The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Brentwood KT-1900R brings 1.7L of capacity in a borosilicate glass body, more volume than the 1.5L KT-1780 stainless sibling, and the glass construction adds visual appeal. The tempered glass finish listed in specs suggests additional durability treatment, which is relevant for a glass vessel handling repeated high-temperature cycles.
At 1100W, boil speed is modest but functional. The compact listed dimensions of 5 x 5 x 6 inches are unusually small for a 1.7L kettle, worth double-checking if you need a precise fit. The red color is the defining aesthetic choice here; it adds personality in a category dominated by stainless and black.
At $30.99 it's priced reasonably. The thin review base of 314 ratings means there's less accumulated feedback to draw on, but the 4.5 score among those who reviewed it is strong. No monthly purchase data was reported, suggesting it sells slowly or inconsistently.
Pros
1.7L capacity is large enough for multiple cups per fill
Borosilicate glass body with tempered glass finish for durability
Red color option adds visual personality
4.5 rating among reviewers is strong
Cons
Only 314 reviews, limited track record compared to competing kettles
1100W is slower to boil than 1500W options
Listed dimensions seem unusually compact for a 1.7L vessel, worth verifying
Performance notes
1100W powering 1.7L is on the lower end of efficiency for this volume, expect boil times to be slower than 1500W alternatives. Borosilicate glass with a tempered finish handles thermal cycling well. No weight is listed in specs.
What buyers say
With only 314 reviews, the 4.5 rating is encouraging but represents a narrower sample than most category leaders. Those who bought it appear genuinely satisfied, but the thin review pool means there's less certainty about long-term durability patterns.
