Great so far—fast, quiet and pretty. I've had it for about a month and haven't had any issues. The best think is I haven't burned myself like other crappy electric kettles with weird pieces that get hot near the handles.
This kettle is exactly what I was looking for. Perfect temperature control, easy settings and changes, quick to bring water up to temperature set and hold, schedule for hot water for my tea when I awaken, and perfect drip-free pouring. Hope it lasts forever!
Fellow makes one of the more thoughtfully-designed electric tea kettles. The design is simple and unassuming with an ergonomic knob/button for controlling the temperature and a separate menu button for accessing other features such as scheduling the kettle to turn on and, apparently, playing tetris (bricky). Long-pressing the knob activates a stopwatch; it would be nice if there was also a countdown timer. The kettle can receive firmware updates, so maybe they will add a countdown timer in the future. Temperature control is rapid and precise. The kettle itself is adequately sized (about 0.9 L = 4 cups), the pour is not-too-slow and not-too-fast for tea. The inside is all stainless steel with a silicone gasket around the temperature probe. The inside of the lid is stainless steel with a black silicone gasket. The outside of the lid is polypropylene plastic. Although it doesn't touch the water, be prepared for a plastic smell during the first week of use. Other than the lid, the kettle is single-wall and not insulated, so the outside is scalding to touch. It would be nice if they made a double-wall version. The price point is expensive, and if you want a gooseneck kettle there are more affordable alternatives (e.g. Greater Goods) with similar features, but this is the best tea kettle out there right now.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this small kettle. It is just right for 2. It heats up quickly and the hold function is great.
