Good

It’s quick to heat water but cord length is very small . Sometimes u have to find a proper place to place it. It’s top is little delicate. Sometimes it comes out of spring. U need to be careful for opening and closing its lid. Otherwise it’s ok.

Somehow Amazon sucks when you want to select an electric kettle. There are no options to filter your choices based on the parameters that matter. It is easy to fall into the trap of an ongoing deal and end up buying something that falls short of what you need. In this review I will answer your questions about the PIGEON AMAZE PLUS 1.5L ELECTRIC KETTLE.

1. Can I trust the reviews for this ad? Are they genuine?
Probably yes. But know that the seller lists several types of PIGEON Kettles in the same ad. Unless the review refers to this particular model – you could well end up seeing a review of a product and buying a different one. The ratings are also an aggregated mix. There could be 10 negative review of the product you are seeing and 10 positives for the other products. The page will show you a neutral review. That’s the game sellers are playing these days – to avoid negative reviews. I have posted a picture of the stove I am referring to in this review.

2. WATTAGE: Important because this tells how quickly the water will heat up. This one is 1500W – meaning that you can switch it on … brush your teeth and find the water is boiled. Great time saving !! My earlier one was 900W and it used to take 10-15 minutes of patient waiting. The gas stove boiled water faster. This one takes about 3-4 mins to heat 2 mugs of coffee

3. CABLE LENGTH: Most of these kettle makers skimp on the cable length. I have purchased kettles to find they have only a 2-foot long cable … and I had to return them. This one has cable length of 22″ (slightly more than one meter) – which is allows a comfortable distance between the kettle and the plug.

4. CONNECTOR: This one uses a 6A plug – which is most common in India. Be careful because from >1500W onwards, most kettles use a 16A plug and that is not always available at the place where you want to place the kettle. Strictly speaking, it should have a 16A plug, but then this is kept on for short intervals only.

5. CAPACITY: 1.7 litres as mentioned – though I could not see markings for max and min levels. This is good enough to make 4-5 decent sized mugs of coffee

6. COOKING OTHER STUFF: The ad says only water – but I see no reason why you cannot heat Maggi etc. Maybe you can. But avoid milk as the expanding effect will cause spills and this can have adverse effects.

7. LOOKS: Quite okay for the price. It will not make your kitchen look bad – and neither will it enhance the looks. This is the most common look that an electric kettle can have.

8. PERFORMANCE: I have used for 2 days only. No complaints so far. There is a 1-year guarantee card accompanying the product

9. HANDLE: Very convenient feel when you lift it it from the heating cradle. Does not feel very heavy even if there is a full 1.7L of water.

10. NEGATIVES: This is a steel jug. The outside will automatically heat up. If you are used to a plastic outside in your previous kettle, you need to be a little careful.

VERDICT – “BUY”
(at the time of writing this review, this costs less than Rs 700. I have seen that sellers tend to inflate prices as they get my positive reviews – therefore I am also mentioning the price range based on which I gave this product a 5 star review)
