The Elite Gourmet EKT1220M is a 1.2 L stainless steel kettle in mint, priced at $40.99 with a 4.5-star rating across 3,100 reviews. It hits a mid-range sweet spot between the tiny compact kettles and full 1.7 to 1.8 L models.
One- to two-person households who want a medium-capacity kettle with a glass finish aesthetic and a pop of color. The mint finish makes it a counter statement piece without the premium price of designer brands.
Skip if
Skip it if you regularly brew for more than two people, 1.2 L is enough for three to four standard mugs but falls short of the 1.7 L household standard. Also pass if you need temperature presets; wattage is not listed and no temperature features are specified.

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 Elite Gourmet EKT1220M sits in an unusual spot among stainless steel kettles: it has a glass finish applied to what is otherwise a stainless steel body, giving it a different visual texture from the typical brushed or polished stainless options. The mint color is its biggest differentiator, most kettles in this price range come in black, silver, or white.
At 1.2 L, it is deliberately mid-capacity. That volume is practical for a solo drinker who wants more than one mug's worth without having to refill, or for two people making smaller pours. The 3.34 lb weight is on the heavier end for a 1.2 L model, which could be a factor when pouring a full load.
Wattage is not published in the available spec data, which is an information gap at a $40.99 price point. The 4.5-star rating across 3,100 reviews indicates consistent buyer satisfaction, and the distinctive mint color accounts for a significant share of purchase motivation based on what this type of product attracts.
