[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since I’m a tea-lover I use an electric kettle multiple times in a daily basis. This one is a nice looking kettle. It’s a lightweight kettle which makes it easy to lift up but the water cools down rapidly. I also wish that the lid button was on the handle instead being on the lid. It makes it difficult to open and close the lid.

I had this kettle and it was recalled. They sent me a new one and that one broke after ten uses. The first issue was the lid broke off and the recall problem was the handle could come off. The second kettle I got the small plastic window came out, spilling boiling water all over the counter and on the floor. Safety hazard.

Others have commented on how this kettle is quieter; this is due to the fact that it switches the element on and off (perhaps in an effort not to overshoot the target temperature). The tradeoff is that it takes a little longer. The manual says the battery function allows for the current temperature of the water to be known when the kettle is away from the base (I'm not sure how this is useful). What the manual doesn't say is that the batteries allow for the desired temperature setting to be remembered between boils (including if the unit is switched off at the mains). In any case, I'm not sure how wise it is to have chemical, heat-sensitive, AA cells inside a kettle. The interior of the pot is beginning to corrode after a few weeks of use (another reviewer mistook this for mould). I'm not sure how long it will last.
