Okay, confession time: I’m a tea addict. Seriously, I think I run on Earl Grey and the occasional matcha latte. So, a good kettle is basically a lifeline in my kitchen. I recently got my hands on the SLCHJXS Electric Kettle, and let me tell you, it’s been getting a lot of use.

First off, this kettle is just plain pretty. The stainless steel is sleek and modern, but that wooden handle? It adds this lovely, almost old-fashioned touch. It just looks good sitting on my stovetop. And it feels solid, you know? Not flimsy or cheap.
But looks aren’t everything, right? A kettle’s gotta perform. And this one does. It heats up water super fast – which is a lifesaver when I’m craving that afternoon pick-me-up. I’ve used it on my gas stove mostly, but I even took it to my mom’s who has an electric one, and it worked like a charm. No fuss, no muss.
What I really dig is how versatile it is. It comes with this little tea strainer, so I can brew loose-leaf tea right in the kettle. I’m talking proper, fancy tea – not just your average tea bag! Plus, I’ve used it for everything from making pour-over coffee to heating up water for instant noodles (don’t judge!). It’s seriously a one-stop shop for hot water.
Now, a couple of things to keep in mind. If you’re eyeing the smaller, 500ml version, be aware that it doesn’t come with the tea strainer. So, if you’re a loose-leaf fanatic like me, definitely go for the 680ml. Also, don’t get too ambitious with the water level. It’s best to leave a little room at the top, otherwise, you might end up with a bit of a spill when it boils. Trust me, I learned that the hard way!
All in all, I’m seriously impressed with the SLCHJXS Electric Kettle. It’s stylish, it works like a dream, and it’s become an indispensable part of my daily routine. If you’re looking for a reliable and good-looking kettle that can handle pretty much anything you throw at it, you can’t go wrong with this one.
The Good Stuff:
- Gorgeous design – that wooden handle is a winner!
- Super-fast heating
- Works for tea, coffee, you name it
- Easy to use and clean
- Stovetop versatility
A Few Quirks:
- No tea strainer in the 500ml version
- Don’t overfill it!
My Verdict: Two thumbs up! Seriously, go get one. You won’t regret it.
