Bodum 5500-01US Ibis Cordless Electric 57-Ounce Water Kettle, Black Reviews
| 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful By Viewcliff (Sunny Seattle) - See all my reviews This review is from: Bodum 5500-01US Ibis Cordless Electric 57-Ounce Water Kettle, Black (Kitchen) This item worked fine for a few months, then the base started to overheat, getting worse after each use until finally the plastic started melting.Bodum used to be reputable and now, like all others, their products are made in China. Chinese products fills up US landfills. Appliances used to last 20, 30+ years, now about 2 years. I'd gladly pay $200 for a small appliance that would last but none exist anymore. Don't waste your money on this dangerous item. You're better off buying a $14 electric kettle. 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful This review is from: Bodum 5500-01US Ibis Cordless Electric 57-Ounce Water Kettle, Black (Kitchen) We have bought this kettle from Bodum when our smaller one stopped working (after a long life). We like the design and looks of it, but the plastic they use does not provide the quality needed. The one that my husband has in the office standing on the windowsill cracks and brakes (presumably because of the sunlight). The one at home has lost the contact between the base and the kettle about 2 months after purchase. The cheap an inadequate plastic, in which the connecting prongs are set on the bottom of the kettle, deforms from the heat and there is no way to have it connect properly without either holding the kettle while it operates, or making some other kind of an arrangement.That is the last electric product from Bodum for us. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful By PassatDoc (San Juan Capistrano, CA United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Bodum 5500-565US Ibis Cordless Electric 57-Ounce Water Kettle, Green (Kitchen) I bought my first Ibis about fifteen years ago, using a gift certificate from Crate and Barrel. The elliptical design saves counter space: orient it perpendicular or parallel to your counter, depending on space needs. Boiling is reasonably fast, though I have a newer Tefal Vitesse, the entire bottom of which is heated (rather than just a heating coil at the bottom, as the Ibis has) for faster heating through greater heating element contact. The Tefal boils in nearly half the time.Other reviewers have touched on the design's weakness: instead of a round base with a center electrical contact, the elliptical base requires that one align it just so, so as to seat the socket of the bottom of the kettle on top of the electrical contact at the front of the base. If you don't seat it properly, it won't heat. About two years ago, my original unit began to have seating issues and became very temperamental (wouldn't heat unless seating was perfect), so I bought a second... Read more |
