When the water started boiling, the kettle wobbled perilously, which is a pretty significant safety hazard. It's no surprise if you need help with choosing an electric kettle. In fact, I test appliances for a living and I’m surprised electric kettles aren’t more popular in the U.S. So, these appliances are a learning curve for most.

If you use vinegar, heat a solution of half vinegar and half water in your kettle. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it sit for at least a half-hour before dumping it out and rinsing the kettle thoroughly. What some customers can experience is a build up of static around the chute which can cause grinds to get caught and possibly leave a mess a few minutes later.
