How does it sound to be bring 1 cup of cold water to a rolling boil in just about one minute? How about 7 cups to a boil in five minutes? This is accomplished by 1750 watts of electric power that allows this high-speed T Fal Vitesse 1.7L Electric Kettle to boil water for your favorite instant coffee, tea, tasty hot chocolate and soups in record time. To ensure that the water doesn’t boil away, the T Fal cordless electric kettle unit is smart enough to shut off automatically once the water achieves a full boil. Another convenient feature is the corded power base that allows cordless pouring which makes it easy to serve friends and family at fun gathering.
The exterior is a hard, gleaming plastic that thankfully cleans up quite easily. The kettle is nicely plump and features a clear water level window on both sides, so no matter if your right and left handed you get a clear visual indicator. To round off the many features this T Fal electric tea kettle has, the cord will wind up inside the dock which hides the cord when not boiling water. Now you can enjoy your favorite hot beverages within 5 minutes or even quicker with less than 7 cups needed!

Get The Scoop On The T Fal BF6520004 Vitesse 1.7L Electric Kettle
Customer reviews are a great way to research a product and find out if it truly delivers. Here are a few reviews from owners of the T Fal BF6520004 Vitesse 1.7L Electric Kettle.
I spent hours researching every electric kettle available (and looking at them in person, in stores) before settling on this one. I’ve owned it for about 6 months now, and it’s been great. The concealed heating element and the simple one-piece plastic jug design make it very easy to clean (not that I’ve needed to) and leak resistant (I assume, from a design perspective, since mine has no leaks yet). The only way it could leak is if the grommet sealing the metal bottom piece to the plastic jug developed a leak, whereas most of the stainless steel kettles being sold have several parts, many seams, and thus many places a leak could develop. There is some mild browning of the plastic inside the jug, I suppose a reaction to the high heat. This same thing happened with my roommate’s older plastic electric kettle, so it’s to be expected.
I can’t imagine anyone not loving this electric kettle. My first one was a gift, received about 5 years ago. It’s used numerous times every day and still brings water to a boil as fast as it did for that first cup of tea. The microwave and stove lose the race to the T-Fal. Once the water is at the boiling point for about 15 seconds the kettle turns off automatically. That safety feature rates high on my list of kudos for this product. The handle is extremely comfortable, the pot is easy to fill and pour. We always take our T-Fal Electric Kettle with us when we travel(we have a 4 cup version as well as a 7 cup, I’m sorry they no longer make the small one). I’ve only been able to find them on line but believe me I never want to be without one.
