Chef’sChoice®-International, Cordless Electric Kettle #678: Our largest kettle, the 2 quart capacity M678 boils water faster than a microwave for convenient preparation of tea, coffee, hot chocolate or instant soup. The powerful 1500 watt heating element is hidden beneath the stainless floor of the unit, so it's never in contact with water, eliminating build-up of mineral deposits on it and allowing for easy clean-up. The exterior water level gage makes measuring easy and the revolutionary cordless design allows the kettle to be lifted from its base for convenient filling and serving. The lid, body and base of this handsome kettle are constructed of high-quality brushed stainless steel, combining beauty with durability, while the automatic shut-off, double boil-dry safety shut-off and lid-lock features guarantee safe use and years of service. Conforms to UL Standards. One year warranty
