. Only boil as much water as you need and you will have no problem.

The specs on the product say 1.7lbs. Mine is full so I can't weigh it and I will defer to what the company says.

I don't know exactly but it is heavy. not something I want to drop on the tile floor or in the sink. It's probably about 15 pounds.

Just tested for you. A full 1.5L water bring to boil and stop it takes 7 minutes and 50 second on my kettle.

I actually had to return the kettle. The handle was difficult to pull open. It was also in an awkward spot. This is a large kettle. I ordered a different one from Vermont Country Store. I am extremely pleased with it. It comes in 3 different sizes. The Farberware is a heavy duty well made kettle. I would have kept it if the trigger was easy to use and in a different spot.I hope this helps.

The maximum I fill it is to about halfway up the holes that cover the opening to the spout inside the kettle. That comes to a little under 40 ounces. This deceptively small-looking kettle actually holds quite a bit of water. That's the standard amount I boil in the kettle and it's never come close to boiling over.

The kettle is rated at 120V - 60 Hz and 1500 Watts. Good luck with it. It works great and we haven't had any problems with it.

Not sure of the actual weight. But I can tell you it is a large pot and it is heavy, if it is not 29 pounds it has to be close to it. And it is a very well made pot as well. It also transfers the heat well with the clad bottom. The handles on mine are riveted and spot welded as well.

I don't find it that heavy at all. I hold the handle and hold the lid with one finger as I'm pouring into cup with no problem at all.

Sorry, I have no idea...am just enjoying using this wonderful kettle - so much better than all those used by my family before ;)

I'm not sure how much it weighs, but it's not heavy. Of course when you fill it with water to generate the steam it becomes a little heavier, but it's fairly light as it's made mostly of plastic.

There is a gradation indicator on the outside to the left of the plastic black handle. It starts at 0 Liters and goes to 1.5 Liters in increments of 4 bars. I can tell you that I fill the pot about 1/4 of the way and am able to fill my 16oz stainless travel mug. Often times the measurement indicators on the inside of a kettle are made of plastic and allow for chemicals from melted plastic to get into your liquids when heating. This is not the case with this pot. I still love the pot and it looks and performs as good as the day I received it.

For what it's worth, I homebrew with a bayou classic 1046 142 quart pot as a brew kettle (it's significantly heavy when empty). Although I had bricks in place, apparently much of my weight was on the burner. It flexed on me after running high heat for quite some time and roughly 25 gallons of wort in it. The bricks picked up and supported the weight. I now use cinder blocks positioned around it to support the pot and make sure it is up off the burner. Just be careful. If you're worried, get some extra support and set your mind at ease.

as with all these cordless type kettles, the heating element on the bottom of the pot is steel so it has some heft. i have not weighted mine but that seems a reasonable guess of 3 lbs. the base the kettle sits on is mostly plastic wxcept for the induction element in the center of the unit. the base weighs nearly nothing, just ounces. most of the weight is in the bottom of the kettle itself.

Maximun 1.7 liters; this is a wonderful kettle, heats up very quickly with auto shut off; attractive as well.

Based on a sample of one scale that I recently bought, it's within 2%, or so. I weighed 5 US gallons of tap water at 70°F. The water plus bottle should have weighed 43.5 lb and the scale registered 44, a little over 1% high. The reading repeated to within one pound by removing the weight and re-applying it to the scale.

I didn't find it heavy. 14.1 oz = less than a pound... it sure weights more than that though
