Pros & Cons of Prestige Electric Kettle

Pros

Quick Boiling: Prestige Electric Kettle heats the water almost instantly in less than a minute and that is a very amazing thing for a Kettle to do. Boiling the water will take a bit more than a minute.

Metal Inside & Outside: The Kettle has stainless steel in the inside and also on the outside, other than the base.

Easy Cleaning: The cap of the product can be opened almost 180 degree which is quite easy for cleaning. However, I would recommend a brush which we use for flask cleaning to be effective.

Sufficient Cord Length: The length of the cord is not long enough but is sufficient for use. Since it is a plate-based system, we can easily pull off the Kettle to pour the water, thus making it portable.

Cons

Heats a Lot: The body of the product heats a lot and you can literally hurt yourself if you put your hand on the body. Even the plastic handle seems to be bear heat and hence caution is advised.

Button Issue: The button issue may come as it falls numerous times. It may get damaged and it may not give you the feel of off/on and is irritating at times. So take care while using it.

Cleaning Regularly is Must: It is highly recommended to clean and then dry the product. If the product is not kept clean, it will give such a stinking smell that you will literally throw up and won’t put anything inside it ever. 

Auto Cut-off Malfunctions: The auto cut-off in case of reaching a temperature limit is highly faulty and malfunctions a lot. It is not an issue if you pay heed to it as you will easily get an idea of how long you need to reach the desired water temperature.

Conclusions

To prepare tea, coffee or any other instant beverages or snacks that you like are easy. Even if you travel a lot, you can easily take the electric kettle with you to prepare some kind of snacks or beverages.
