For most steel kettles, you just have to pour what you think you need into the pot and hope for the best. With the DK-17, however, an extra large viewing window lets you know precisely how much water you have, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough. Also, if you’re the type of person that likes to see when things are done, the window lets you watch your water boil, so you know it’s ready before the light turns off.
1.7 Liter Capacity
If you are making hot water for the office, or just have a big family, then you need a pot that can hold a sufficient amount of water. The DK-17 has you covered with a huge 1.7-liter pot, so you can pour up to six glasses of tea or make four Cup of Noodles with just one round of water. Also, since the kettle is designed to heat up to 1.7 liters quickly, if you want less than that, you’ll get your water that much faster, since it won’t have as much to heat up.
Cordless Base
When pouring your hot water, you don’t want to set it down on just any surface. Although the DK-17 is safe to handle, it can still radiate heat, so it’s important that you return it to its base when not in use. What makes the base even better is the fact that it allows you to pour from anywhere, since you aren’t tied down with a cord.

Yes, the window is made of plastic, as is the spout filter. However, both pieces are BPA-free and will not leach chemicals into your water.
How easy is it to clean?
Due to the handle placement, it can be hard to get a good scrubbing on the inside. The top opening is also rather small. If you need to deep clean it, I would suggest boiling a mixture of baking soda and water to remove stains.
