Single-source: only Reviewed (USA Today) yielded a verifiable hands-on write-up for this exact model. Reviewed names the Cuisinart PerfecTemp CPK-17 (PerfecTemp 1.7L) its Best Overall electric kettle, praising fast ~5-minute boils, intuitive presets and fair price, flagging only its heft. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Named Best Overall; does its job exceptionally well at a fair price; Fast boiling (~5 min for 1L from 60F tap to 212F); Intuitive controls with six preset temperatures for tea (160-212F).
Flagged: A little heavy.
Only one whitelisted tester (Engadget) offers a genuine hands-on review of the single-button Cool Touch kettle, and it's a strong endorsement. After more than a year of daily use, the reviewer measured two 8-oz cups boiling in two minutes (vs five minutes in a microwave and 5:45 on a gas stove) and praised the fully enclosed, easy-to-clean interior and dead-simple one-button control, while flagging a lid that opens only to a 70-degree angle and confusing 6-oz 'coffee cup' markings. Retailer and non-whitelisted Pro reviews were excluded. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Boils very fast — two 8-oz cups in about two minutes, versus five minutes in a microwave and 5:45 on a gas stove; Fully enclosed, fully accessible interior stays clean and easy to reach, unlike older kettles with exposed heating elements; Looks good on the counter (matte silver-gray) and operates with dead-simple one-button control.
Flagged: Lid opens only to a 70-degree angle, so the reviewer wished it opened wider to make filling and checking the water level easier; Imperial markings use 6-oz 'coffee cups' instead of 8-oz cups, which is trickier for cooking.
