When my wife said that we should get this kettle, I have to admit that I was skeptical.  I honestly didn't know why we needed a new one when we already had an older kettle on our counter.  As soon as it arrived, I instantly thought it was awesome.  From the sleek look to the different features, I was sold.  It looks incredible on our counter which seems weird to say since it's just a kettle.  The preset heating options are incredibly handy.  The water heats very quickly and the machine actually looks neat while it's heating.  Much to my surprise, I actually love everything about this kettle.
