Govee Smart Gooseneck Electric Kettle — Wi‑Fi Variable Temperature Kettle
Product description
What’s included: the smart electric gooseneck kettle, a detachable power base, and a quick‑start guide/user manual. The unit has a 0.8 liter (approx. 4 cups) capacity and is designed for pour‑over and tea brewing applications.
Construction: interior and water‑contact components are 304 food‑grade stainless steel; the exterior features a matte finish and a balanced, counterweighted handle for steady pours. The long gooseneck spout provides a narrow, controllable stream for precision pouring.
Heating and controls: a 1200 W heating element brings 0.8 L of water to the target temperature in roughly 3–5 minutes depending on starting temperature. Temperature can be set anywhere between 104 °F and 212 °F via the onboard buttons or the companion app, and four presets are available for common brews.
Smart features: connect over 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth to use the mobile app for scheduling boils, saving custom temps, disabling the audible ready tone, and remote control. Works with compatible voice assistants for hands‑free start and stop where supported.
Keep‑warm and safety: the keep‑warm function maintains chosen temperature for up to 2 hours. An NTC temperature sensor enables automatic shutoff at the target temperature, and boil‑dry protection cuts power if the kettle runs empty.
Usage notes: rated for 120V 60Hz operation and connects only to 2.4 GHz networks (no 5G Wi‑Fi). To minimize burn risk, avoid removing or covering steam vents and heed the warning stickers on the lid and neck.
Pros
- Precise temperature control (104–212°F) with presets
- Wi‑Fi scheduling, remote start, and voice assistant support
- Gooseneck spout for controlled, pour‑over‑style pouring
Cons
- Small 0.8 L capacity limits multi‑cup brewing
- Only supports 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi and 120V 60Hz
- Pour requires a slow, deliberate hand to avoid splatter
VerdictThis smart gooseneck kettle delivers accurate temperatures, a controllable slow pour and useful connectivity for remote start and scheduling. Its 0.8 L size and controlled stream make it ideal for pour‑over coffee and delicate tea brewing. Expect fast 1200W heat-up and reliable safety features, though capacity and 2.4 GHz‑only Wi‑Fi may limit some users.

Reliable Govee Addition
As a returning Govee customer, this kettle is a nice fit. The app interface and programmability are intuitive. It reaches boiling in a few minutes and has been dependable in daily use.

Perfect for Gaiwan & Small Brews
Replaced a larger multi‑temp kettle for the gooseneck and prefer the smaller matte black unit. Fast heat up, solid keep‑warm, and the app lets you fine‑tune temps beyond presets. Connected to Wi‑Fi easily; note high altitude will give a lower boiling point, which is expected.

Fantastic for Delicate Pours, Slower Flow
Perfect for matcha and slow pour techniques, but pouring quickly causes splatter from other seams, so it needs patience. Heats about four cups, the app scheduling is very handy for forgetful moments, and custom temperature saves are great. Easy to clean, stylish, and works very well overall.

Still Excellent After a Year
One year in and it still looks great and works reliably. I have weekday schedules set and use voice control. Heats a full kettle in about four minutes, is easy to clean, leak‑free, and the material feels durable.

No Regrets Buying It
We use it multiple times daily and it’s quiet and light when filled. The matte black finish looks nice and there’s no metallic taste. Be mindful of cord placement, but the multiple heat settings are perfect for tea and chai.

Great When It Works — Replacement Resolved Issues
Love the variable temp accuracy, smooth gooseneck pour, and the app/scheduling actually work. My first unit developed intermittent failures and needed a replacement, which has performed flawlessly so far. If this one keeps up, it’s an easy five‑star kettle.

Really Liked It
Heats fast and pours with good control. The app connects easily but isn't required — the kettle functions fine without it. The build stays cool to the touch mostly, and I haven’t had to deep clean since I only use water. The 0.8 L size is a bit small if you’re making drinks for several people.

Holds Its Own Against Higher‑End Models
A terrific kettle for both tech and non‑tech users. On‑base buttons cover common temps (green tea, oolong, coffee, boil) while the app unlocks DIY temp setting. Keep‑warm for up to 2 hours is excellent, and low‑water detection protects against dry runs.
