It heats water very quickly, and I love its compact size since we live in a small apartment. My only complaint is that if you fill it even a little above the maximum fill line, it boils over and makes a huge mess. It’s a bit annoying, so you have to be careful not to overfill it.
I got this smaller 1L kettle to take with me on our multiple local timeshare vacations. I love cups of tea first thing in the morning but hate boiling the water in a pan or microwave. This way I have instant, clean water from a kettle I know is sanitized. This way my larger Chefman kettle can stay at home. So glad I found this and it arrived just in time for our next getaway!
