FAQ
Q1: Are your cups microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe?
A: It depends on the material:
- Ceramic & Glass Cups: Most are microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe (top rack recommended). Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., hot cup to cold water) to prevent cracking.
- Stainless Steel Cups: Not microwave-safe; dishwasher-safe (top rack recommended to prevent scratches).
-
Plastic Cups: Only BPA-free plastic cups labeled "microwave-safe" can be used in the microwave; all are dishwasher-safe.
Product pages clearly mark compatibility, and care instructions are included with every order.
Q2: Do your electric kettles have safety features to prevent overheating?
A: Yes! All our electric kettles are equipped with dual safety features: auto-shutoff when the water reaches boiling point, and overheat protection that turns off the kettle if it’s turned on without water. They also have non-slip bases and cool-touch handles to prevent burns. For added safety, we recommend unplugging the kettle when not in use.
Q3: What is the maximum load capacity of your storage racks?
A: Load capacity varies by size and material:
- Small Countertop Storage Racks: Hold up to 25 lbs (ideal for cups, small kitchen appliances).
- Medium Freestanding Storage Racks: Hold up to 50 lbs (ideal for pantry items, cookware).
-
Large Heavy-Duty Storage Racks: Hold up to 100 lbs (ideal for bulky items like large appliances, boxes).
Every storage rack includes a load capacity label, and assembly instructions emphasize not exceeding this limit to maintain stability.
Q4: Can I return an electric kettle if it doesn’t heat up fast enough for my needs?
A: Yes! Unused electric kettles (no signs of water filling or plug-in use) are eligible for return/exchange within 45 days of delivery. You will need to request an RA Number first, and you are responsible for shipping costs plus a 12% restocking fee. If the kettle has a manufacturing defect (e.g., slow heating due to a faulty element), returns are free with no restocking fee.
Q5: Do you offer bulk discounts for cafes, restaurants, or office break rooms?
A: Yes! We offer tiered bulk discounts for commercial and organizational orders, with free standard shipping for all U.S. locations:
- 15–29 units/sets: 15% off retail price + free product samples.

Q6: How should I care for my stainless steel cups to prevent rust and stains?
A: Follow these care tips to maximize lifespan:
- Wash stainless steel cups with mild detergent and a soft sponge—avoid abrasive scrubbers that cause scratches.
- Dry cups immediately after washing to prevent water spots and rust (especially around the rim).
- Do not leave acidic beverages (e.g., lemonade, coffee) in the cups for extended periods—they can cause discoloration.
- Avoid using bleach or harsh cleaners, which can damage the stainless steel finish.
- Store cups in a dry place to prevent moisture buildup.
