The listing shows the same 49,731-rating count as Cosori's temperature-control glass kettle (B08BFMV68M), so ratings appear pooled across variants.

A cheap, very popular glass boil-only kettle that experts call a solid no-frills option. Amazon owners often report it dying within months, and its light base can tip.
