Korting KWK 0905 Polar Electric Kettle Reviews
I’ve had the Korting KWK 0905 Polar electric kettle on my counter for a few weeks, and it’s exactly what you want – no‑fuss, fast hot water. The cordless base lets me lift it off the dock, the handle feels solid, and pouring is a breeze. It’s built tough enough to survive everyday use without a hiccup.

Good Electric Kettle. Perfect for Modern Options
SummaryA good electric kettle that heats water quickly and maintains temperature well, but lacks a water level indicator and has some issues with the pouring spout design.
We decided to buy a new kettle almost immediately when the old one started malfunctioning. It would turn on occasionally, looked worn out, and we really needed an upgrade. We weren't looking for anything special, just a kettle that would perform its basic functions. I chose this one mainly because of its design and features.
The kettle has a minimalist design that doesn't look cheap. The plastic is dense and of good quality, and it doesn't have any unpleasant odors. It's clear that the product was assembled properly.
It heats water quickly, which is especially valuable in the morning when time is scarce. It maintains the temperature well, too. After 10-15 minutes of boiling, the water is still just as hot. This is not a minor detail, as I've heard that re-heating boiled water is not recommended, as it loses its beneficial properties. Although, I've also heard that it loses those properties after the first boil.
The most noticeable drawback is the lack of water level indicator. Yes, you can open the lid and check, but it would be better if there was a way to avoid constantly opening the lid. As a result, I often end up adding way too much water or not enough.
The pouring spout design is something that can be improved. If you pour carefully and slowly, everything is fine, and the water flows through the spout as it should. However, if you tilt the kettle slightly, the water starts flowing not only through the spout but also under the lid. You get used to it, but it's still a problem. I don't understand why the manufacturers didn't consider this.
Overall, it's a good, practical option for everyday use. I really hope it will last a long time.
