Easy to use, quick to heat
This is a great kettle. It is easy to use, quick to boil water and it has all the different settings. I like that the base for the kettle is flush with the edge of the kettle. It doesn’t stick out like our previous kettle.

Stylish and practical.
Best kettle for making French Press coffee, it has temperature controlled buttons, making it easy to have the perfect coffee every time. Also the right temperature for teas too.

PerfecTemp
This is my second PerfecTemp. The first one plain and simple wore out after a couple of years. Worth every penny spent.

Options!
I am really enjoying this electric kettle. I like the accuracy. Using a stove top kettle was a little more difficult to get the water temp just right for green tea.

Cuisinart Perfect Temp Kettle
Hands down the best kettle I've ever had! The heating options are amazing. I recommend it for tea lovers, or even for other hot water needs. The keep warm feature is an added plus for that second or third cup!

Does exactly what it says!
This is the perfect kettle. The preset temperature settings are a great feature. The all stainless steel kettle makes the unit feel durable and is also easy to clean.

Cuisinart Electric kettle
There are positives and negatives to this teapot. It is made entirely of stainless steel inside and outside, which can be a positive but the outside gets very hot and is not insulated so it is possible to get a burn if not careful. The water does boil quickly to the appropriate temperatures. The ability to turn off the unit was a little challenging until I got the hang of it, as there is no dedicated off button.

We’re sorry to hear about the concerns you experienced with the teapot, as stainless steel exteriors can become hot during heating, and using the handle or protective mitts can help prevent accidental burns. We’re glad the water reaches temperature quickly. Thank you—we truly appreciate your feedback.

The best kettle for different water temp needs
We love our perfect temp cordless Cuisinart kettle. We use it daily. It is so helpful to be able to select different water temperatures. Why waste energy bringing to a boil and waiting for the water to cook when you can go straight to what you need. And it takes up a small amount of space in our tiny kitchen.

Not Like the Old One!
I bought this to replace the exact model that I’ve had for years, which I loved. This one is extremely loud (I mean extremely) and doesn’t heat the water to the desired temperature.

Works as expected
First time electric kettle user. Was a little surprised at the water heating noise, but that is normal (i mean, you want the water to get hot right?). I used both boil and the lower temps for herbal teas. I use this device about 10 times a day and no issues.

Perfect cup of tea
My husband surprised me with this electric teapot, for Christmas. Wow I got something I love i drink so much tea everyday. Besides the name Cuisinart great company all my kitchen appliances are Cuisinart. This teapot brews with consistency the perfect cup of tea. No more waiting for a traditional teapot to boil, cuisinart is quick and has a keep warm feature.

I am feeling scammed
This is the second time that I bought this kettle and both times the lid mechanism broke. A little plastic piece came loose and I found it in the bottom of the kettle. Then I noticed that the lid would not close completely. I aspect that a stainless steel kettle has a lid which does not break with normal usage, always when the warranty is just up. I would fix it if a replacement lid would be available, as the kettle otherwise looks as good as new.

Nice pot
This is a nice pot. It has several different settings for different types of tea. It heats up quickly and looks good on the counter. One negative is that the lid opening is kind of small. I can get a brush in to clean it but it's a tight fit for a hand.

Kettle failed after 5 months
We bought this kettle to replace our old electric kettle, which we use a few times a day to make tea. We were initially pretty happy with it - the side indexing is easier to read, and the lower control panel keeps your hands away from the pot except when you're actually pouring. But after less then 5 months of service it died – put the pot back on the base after pouring water, and it was completely dead. The base lights up, and you can select (say) boil, but the kettle no longer gets hot and eventually times out with a beep and shuts itself down. Note that there was enough water to cover the temperature sensor in the pot when I first put it down, so this wasn't boil-dry protection kicking in (and that's pretty obvious). No leaks that I've been able to see since it died.

Great kettle!
My old electric kettle stopped working and we needed one ASAP. After researching I decided on the Cuisinart perfect temp, and it works perfectly. It has multiple temps to choose from and a keep warm setting. You do have to apply pressure to push the buttons, it’s not touch sensitive, so sometimes we think we turned it on, but didn’t. My husband can’t hear the beeps-must be that frequency he can’t hear, but he does hear the bubbling of the boiling water. It does beep sufficiently, he just can’t hear! Easy to pour. Great purchase.

LEAKS! Don't waste your money!
LEAKS! This is the 2nd one we purchased. Water accumulates on the top of the heating base. Dry it. Water has accumulated again by the next day. We were so pleased with the operation and convenience of selecting different temperatures, we replaced the first leaky Prefect Temp Cordless Tea Pot with another one. Mistake! The first started leaking after about 18 months. The second one started leaking after 6 months!

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with your PerfecTemp® Cordless Electric Kettle, especially after previously enjoying its features and temperature control options. Water collecting on the base can sometimes occur if condensation forms or if the kettle is overfilled past the maximum line, so we recommend ensuring the lid is fully closed and avoiding filling beyond the indicated level. That said, leaking is not the experience we want for our customers, and we’d like to further review this with you. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference ticket # 8900551156 so we can assist with next steps.
