Glass electric kettles are praised for fast boiling, visibility, and clean taste, with models like the Mueller Rapid Boil 1.8L and Cosori GK172-CO getting strong reviews at around $24.97. Many people love the clear borosilicate glass design for watching water boil and spotting limescale, though some report cracking or plastic odor issues after a few months.

One of the most appealing aspects of the Cosori Original Electric Glass Kettle GK172-CO is zero contact of hot water to plastic. This is due to stainless steel on the under part of the lid in addition to a completely glass carafe. The carafe itself also stands out for its large and unobstructed opening, ideal for easy cleaning and filling.
