The Proctor Silex Electric Kettle is a basic 1.0 L corded kettle with a 1000-watt element, auto-shutoff at boil and boil-dry protection. It has dual water-level windows, an illuminated on/off switch and a detachable cord so you can carry it to the table. It is a simple, low-cost way to boil water for tea, cocoa or a French press, but it is slower and plainer than 1500-watt variable-temperature kettles from brands like Cuisinart or OXO. Owners like the safety shutoff and easy filling; some find the plastic build and lack of temperature control limiting.

The Proctor Silex Electric Kettle is a 1.0 L electric kettle with a black finish. It has 1000 watts of power and is used to boil water for tea, hot cocoa, French press coffee, and recipes.
The kettle shuts off automatically when the water reaches a boil. Boil-dry protection prevents scorching. An illuminated on/off switch shows when the kettle is in operation, and dual water windows make it easy to see the water level while filling.
The cord detaches from the kettle, so the hot water can be carried to a table or serving area.
