The Mueller KX-111 Electric Kettle is a fast compact kettle with a hard-to-read gauge, best for small kitchens and offices. Rated 4.5 out of 5 across 1,522 user ratings. The main drawback: water level gauge in the handle is hard to read. We scored it 4.5 out of 5.
Despite the ExacTemp name, the Mueller KX-111 is a straightforward boil-only kettle: quick, light and neatly designed, but its body is plastic throughout and its water gauge is hard to read, which matters more day to day than the lack of temperature settings.
NoFussDeal rates the Mueller KX-111 Electric Kettle 4.5 out of 5 at $24.00. Last updated September 26, 2026.
A 1500W concealed element heats up to 1.7 litres, with a boil time that depends on how much water you use.
There are no temperature settings: an illuminated toggle switch starts the boil and the kettle switches itself off once the water is fully boiling.
The body is heat-resistant, BPA-free Tritan copolyester, with a stay-cool, non-slip handle and an open button for the lid.
The kettle lifts off a 360-degree base for cordless pouring, with automatic shut-off and boil-dry protection built in.

Set the base on a dry, level counter and route the stiff cord so it does not lift the base. Avoid sharing the outlet with other high-draw appliances.
Fill with fresh water, boil, and discard. Repeat once to clear any residue or plastic smell.
Press the open button, fill to no more than 1.7 litres, and check the gauge in the handle by tilting the kettle or holding it to the light.
Set the kettle on the base and flip the toggle; it lights blue while heating and clicks off shortly after a full boil.
Yes: we score it 4.5 out of 5. It has no temperature settings, the gauge in the handle is hard to see, and the all-plastic body will not suit everyone.
Rated 4.5 out of 5 across 1,522 user ratings, with 73% giving it five stars and 4% one star.
Water level gauge in the handle is hard to read. Body is plastic throughout, which some buyers dislike.
Descale the element plate when deposits appear, then boil and discard fresh water. Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth.
With no temperature settings, let boiled water rest for a minute or two before brewing green or white tea.
The Mueller KX-111 boils quickly, pours cleanly and fits neatly on a crowded counter thanks to its square, spout-free shape. It has no temperature settings, the gauge in the handle is hard to see, and the all-plastic body will not suit everyone.
A sensible, quick kettle for everyday tea, instant coffee and cooking water, with a design that saves counter space. If you want water heated in glass or steel, or precise temperatures for specialty brewing, look at a different model.
