Love the filter on the spout for hard water scale

I live in an area with very hard water, and will routinely rinse the unit out with some white vinegar

Best water kettle yet!

There are several steps to getting it to boil water

I also don't have to keep mixing hot and cold water to make the temperature I like.

The most expensive water boiler and the worst, had it replaced by cuisnart 3 Times.. until the warranty ran

Minor concerns is that the announcer for when the water is ready is not very loud and you need to pay attention when inputting the settings.

After all, it's just boiling water.

This is a very classy water heater.

There is no way to tell how hot the water is as it heats

It took only about 5 minutes to boil water.

Con, water spots inside after boiling every two times looks yucky

Great for tea and hot water.

But it abruptly broke (no longer heating water, making prolonged random beeping sounds, etc) after that period.

A tea kettle is a simple device - it has to hold water and boil it.

It is very efficient and heats water faster than my old stovetop kettle with a nice 3-beep chime when done

Heats up water pretty fast, has easy to use base

Works as designed and heats water very quickly.

We are loose leaf tea drinkers and had a hard time finding a kettle that did not just boil the water.

however this is easily accessible inside and it boils your water in minutes

It is very quiet and has a quiet beep to let you know when the water is hot.

Keeps the water hot

Instant hot water in minutes.

The breville is also SLIGHTLY larger, but having one before, it's not that inconvenient to just boil more water if you really need more

First experience this electric hot water pot my sisters house fell in love with it makes the best iced tea

Unfortunately it worked grand for two years, then it barely heated the water, then started blowing breakers

I wouldn't recommend using unfiltered tap water.

It will boil water rather quickly.

The past month, the keep warm feature designed to keep the water warm after it's reached the desired temperature is working overtime and boiling off all the water in the pot

I don't use daily, but for tea or other hot water needs it heats quickly and works great.

This is the very best hot water kettle I've used to date.

I'm drinking lots of hot lemon water.

Water is now still cold when the kettle turns off

When it is lit you click it to boil the water and it beeps like crazy

It heats faster than any kettle I have ever used which also makes it the fastest way to get hot water to warm a bottle (which is how I justified the purchase).

When I did this, boiling hot water that accumulated on the lid slid off onto my hand and burnt me.

Love this product easy and fast to warm up water

Hot water in about 2 minutes

The water goes cold VERY quickly.

We are living in a small studio (not hot-water heater) while ourhouse is being

There is a "filter" screen on the inside of the pour spout (what the point of this is I do not know, unless you have chunky water).

severe water leak after a few months

Love this for my tea and hot water for soups

I love having a choice of temperatures for the different teas I drink, an easy "boil water" feature for oatmeal and other items, a "keep warm" feature for my multiple cups of tea, the large amount of water it holds, and its ease of use!

I am conscious about BPA (use Kleen Kanteens, filter my water), nonstick pans, carpet/furniture "protectors" etc also, and I don't think twice about this kettle.

This product doesn't 'boil' water - it warms water to the perfect temperature (hence the name)...

I drink warm lemon water in the mornings and don't want to wait for water to cool

Secondly: A memory function to continue boiling my water as i left it off

Another reviewer stated that the kettle "simply turns off after about two minutes leaving the water cold

but then the kettle starting boiling the water and never shutting off

bummer since i liked the option to keep the water warm

Hot water almost on demand!!

As for safety features, my favourites are that you can refill the kettle with cool water even if it's still hot, auto shut off if there's not enough water, and shut off after 30 minutes of no use

It occasionally boils water (when it feels like it)

I love this tea kettle, it boils water quickly, it has multiple settings, it looks good on my counter, but it is so loud

the last think you want when you spend $100 on a kettle is to be back in the market 6 months later looking for another one... i wish i had kept my cheap looking kettle, it worked for over 10 years, and at least i would have hot water now

Also use to quickly boil water for pasta.

Keeps the water warm for your second cup.

The kettle has decent insulation and keeps water warm for a while.

Bought one in 2013 and now, 4 years later it started to leak water

As well, the removable filter is a nice touch, though with hard water can be a bit of a nuisance

This is an amazing hot water kettle

I love being able to make my more finicky teas with the proper temperature water

Useful for a top up as it keeps the water

It's a great replacement for a traditional teapot, sure, but it's also nice to speed up things like boiling a pot of water -- we cook noodles a lot, and now we put half the water in pan and half in this, and it's boiling in half the time.

Instant hot water for tea, coffee, broths, etc.

A Krups black plastic is what I settled for, but I only put water in, boil it, then empty it out, always adding fresh water each time.

every morning and it boils water faster than the microwave.

I love having instant hot water at a touch.

I can digitally select the temperature to bring the water to and it beeps when the water is ready

Quickly heats water and keeps a second cup's worth hot - I'm drinking a lot more green tea!

It's nice water heater with one significant drawback

It is still heat the water up, but stops after the temperature is ready for a warm shower, not even close to boiled water

I used to warm up the water in the microware or the stove for doing the tea... since i'm using the the cuisinart electric liter the taste improves a lot

Really like the heat settings as I drink green and white teas and you can't tell if your water is too hot and burning the delicate leaves.

Perfect temperature ever time love that it keeps the water warm

It is my go to for hot water.

(all the buttons flash when I try to boil water, which the user manual says means there is a low water warning, but there's a liter of water in the unit!

I use it almost daily (HUGE tea drinker) and even use it to boil water for cooking pots.

I love that it's stainless steel, relatively fast, holds a large amount of water, has temperature settings, and has a beep to alert you when the water is ready.

Previously, I had been heating my water to nearly boiling and just flat out ruining the delicate notes of my green tea

If you use water too hot it will burn & water not hot enough won't fully steep

The only thing that I wish was a little different was the beep letting me know my water was ready

The water level on the left and right of the carafe also makes more sense

Honestly this is a great water heater, but the lid broke within the first two months of purchase

Now I can warm my water very quickly to the perfect temperature, steep it to the length I desire, and have much less hassle

Below Boiling Water TemperatureWhite and green teas have delicate leaves, and therefore require below boiling water temperatures between 170 and 185 degrees Fahrenheit

It leaks water everywhere even when we pick it up to pour and when it’s sitting on the counter in between pours

It boils water in record time and keeps it warm for you in case you want another cup later on

It heats quickly, has temperatures based on what type of tea (or coffee) you are drinking, keeps the water hot, and looks nice on my counter.

I can set the temperature and set it to keep the water warm.

I use this for hot tea, iced tea, hot water for cooking, and sometimes hot water for cleaning

Produces fast hot water to a preset temperature.

To my surprise and after careful timing, I found it made up beautiful hot water almost as quickly as the European model

This is a great hot water kettle and I don't have any complaints so far

Solid water kettle

Fabulous product - well made, easy to use, perfect water temperature for every cup of tea

Since I drink a lot of tea, it helps that I have more than a liter of hot water at my disposal

and it won't boil water anymore

but it's worth it to have the screen in a place because of scale risk with hard water here

I guess Cuisinart wants people to know when their water is ready even if they're out mowing the lawn with headphones on

It never had problems with rust, and was always quick to boil the water to the selected temperature

so I can boil the water at a lower temperature for the kids hot cocoa, etc.

We've been using this to heat up water for coffee, hot water to drink (duh!), instant noodles, etc

Water was leaking from the bottom of the kettle into the electrical area which is obviously dangerous, plus when I tried to turn it on after two uses, it did not work.

She absolutely loves it, it boils water extremely fast

Bought this kettle in May of 2015 and have made more hot water for tea and coffee than I can possibly recall

What I DO like about this kettle is that WHEN it works it heats the water quickly.

In other words, once the water is boiling, it shuts off for a minute or so, then starts boiling again

I am still amazed how fast it boil water

Does sometimes get confused if not enough water and won't reset without unplugging and plugging back in.

Unfortunately, water now leaks out of the bottom from between the metal and the plastic

The best water kettle I've owned

The taste of green tea is so enhanced by not bringing the water to boil

It's so important for the herbal teas to have the correct water temperatures

But what's really nice is how it keeps the water hot for your second and third cup of tea

After all - it did actually boil water

It boils water and it boils it fast.

I make sure to dump the water out after each use and leave the lid open so it can dry properly

right away you hot water will stay hot

I have however used it for hot water for oatmeal, cooking, etc

Wonderful kettle, it has a feature to keep the water warm and this works in our household of four adults with competing schedules

Then the water was not quite so hot as before

We've just ordered a new type of coffee press, and having hot water at the perfect temp very quickly is going to come in handy.

I wish it had a keep warm setting, but it still keeps the water pretty warm for a while after it shuts off

I use the unit once a day to boil water for my newborn so the use of the unit is very light

It heats up water very quickly, and I love that I can control the temperature of the water.

Does sometimes get confused if not enough water and won't reset without unplugging and plugging back in.

If you need a bright shiny object that boils your water to the temp you need every now and

And I must say, its soft, burbling sound as it automatically rewarms the water is really pleasant.

R.I.P. Used twice at night to boil water for tea and couldn't stand the strain

After having 2 other stainless electric water heaters, I am loving the varying temps for heating the water, and especially the view window to see how much water is in the pitcher

She absolutely loves it, it boils water extremely fast

When I am able to get a cup of hot water I am a happy camper, but my issues with this kettle are as follows

Love this...easy one-touch access to perfect temp water.

Also like that it keeps the water warm when you inevitably forget about it.

This allows me to remove the unit from its base, pour water into the pot to heat up the pot, rest the kettle on the counter, pour out the hot water, then put the tea in, pour the water into pot, then return the kettle to its base

It warms the water but does not boil

It sits on a base that has the cord.it will keep water hot for a half hour.

I've been using a hot water kettle for coffee, tea and anything that requires hot water.

Now I can warm my water very quickly to the perfect temperature, steep it to the length I desire, and have much less hassle

Water boils in no time

If you use water too hot it will burn & water not hot enough won't fully steep

It boils water very promptly and several temperature choices are amazing

Love how fast it heats water.

The kettle has this awesome function that it keeps the water warm for about 30min even after it beeps (reach the set temperature

The cost was a bit of a barrier but also I had one of those 5-gallon water coolers with the typical hot water option

Good, durable water boiler

Lasted 1 and 1/2 years and the best it can do now is keep the water luke warm.

Besides making americano style coffee and occasional tea, we keep the kettle going when cooking to provide constant hot water for cooking

It no longer automatically shuts off and keeps boiling the water after the water reaches a boiling temperature.

Water leaked out the bottom of the kettle.

and once it goes out your water is ready.

We heat water for broth cubes, jello, tea, coffee (Aeropress), ramen, cup-o-soups, just any time we need hot water.

Really like the heat settings as I drink green and white teas and you can't tell if your water is too hot and burning the delicate leaves.

We love having hot water for tea in a few short minutes

Electrical kettle with ability to select temperatures, and to keep water warm

really good, every day water heater

it's fast inconvenie to boil water great product...

A Krups black plastic is what I settled for, but I only put water in, boil it, then empty it out, always adding fresh water each time.

Amazing how quickly water boils.

This is the perfect water heater for tea and coffee!

the lights turn on, but the water remains cold, and after a couple minutes t starts beeping until you unplug it

If you just need to boil water, pick a more basic kettle and save your money

It took long to boild water and now it leaks the water all over my counter top everytime i use it

(I have hard water but also a water softener)

If you have a stove and a teapot, or a convenient microwave, you don't really need this, but if you want hot water in your office, this is really nice to have.

Absolutely perfect for the perfect water temperature in the tea-steeping process

Now I'm hoping it just holds up longer than my other hot water kettles.

This pot is mainly for making tea, and what I really needed was a pot to boil water for making instant coffee

It broke after 2.5 years - started leaking at the bottom of the handle, water got on the floor and damaged it

so if it has timed out, the water is still very hot

Handy if you don't need water kept at ready to use temp

I love this tea kettle, it boils water quickly, it has multiple settings, it looks good on my counter, but it is so loud

Tea, soup, and anything else requiring Hot water

This kettle is supposed to heat water up to a specific temperature, rather than just boil it.

I'm used to it now, so I just press the button once again, but first few times I poured cold water into my tea

There is a button allowing option to keep the water warm, but it keeps it tepid at best.

I drink tea everyday, and have been using this to boil the water at least 3-6 times everyday for the past 4 years

I like the way it boils water in minutes

I use this for so much more than just tea - boiling water for Jello or a Neti Pot, whenever a recipe calls for warm water, etc.

, it boils water to different temperatures and its cordless

I love having a choice of temperatures for the different teas I drink, an easy "boil water" feature for oatmeal and other items, a "keep warm" feature for my multiple cups of tea, the large amount of water it holds, and its ease of use!

Keeping the water hot for 30 minutes is another plus.

I recommend it highly for tea drinkers and your other hot water needs.

Love it keeps the water warm for a half hour after heating

The water tastes like plastic

I have had one of these for many years and it still works fine, except that it now leaks water.

When I did this, boiling hot water that accumulated on the lid slid off onto my hand and burnt me.

it's so nice to not have overheated water

I will boil a little white vinegar inside to de-scale the inside from hard water buildup.

I have previously owned other brands that simply bring the water to boil then turns off.

Edit: Discoloration went away after I started using purified water.

And its memory keeps your water hot when you replace the pot on its stand after use

I’m big on tea, so the settings on this make sure my green teas and oolongs never get bitter because I boiled the water too hot

This kettle purchased 1.5 months ago does not heat water to appropriate temperatures, which is its essential function

The past month, the keep warm feature designed to keep the water warm after it's reached the desired temperature is working overtime and boiling off all the water in the pot

It was great while it was working cause I can boil water at different temperatures

We boil our water for coffee and tea and use this daily

My green tea definitely tasted better heating water to the correct temp

My favorite feature is that it can optionally keep my water warm for up to half an hour, just in case I get distracted on my way to making tea.

Water gets HOT and that is what I need for tea

makes the perfect water temperature you need, and stays that temp

No hot water anymore

very convenient and quite fast at boiling the water

Brews fast and has a pleasant beep when the water is ready.

This thing gets really noisy when it's boiling the water

The kettle will keep the water warm as needed

but I had never changed the temperature of hot water before!

You can boil to specific temperatures, boiling takes literally 60 seconds and the kettle will keep the water warm for about 20 minutes before turning off, yet the water will still stay warm for quite some time

blue lights, high-pitched continuous beep and no hot water.

The water is maintained hot until you are ready

(can't pry it open) and now we have to pour the water in thru the spout (so much fun).So for $80 plus

Some pluses: high capacity, 6 different temperatures for heating the water, but a major problem: there is no switch off button.

I treat it with a vinegar solution every few months to get rid of any hard water build up

Easy to use and warms up the water quickly

It gets one star for looks and another because it still boils water.

I love this kettle; it heats quickly, to a good number of temperature choices, from 160° to boiling, and it keeps the water at that chosen temperature for at least 30 minutes, making if great when you're doing a bunch of things and forget about your water, or when you want to heat up your cool coffee with a bit of hot water

The varying temperature settings and the ability to keep the water warm for an hour are both the reasons why I bought this kettle

Great hot water heater, with two temperatures and a warmer

What is this microwave thingy and why did we ever warm up our water with it!

Amazing how quickly water boils.

Love it only beeps when the water is hot.

every morning and it boils water faster than the microwave.

This is a nice water heater, but is pricey.

Once it's finished warming the water, I have to set it somewhere else to cool down instead of set it back on the plate, otherwise it will start to heat up again and freak out when there's no water (or unplug it).

There are a two main problems with it: 1)the water window is hidden under the handle, so it is easy to overfill or boil more water than you need, and 2)when you overfill it, the water seems to infiltrate the interior of the kettle and break it

If there was anything negative I could say is that near the spout on the inside is a piece of plastic that the hot water has to pass through before getting to my cup

The base has a slim profile and takes up little space on the counter;The electrical cord length can be adjusted under the base to avoid extra slack;The water level markers are convenient if you want to fill water to a specific amount without the need to boil more water than necessary, which takes longer;Water boils fairly quickly and accurately based on the taste of my French pressed coffee

so I don't get hard water residue in the bottom (this is why I threw my old one away)

Once you've heated your water and it beeps and you place the cooker back on the plate, it continues to boil the water as if the task isn't complete

I started using the "boil" button as the only one that got even warm water

Bonus use: the lowest setting is great for hot water bottles

I have hard water and keeps the particles out of my cup.

It's a nice shiny metal appliance, but very hot water is on the other side, and metal conducts heat very well

The water boils quickly and beeps just loud enough

The one thing that I sometimes forget to do is tell the kettle not to keep the water warm so it will keep boiling and beeping after I've left the room (but this is user error).

Before I had this, I would boil water on the stove like a barbarian

I like to make my own Tazo Iced Tea which required you boil water and add to a specially designed pitcher.

This is very nice for hot water, at first

This gives you the option to boil water to different temperature which is important whilst making different types of teas

Other kettles light right through the button's text indicating clearly the selected function, however those kettles were poor performers in supplying hassle free hot water (over boiling, steam, spout dribble, hard to clean).

Even if it says no plastic parts there is the plastic filter part which makes the water smell like plastic when it boils

Having the keep warm setting is really useful when you're not able to pour your water when its ready and keeps it at the temperature every couple of minutes.

I heat water in this, dilute with some cold water to bring the temperature down and wash the dishes.

It boils water well enough but it emits beeps when it's done, an unnecessary and annoying feature for me

I love the way my green tea tastes now that I use the correct temperature water to brew it.

I have a Keurig that we have owned for several years and usually use hot water out of it.

Anything you need to boil water for, this is how you should do it

After using this kettle for 4 month,Water started leaking from the base on the heating element and that is dangerous

Bottom line: optimal water warmer for tea lovers who don't want to spend tons of money on a Zojirushi CD-WBC40-TS Micom 4-Liter Water Boiler and Warmer, Silver Brown

10-20 heat cycles a day, hard water, adults and kids banging on it.

Also use it to boil water when cooking pastas, cuts down cooking time!

We have had it since Christmas & now the top flies open when you pour hot water, but then to open it, you have to use your hand to open the top to be able to fill it with water.

If you sometimes make hot water early in the morning and don't turn on the lights so as not to wake anyone, you would hope all of the LEDs lighting this thing up would be helpful

Best pouring spout for smoothing pouring hot water without splashing everything else

Using the hot water faucet I would waste a couple gallons of hot water every time.

Love the different temperature choices even though I usually boil my water

To clean in areas with hard water, simply put an ounce or two of citric acid and fill with water, set to boil and let sit for 15-20 minutes, rinse thoroughly with hot water.

Sometimes use it to boil water fast for pasta - dump it in the pot on the cooktop after it boils - only 1.7 liters but tests show you don't get different results with 4 quarts of water

severe water leak after a few months

I drink herbal tea all day long and this little wonder keeps the hot water

Honestly, I love this pot with it's temp programs, but after 4 months suddenly I noticed that every time I used it, it leaked all the water out of the bottom all over my entire countertop

The preset options are very handy, the unit heats water quickly and quietly, and I love the small beep it gives to let you know the water is at temperature (and it keeps it there for 30 mins!).

95% of the time I'm happy to use the preset temps, but every once in a while, I'd like water at 140°, or I'd like to use my Aeropress at the recommended water temp of 180°.That said, this is a great upgrade from our old electric kettle with the thermometer, and we love it.

Love this Cordless Programmable Kettle and the different temps to boil water for various types of tea.

At first I thought I was not adding enough water to the pot, but did some trials with a full kettle and found it did the same thing

The temperature range/selection is excellent and allows for more optimal water temps depending on the tea I'm drinking.

This kettle certainly looks good, but how it pours is really important when dealing with very hot water!

If all you're using this for is to boil water, then you should consider one that doesn't have this temperature sensor inside, might last longer.

What I like: variable water temperature that makes me excellent green tea - even if I forget to take the bag out, the water cools off quickly enough that it doesn't taste over-steeped

What I like: variable water temperature that makes me excellent green tea - even if I forget to take the bag out, the water cools off quickly enough that it doesn't taste over-steeped

It quickly warmed my water to a variety of temperatures for my beverages.

No more too hot water

I use it for different types of tea mostly, and often to boil water while cooking, and a few other uses

Finally, after it finishes heating, and I've poured the hot water into the third carafe along with a tea bag, I set it back on the stand, it lights back up, and I hit the start button again to turn it off, and I'm done with it for the day

Some hot water often misses the cup - beware!!

I use the 165 or 175 degrees for green tea, a little hotter for black tea, and boil the water for my ginger tea

So convenient to make coffee each am ( for our coffee press) and for any time quick hot water is needed

; it's a little difficult to tell how much water you have as you're filling up since the level-indicator is delayed (water seeps into the indicator and the water level rises to the appropriate measurement after you've turned the faucet off).

Heats water quickly, easy to use, a must add to your kitchen counter!!

Almost one year after I purchased this kettle, when I was trying to boil water with it

This Cordless hot water electric heater is outstanding.

She absolutely loves it, it boils water extremely fast

There is also the option to keep the water warm for up to 30 minutes

Keeps the water hot after it has reached selected temperature.

very good, heats water extremely fast

Great teapot to boil water at various temperatures for herbal tea drinkers.

This is totally an excellent hot water kettle.

Over the past year, I've gone through several hot water pots.

Tends to come in handy for all kinds of things, so much faster than boiling on a stove, and so convenient that it keeps water warm when you forget to come back immediately

I never though water would boil so fast

Auto warm setting is also useful, it just re-boils the water after it senses temp goes down

still works well but has collected too much of the hard water.

Hate the coffee pots in hotels where the hot water tastes like coffee when trying to make a cup of tea.

Two buttons for perfect water temp

Heats up in seconds to minutes depending on how much water I'm boiling.

I soaked the interior with dilute vinegar to clean off hard water deposits from the temperature sensor and it worked for another couple of weeks and then it died again and couldn't be resuscitated.

Works great and really keeps the water warm for later use

I drink a lot of herbal teas, and my husband black tea, so I'm not sure if it is worth the extra money to have all the temp settings since they recommend boiling water to steep, but I personally like the water less

The lid can spring kind of forcefully, where our old one had a soft-open to stop hot water droplets from spattering

So easy to get hot water, with optional temps!

great electric hot water kettle - heats water to several temperature settings - settings for several types of tea and coffee.

,it only has to boil water.

It boils water very promptly and several temperature choices are amazing

This prevents you overheating the water and delivering the right temperature for herbal teas which should not be steeped at oiling temperatuares.

so we kept our eyes on it and turned it off when the water was ready

it's not a problem to open the rest up with your fingers, but sometimes I add more water when I need more even if there is a little hot steamy water inside

Great water boiler/heater

Sure enough water is leaking out of it

In December the unit failed to heat water, its essential function.

Very convenient water kettle for various types of teas.

Use it almost daily for coffee, tea, just plain old hot water

Also the ability to keep the water hot is nice as sometimes you aren't always able to get to make the tea immediately after it boils.

It withstood 10 months of running more than half the day (and night) to make hot water to heat bottles and tons of tea

Awesome hot water maker!!

The water here in MN is soooo bad, that even using twice filtered water, it has marred the interior surface somewhat but far less than the other models I tried

Some hot water often misses the cup - beware!!

only bad thing is with hard water, the element inside starts to develop scale on it.

It boils water and it boils it fast.

As a lover of green tea, I always had a problem getting the water to just the right temperature.

We have hard water

We noticed a funny taste in the hot water and then about 2 weeks after it became EXTREMELY noticeable and unpleasant

I only boiled water in the morning and never left it wired after using it.

and I won't return it for an exchange because it's an otherwise good water

that lets you know your water is ready be louder.

This a very quick and easy to use source of hot water for teas and Aeropress coffee maker.

To clean in areas with hard water, simply put an ounce or two of citric acid and fill with water, set to boil and let sit for 15-20 minutes, rinse thoroughly with hot water.

My only recommendation is that if you have hard water, make sure to clean with vinegar to break down the calcium deposits.

I would love to have a more attention getting beep when water is ready, otherwise this is a very good product

I have to return it as the water taste like plastic.

Great for instant hot water for the French Press coffee & hot teas

now it boils water to a scalding lukewarm

Works great and boils water in a decent time, but there are probably ones that do it a little faster

Well made and durable, it does the job very well, heating water quickly and, optionally, keeping it at the right temperature

Going to try to find a bare-bones electric kettle that meets my primary criterion of fast hot water in the morning.

I have to push THREE buttons to BOIL water.

It isn't bitter because the water is perfect for the steep!

The 160°/"Delicate" setting almost did the same thing, pegging the meter at least at 220°.The whole point of this stupid thing was so that I didn't have to fiddle with heating up and cooling down and heating up and cooling down boiling water in the morning to get 200°.What a piece of garbage.

Use purified water if you can

Now he can brew his various teas at the perfect temperature and the water stays warm for a good while as well.

It boils water well enough but it emits beeps when it's done, an unnecessary and annoying feature for me

But the problem: a few weeks ago it started shutting off before the water was hot

Other kettles light right through the button's text indicating clearly the selected function, however those kettles were poor performers in supplying hassle free hot water (over boiling, steam, spout dribble, hard to clean).

I like the keep warm feature because I use this at work and often get busy so the water is still hot when I return

Pour in water, press temp button, press start, water hits temp quickly and kettle beeps like ten times really loudly (which you can't turn off by the way so it wakes up everyone within earshot) , pour out hot water, replace on base, try to turn of by pressing start button as it says in instructions --- but it won't turn off

Before I had this, I would boil water on the stove like a barbarian

Does not retain the heat as well as I would like perhaps, but is otherwise a great kettle.
