DEZIN Electric Kettle 8856 Review Best Stainless Steel Tea Kettle for Rapid Boil

Description

Experience with the DEZIN Electric Kettle Temperature Control

Testing the DEZIN Electric Kettle Temperature Control, 1.7L Stainless Steel Electric Tea Kettle with LED Display, I immediately noticed its sleek black stainless steel design. It felt sturdy yet lightweight, weighing just under 3 pounds. My first impression? It’s a modern, minimalist piece that doesn’t scream for attention but still feels premium enough to display on the counter.

Design and Build Quality

The stainless steel interior was a huge win for me as someone who’s trying to avoid plastic coming into contact with boiling water. The double-wall construction is not just for show—it genuinely keeps the exterior cool to the touch. I tested this by boiling water and casually placing my hand on the outside; no burns, no discomfort. For someone with curious kids running around, this is a game-changer in safety. And while I appreciated the painted finish, I did wonder how it would hold up over time with frequent use and cleaning.

Key Benefits

• 9 preset temperatures ranging from 115°F to 195°F, perfect for everything from delicate green teas to full-bodied black coffee.
• Rapid boiling in 5-7 minutes, which saved me time during busy mornings.
• 12-hour keep-warm function, an absolute must for anyone who sips tea or coffee throughout the day.
• Automatic shut-off and boil-dry protection, keeping safety concerns at bay.

User-Friendly Features

The LED digital display is as straightforward as they come. I didn’t even need to consult the manual to figure out how to adjust the temperature or activate the keep-warm feature. A quick tap of the “SET TEMP” button allowed me to customize the water temperature. Then there’s the memory function, which I found surprisingly handy. If I set it to 175°F for my green tea once, it remembered that preference the next time I powered it on.

However, there’s a slight learning curve with the “BOIL STOP” button, especially if you’re multitasking. Once I figured out how to use it in tandem with the temperature presets, it became second nature.

Drawbacks

• The painted exterior, while stylish, might be prone to scratches if handled roughly or over-cleaned.
• It lacks a water-level window, so I had to open the lid to check the amount inside.
• The 1200W power is sufficient but might feel underwhelming compared to higher-wattage models, especially if you’re used to ultra-fast kettles.

Performance and Versatility

I tested the kettle with a variety of beverages: green tea, white tea, instant coffee, and even for boiling water for oatmeal. The ability to increment temperature by 10°F was a game-changer for tea enthusiasts like me. No more scalding delicate leaves or waiting forever for boiling water to cool down.

The kettle’s 1.7-liter capacity was more than enough for my family of four. Whether it was a solo tea session or making hot drinks for guests, the kettle handled it all without requiring multiple refills.

Competing Products

Comparing this kettle to the COSORI Electric Gooseneck Kettle, I found that while the DEZIN model offers more temperature presets, the COSORI excels in pouring precision thanks to its gooseneck spout. If you’re into pour-over coffee, the COSORI might be a better choice. On the flip side, the DEZIN kettle’s keep-warm function and dual-wall safety design felt more family-friendly.

Against the Hamilton Beach Electric Kettle, the DEZIN stood out for its stainless steel interior. The Hamilton Beach models often include plastic components that touch the water, which feels like a step back in quality. However, Hamilton Beach does offer a visible water-level indicator, which I missed here.

Affordable Quality

In terms of value for money, this kettle offers a lot for what it is. The 9 temperature settings, safety features, and rapid boiling make it worth considering over standard kettles. While it might not be the cheapest option, the combination of features and build quality justifies the price.

This isn’t just a kettle; it’s a multi-functional appliance for anyone serious about their hot beverages. If you’re someone who drinks tea or coffee regularly, the DEZIN Electric Kettle could easily become your favorite kitchen companion. However, if you’re a casual user, some of the advanced features might feel excessive.
