I bought the kettle for my 91 year old uncle. His old one stopped working and he wanted a simple but good kettle. My uncle likes the quality in the kettle and it’s simple design. It’s east to use and he can see how much water is in the kettle in the window. He likes to wrap up the cord in the base. He likes that it shuts off when finished boiling and will stop if it’s empty. Well done Starfrit
