**it will not shut off when the water boils.***This is a potential safety issue, as you could return to your kitchen to find an empty super-heated kettle, melting its base and burning a hole into your counter

would be have a little longer electrical cord, but I understand the safety issues with doing that.

This model seems to have a huge safety issue, and therefore, I absolutely do not recommend it

The kettle portion has definitely failed (but the base is fine).A core safety issue I'm seeing with it now, other than having caused multiple GFCI failures, is that it does not shut off anymore after the water boils

I'm not worried and I haven't noticed anything tasting off or weird as a

My glass-top stove is sooooooo slow--it's a breeze to heat water now (not quite as fast as in England, but there's only half the voltage in the US).

It still works as well a year later as on day 1

works as I expected it too, great

I had a ten year old T-fal electric kettle that died.
