 It heats up water, but is noisy and VERY hot on the outside. September 3, 2010
Jason Visser (Los Angeles, CA)
As a kettle, it heats up water quickly and stays clean, which are both great things to have. Sadly, in our one bedroom apartment (kitchen is in the same room as the "living" space), the noise generated while heating water usually means we have to pause whatever we are watching and it is difficult to hold a conversation without yelling. It's not terrible or anything, but just louder than expected. Also, the all metal construction of the container area looks great and stays clean, but definitely is not "safe" to touch and you have to be careful with it, as it gets extremely hot when boiling water.
Still it functions well as a kettle. Good switch, turns off automatically after boiling, nice measure down the side, solid lid, pours well.

I had a plastic one, and I brought it to my office. I bought this for my home, and I love it. It is a little bit more expensive than my old one, but it works great, looks great. I just love it. If you are considering an electrical kettle, it is the one you should choose.
great kettle August 31, 2010

the metal is shiny. works very well. It needs 20s to auto-off after water begins to boil.
The handle will not get too hot after the water is boiled, which is not the case for my last kettle.

I was so happy with this that I wanted to let people know. I love that it is so simple, that it turns off automatically, and that the kettle detaches from the base. However, the metal does get very hot, just like a stovetop kettle would, so common sense precautions are needed. Also, it is not quite as fast as my mother's alternate model, but I would rather avoid the health risks of toxins getting out from heated plastic, so I'll stick with stainless steel. I received this kettle as a birthday gift, and I have used it nearly every day since then! I can't believe that I waited so long to use a product like this- it is so much easier and faster than boiling water on the stove! I haven't noticed any bad odors or tastes. The product is sturdy and it doesn't take up too much room.
great kettle, very pleased with it August 29, 2010

I have been looking for a way to make relatively large quantities of tea in something made of stainless steel (I am afraid of plastic/BPA/etc these days) and have been considering buying a samovar. A samovar, though, is rather expensive, and I decided to give this kettle a try. I am absolutely impressed with how fast it boils water (much faster than a microwave oven), and how long it maintains it warm after switiching off even though it is metallic. Tea making is now a breeze, the tea tastes excellent, the kettle is very convenient to use, I am giving it 5 stars, the concept/design is excellent, although I am not sure how long it will last (made in you-know-where, the place with huge reliability problems).
