Random Question

Hi, bit of a random question for my American friends..... can you buy an electric kettle over in the U.S.???

The reason I'm asking is my brother's best friend has just moved to Chicago for a couple of years and being english, he and his wife like a nice cup of tea, but they've looked all over and couldn't find an electric kettle anywhere.

Any suggestions please?

I use Aroma brand. It's wonderful! Small, fast, and it's been working for years Very inexpensive as well!

Look at a big store such as Wal-mart or Target. But I haven't heard of such a thing, so maybe not?

I saw some at Starbucks.

Sure can. You can buy them most anywhere. I have one that I use now.... probably got it from Walmart or Target.

Yes you can, I bought mine from Macy's. You could probably find it in Wal-mart or target, I just did look.

My Grandma had one about 10 years ago. I don't know where she got it tho. But I would guess you could still find one.

I just bought one a few months back at Target. The hard part was picking one - they had quite a variety! Love it by the way.

You can buy them at Sears or Walmart... I'm sure other places but I know those two, for sure.

I have one and I'm in the states. They should just get one off of amazon.com, that's the easiest way to find anything!

I googled electric teapot. Sometimes the wording used makes a difference. Now that it's getting cold, they will be showing up more in stores.

I bought a small one years ago at WalGreens. A friend I taught with had a larger one. They'll be in the Sunday advertisements on sale VERY soon I'm sure!

You can find anything in the US.
