Product review: Ulalov Gooseneck Electric Kettle with Temperature Control

 

 I have a fairly small place allocated for the tea kettle and was worried that this kettle might be too large because of the platform and long spout. Turns out the kettle is small and fit nicely into the nook where the old kettle lived.

The heating platform is 8.5" x 6.5".
The kettle is 9" high (not counting the knob on the cap)
The width of the kettle (from the spout tip to the handle outer edge) is 10.5."
The kettle holds three 8 oz mugs of water. 24 oz fills it to the max line.

The electric cord is short, only 27.5", and I have to use an extension cord.

The thin long gooseneck spout works well; the stream it produces is not too weak, and it is easy to aim.

I like being able to control the temperature. A "keep warm" feature is nice. The kettle is stainless steel. The only way you can tell if the water is boiling is by looking at the temperature, which shows exactly what the water temperature is as the water warms up. The kettle automatically shuts off at the temperature I selected. When it reaches the temperature, it beeps (beeping can be muted). To start heating, you need to press the same button you rotate to change the temperature. If you want to turn off the plate, you need to hold down the same button for a few seconds until the display turns off.

The handle is well balanced. The cover sits firmly inside the kettle, and you don't need to hold it when you pour. The stock photo showed a person holding the cap as the water was poured, and I wondered if the cap was loose. It is not.

Negatives? The way the kettle was shipped. It arrived without an outer box. The package was beaten up by the post office, and the ugly shipping label cannot be removed. I always keep boxes for appliances, and I was annoyed that this box was in such bad shape. No shipping box is just not appropriate for a 70-100 dollar kettle. It was pure luck that the dent was not where the thin spout was located within the box, or it would have been bent!
