Description
Italian-made and sleek in structure, the DeLonghi Metropolis electric teakettle boils water in mere minutes. Better still, the powerful 1500-watt heating element is concealed in a flat disk base that allows for 360-degree rotation and easy cordless serving. Crafted with a stainless-steel interior, the kettle rests comfortably on the base and turns on with a simple plastic depressor button. For safety, a three-way system guards against overheating and boiling dry--it shuts off the kettle automatically if you lift it, if the water boils, or if it is empty. DeLonghi also includes a washable screen filter to keep impurities and deposits out of your tea. Arced and rounded, the kettle's handle is comfortable, and the spout is sharply turned to prevent drips and splashes. A clear water level indicator shows minimum, maximum, and liter markings. Fashionably finished in graphite with chrome and black accents, the kettle is a handsome countertop staple. The on/off button could be a bit more durable, but its use is simple and straightforward. Resting on its 8-inch base, the kettle stands 10 inches high and holds 58 ounces or 1.7 liters. It includes tidy power cord storage, a power indicator light, and a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
