Our review

COSORI's CO117 pairs a clear borosilicate glass body with a 304 stainless-steel lid, filter, and base, so the water touches glass and steel instead of plastic. It holds 1.7 liters (about seven cups) behind measurement marks and runs on 1500 watts. Six one-touch temperature presets cover tea and coffee, a keep-warm mode holds the temperature for up to an hour, and auto shut-off and boil-dry protection are built in. Two LEDs glow blue while heating and white in keep-warm.

Owners like the wide mouth for filling and cleaning, the drip-free spout, and the quick heat-up — the listing says three to seven minutes depending on how much water you boil.

Durability is the big caveat: several owners say their kettle quit after about four months. Opinions on the auto shut-off and on holding temperature are also split, and a few buyers call it loud while heating. It is a strong feature set for the money, but treat it as a kettle you may need to return or replace.

  • Households that want a full-size 1.7 L kettle at a mid-range price
  • Buyers who want water to avoid plastic contact

The verdict

The best all-round electric kettle for most kitchens: presets, a big tank, and a modest price. Buy it with the return window in mind given the durability reports, or choose the Hamilton Beach if you only need boiling water.
