Summary

A budget 1.5L borosilicate glass electric kettle for anyone who wants glass and a low price, with auto shut-off, boil-dry protection and a 2-year warranty. Check the boil time before you buy: the only instrumented test measured 9m40s for a full 1.5L, well off the manufacturer’s 7-minute claim.

Strengths

  • Borosilicate glass carafe and a concealed stainless steel element at a low price.
  • Auto shut-off, boil-dry protection and a 2-year warranty are rare at this price.
  • Quiet in testing at 67.5 dB, well under the 75 dB of the comparison kettle.
  • Low energy use: 150 Wh for a 1.5L boil in the instrumented test.
  • Light at 2.2 lb, with a 360° cordless base and cord storage.
  • Owners on Reddit and retailer sites report years of daily use.

Weaknesses

  • Slow to boil: 9m40s for 1.5L in the only instrumented test, against a 7-minute claim.
  • Wobbles on its base, per Shouldit’s comparison.
  • The cord is rigid and hard to wrap for storage.
  • Button placement is inconvenient, per Shouldit.
  • Sources disagree on whether the spout filter is removable.
  • No keep-warm mode or variable temperature control.

Boiling speed and power

The KG83B is rated 1100W and pulled 929W in Shouldit’s 2023 test. That test measured 9m40s to take 1.5L from 80°F to 212°F, against OVENTE’s claim of 7 minutes or less and the 7m13s of the 1500W Amazon Basics F-625C in Shouldit’s comparison. If you fill a mug rather than the full carafe the gap shrinks, but a full pot is slow next to higher-wattage glass kettles.

Noise, energy and daily use

Shouldit measured 67.5 dB at full boil and 150 Wh per 1.5L, quiet and efficient for the class. The kettle weighs 2.2 lb, sits on a 360° cordless base with cord storage, and lights a blue ring while it runs. Auto shut-off and boil-dry protection are standard, and owners on Reddit and retailer sites report years of daily use. There is no keep-warm mode or variable temperature control.

Filter, cleaning and upkeep

The spout filter is a mesh insert, and the sources disagree on whether it comes out: OVENTE calls it removable and washable, while Shouldit’s comparison says the limescale filter is not removable. Descaling is the main upkeep and there are no proprietary consumables; a 1.5L boil uses about 150 Wh of electricity. The warranty runs 2 years from purchase from an authorized retailer.

Is it worth it?

At $20 or less the KG83B is a strong buy: glass, auto shut-off, boil-dry protection and a 2-year warranty are rare at this price, and the slow boil is the tradeoff. Home Depot listed it at $15.99 and OVENTE’s own store listed the KG83 series at $23.99, with Shouldit paying $20.98 in 2023 and eBay used and open-box units around $13.99–23.49. Between $21 and $25 it is fair value next to 1500W glass kettles that boil faster, and above $25 it is weak.

Which model this is

This page covers the OVENTE KG83B, the black 1.5L variant of the KG83 series (1100W, 120V). The black US model is ASIN B00DEPGY7G. Do not confuse it with the KG83W (white), KG83P (pink), or other OVENTE lines such as KP72, KS88 and KG71S. Some listings carry specs for a French press, like a 12 oz capacity, a plunging system and a scoop; those do not describe this kettle.
