I like that this is 1 liter capacity and a lid that opens with a button. However, there are 2 things I don't like about it. 1 - When removing the kettle from the base, the power goes off, when you return the empty carafe to the base, the power goes back on and keeps heating. You have to remember to turn the power off. IT should be powered off when the carafe is returned to the base. 2 - I wish there was a temperture setting in between 190-212. I used it for tea and for some black teas, 190 isn't warm enough, but boiling is too much. I would like a 200-205 just under boiling option. Other than that, I am fairly satisfied with the ketlle.
The kettle is very convenient to use. Beautiful color and design, does not leave fingerprints on the surface. Heats water very quickly. Great size. You can select the water heating temperature. Has a convenient cable. No plastic smell.
