I purchased this kettle, and it turns out this is a "Brentwood" What makes it different than the other brentwood 1.5 liter kettle?

Yes, I ordered the Royal 1.5 Liter stainless steel kettle, however I rec'd the Brentwood, I did a search online, it seems the company is now Brentwood, a buyout I suppose. There isn't a difference, just in the name change.

I only used the kettle once and it was on my electric stove. Alas, the whistle didn't work so I returned it and went with the trusty Paula Deen kettle.

This kettle is the same min at 1 liter, but I've successfully heated just enough for a single cup with (at least for the few years I've owned it) no damage to it that I can see. It will attempt to heat it with any amount of water.

This is a problem for lovers of expensive tea. Measure the temperature of the boiling water inside the kettle, then pour it and measure what you've poured. It must be that long gooseneck spout that knocks the temp down far enough that tea doesn't yield all the flavor it could. Loved everything about the kettle, but this factor is a dealbreaker for serious tea drinkers.

Outrageous that this should be called a TRAVEL KETTLE!!! This is misrepresentation. If this is not changed, I'm filing a complaint against seller who listed this to the Federal Trade Commission and Atty Gen Consumer Fraud dept. CHANGE THE LISTING OR FACE FALSE ADVERTISING CHARGES!

Dear Sir, Have you found a solution to the order/taste problem with your electric kettle? I need one and had decided on this model but now I'm not so confident.Thank you for any feedback you could give me.Roben

The trouble is that the temperature setting cannot account for how much water is in the kettle. So the lower settings will produce a different result with different amounts of water. I found this annoying, and, in fact, the reason I returned the product.

No - this kettle is amazing. I really don't know how I lived without one for so long. And their customer service is tiptop.

I don't have the kettle any longer so I cannot answer your question. (Family member left it on stove.) :-( However, I did like the kettle and felt it the price was good.

I did not use this kettle. At the same time that I ordered this kettle, I saw another one that I liked better and ordered that one. I returned this one without using it.

The imprint on the underside of my kettle says: "Kalita. 1.0L. 18 stainless steel. Made in Japan."

Thank you so much for posting about the Hamilton Beach CoolTouch kettle, C. Simpson! I've been looking all over for an acceptable one, and that's the best I've found too. Very frustrating. Thanks for taking the time to share your find.

I just went to Target looking for an electric kettle and NONE of the 3 brands had info on what the inside is made of. I am also not going to buy a product made of plastic that I am boiling drining water in on a daily basis.

P.S. if you buy the accessory flow restrictor from Bonavita, those are plastic and sit in the base of the gooseneck inside the kettle.

I wish an adaptor was available. I returned my kettle. I do own an older model that was made for use in the USA. I was able to get it repaired. It is the best!

I dont know what the difference is, but I just love my kettle. If I dropped it right this minute, I'd be online buying a new one. We use it for everything-no complaints and you can't beat the price. A little kitchen work horse!

I didn't measure it after I saw the other response. I would describe it as short. Another thing that I found surprising, is it brings the water to a boil, and then turns off. Maybe this is common in electric kettles; I haven't had one before now.
