The Elite Gourmet EKT1001 is a 1.0L glass-and-stainless kettle that costs $21.59 and has earned over 17,000 ratings at 4.5 stars, an unusually strong track record for a kettle under $25. Its compact size and glass body make it practical for solo users who want to monitor the water as it heats.
Solo coffee or tea drinkers who want a small, lightweight kettle with a visible glass body and don't need temperature presets. With 1,001 units sold last month, it clearly resonates with buyers looking for a simple, inexpensive daily driver.
Skip if
Not the right pick if you regularly brew for two or more people, 1.0L fills only two to three mugs. Also skip if you need variable temperature or a gooseneck spout.

Overview
At 1.0L, the EKT1001 is a compact option that heats only what you need, which matters if you make one or two cups at a time and don't want to wait for a larger kettle to boil. The glass-and-stainless construction gives you a clear view of the water level and the boiling process without the plastic taste risk some buyers worry about with all-plastic bodies.
The price is among the lowest in the glass kettle segment. At $21.59, it undercuts many similar-looking kettles by several dollars. The wattage is not specified in the listing data, so boil speed relative to higher-wattage competitors is uncertain, though buyers in the 17,200-review pool show consistent satisfaction, suggesting acceptable real-world performance.
The matte black and glass finish with stainless steel accents gives it a cleaner appearance than many budget glass kettles. Dimensions of 8.94 x 7.6 x 9.72 in put it on the taller side for a 1L model, so check your cabinet clearance.

What buyers say
With 17,200 reviews at 4.5 stars and 1,001 purchases last month, buyer sentiment is clearly positive. High volume at this price suggests most buyers find it meets expectations for basic daily boiling. The combination of glass body and low cost appears to be the primary driver of satisfaction.

About two to three standard 12-oz mugs or roughly four 8-oz teacups, depending on how full you fill each.
Is the glass body durable?
The listing uses glass and stainless steel construction. Glass kettles can crack if exposed to sudden temperature changes, avoid filling with cold water immediately after a hot boil cycle.
Does it auto shut off?
Yes, electric kettles at this price point include automatic shutoff when water reaches boiling, though the exact mechanism should be confirmed in the product manual.
