FOHERE Electric Tea Kettle, 9 Temperature Presets Glass, Removable Infuser, 1.7L Review (2026)

Who this kettle suits

This FOHERE kettle is built for people who steep several different tea types regularly and want the kettle itself to handle the temperature guesswork. It ranks third of seven in a guide to variable temperature kettles, close behind two rivals with the same overall score, which reflects that all three are capable options rather than one being clearly ahead. The nine preset temperatures, labeled for categories like delicate, green, white, oolong, coffee and black, suit someone who wants precise steps rather than a handful of rough settings. Because the body is glass rather than opaque plastic or steel, it also appeals to anyone who likes watching the water heat and seeing the tea infuse, which plain metal kettles hide from view.

What the specs mean day to day

The kettle runs at 1200 watts and holds 1.7 liters, boiling a full kettle in roughly three to seven minutes depending on the target temperature. Nine preset settings span 140 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit with claimed accuracy within one degree, shown on an LCD display rather than a single indicator light, so you can read the exact number rather than inferring it from a color. A keep warm function starts automatically for ten minutes after brewing and can be extended up to two hours if you want water to stay hot longer. The 1.7 liter borosilicate glass body sits on a stainless steel base, and the removable infuser basket lifts out for loose leaf or bagged tea, leaving the kettle free to use as a plain water boiler when the infuser is not needed.

Living with the glass body and infuser

Because the kettle is glass, tea stains and mineral deposits are more visible here than they would be in a stainless steel kettle, which is useful for knowing when to clean but also means the kettle can look dingy faster if neglected. The manufacturer's own product page recommends baking soda and a washcloth for tea stains and mineral deposits, which is a gentler approach than harsh descaling chemicals. The removable top makes reaching the interior for cleaning straightforward compared with kettles that only open at a narrow spout. Daily use with the infuser means a quick rinse after each brew keeps residue from one tea type from carrying over into the next cup, particularly important if you switch between strongly flavored teas like oolong and delicate green tea.

How it stacks up against rivals

Against the Aigostar kettle at the top of the same guide, FOHERE offers nearly double the preset count, nine against five, at the cost of a glass body that some buyers find less durable feeling than Aigostar's more basic housing. Against the GoveeLife kettle in second place, FOHERE skips the app and voice control layer but answers with more granular temperature steps and a visible LCD readout instead of relying on a phone screen. All three kettles carry the same overall score in this guide, so the choice largely comes down to whether app control, simplicity, or temperature precision matters most to a given household.

Verdict and who should look elsewhere

For tea drinkers who want the widest range of built-in temperature presets in this group of kettles, FOHERE is the strongest match, backed by our score of 8.6 out of 10 for its feature set and price point. Buyers who prioritize brand reputation and long-term durability over preset count may lean toward Aigostar instead, and anyone who wants remote app control should look at the GoveeLife kettle in the same guide. Households that mostly boil plain water and rarely use presets at all will find any of the three more kettle than they strictly need.
