Bear YSH-C18S2 Health Pot, Electric Kettle Tea Maker with Infuser, Glass Kettle & Stew Pot, 16 Menus 1.8L 120V, Green

Use it every day!

I love this appliance. It’s versatile. I’ve made loose leaf tea with the glass strainer insert; boiled eggs; reheated soup with the glass stew pot insert; and made hot water for tea, coffee and noodles. As an American I had a learning curve with centigrade to fahrenheit (you can’t change this setting) but that wasn’t a deal breaker for me. There are more presets than I’ll ever use. Bird’s nest soup anyone? 😂 I love the aesthetic and the performance is flawless. Highly recommend!

Ease of use and clean. It did just what I wanted.

I love this kettle SO MUCH but dropped it yesterday (it shattered). I heartbroken and hope to find a replacement kettle soon (the base is completely fine)

This kettle is not working in less than 2 months' of use.

I bought this unit to replace a three year-old Buydeem kettle I had used nearly everyday but was beginning to burst a leak somehow around its handle. Otherwise, that kettle still worked. The Bear kettle I am reviewing here was less-expensive than Buydeem and shipped faster, plus after the Buydeem one developed a leak after three years, I wasn't sure I wanted to entrust them for another kettle this time around. The Bear kettle feels a little less quality than the Buydeem—not horribly, overall it's well-made, but the lid parts feel a bit cheap. The glass pitcher is alright I guess and the stand is solid and has a wider variety of presets than the Buydeem did, most geared towards Chinese medicinal or traditional cooking. If you're just looking to make Western-style hot tea, only a couple of these settings will be necessary. However, if you plan on doing things like sour plum soup or tremella soup, it has settings for those. The downside of this has been that even if you don't quite fill the water to the top fill-line on the pitcher, it can boil over—as in out of the spout—especially if you are making a tea with things like mint leaves in it which bounces around during the boil. Twice it has boiled over, I guess I will just not fill it up as far but the Buydeem did not have that problem (though again, it has sprung a leak). So would I recommend this kettle? So far, overall yes especially if you need one able to do the Chinese medicinal and soup functions. And since the base is covered with glass, if it does boil over, at least it's easy to clean. The Buydeem's base and kettle alike were much more difficult to clean.

After 6 months, the kettle is not heating up somehow. I am contacting the seller for support.

So happy with all the things this kettle lets me cook easily❣️ Yogurt, creme brulee, soup-- no problem! The only thing I wish for is that the glass kettle detached from the electronics for ease of cleaning.
