Presto 02704 review
Presto 02704 Review by Suzanne C. Henderson "SH" (TX)
This is the second tea maker - returned it due to slight arcing when unplugging. That brings me to the cord, what a pain, I would have given 5 stars for the concept but this dang cord is a pain especially when trying to rinse/clean the pot. I folded the cord and put a rubber band around it when cleaning. Very satisfied with the timer/steeper. Like the way the steeper basket clicks when taking off and putting on the lid. Have just used black/herb steeper setting so far. Very practical and inexpensive way to enjoy a good cup of tea. Did notice after rinsing out that water stayed between the heater and the pot, so it would be wise to put a paper towel in the bottom after cleaning to absorb the water and it does get hot on the bottom so I put a rubber-like pot holder underneath.
Presto 02704 Review by Aaron
I spent hours looking through the different models of electric kettles, trying to find one that could regulate the temperature at less-than-boiling. I'm also a college student, and can't spend $200 on one of the crazy PDA-E.Kettle-Fridge-TV models that seem popular. Buying a $15 kettle and sticking a thermometer in it is a hassle. All the models that automatically shut off at a desired temperature have mixed reviews about accuracy, and they're expensive.
But I didn't give up! I found the PRESTO.
Built-in thermometer? Heck yes. Built-in timer. Nice! Weighs only 2.3 lbs. and 40 oz. capacity. Awesome! Built-in tea infuser? ...Okay I'll just ignore it. No on-off switch? Unfortunate, but switches are cheap and you probably have one already. Around $30? Wonderful!
I am extremely glad I purchased this electric kettle.
The nitty-gritty:
Heats quickly. I didn't time it, since I never need boiled water. It's fast.
There is NO weird taste. The water you use (tap water from location X, bottled water from brand Y, filtered water by process Z) has more of an effect on taste than this kettle does. Which is none.
The thermometer is accurate. I tested it with an independent analog thermometer, and the kettle's one lagged a few (3-5) degrees behind, but caught up when you shut off the power. I think the needle on my kettle was just slow. You get used to it, and it is SO CONVENIENT when I go back for second, third, fourth steepings and need to raise the temperature by a few degrees.
The timer only has intervals of one minute, but I don't find that as annoying as some reviewers do. I can count to 30 if I need to. If you can't, you can set it to one minute and it will count down while displaying the seconds. The beeps from the timer are LOUD, which is nice. No forgetting about your tea.
The kettle is VERY EASY to pour. Because it's round and squat, made from plastic, and has a good spout. No more picking up a bulky stainless steel model that weighs ten pounds and having a gallon of water explode out of the top.
The cord is short (2ft.), so, if you're in a dorm/office like me, keep that in mind. Also, no on/off. Use the timer or learn how your water sounds at certain temperatures unless you want to wait for boiling water to cool every time.
Presto 02704 Review by Scott N. Mohler (Daniel Island, SC, United States)
Lacks markings for measuring correct amount of water to brew tea. Requires two cups of water for thermometer to work accurately. Has no spout stopper, so heat escapes readily from kettle once unplugged. No whistle or on/off switch. Timer for brewing works but the chime that sounds when timer runs down stopped working on mine after about a month.
