This Hamilton Beach Variable Temperature Kettle is Awesome!  Until I used this to make my tea I did not realize what a profound effect the temperature of the water has on the taste of tea.  We all drink tea in our household and by having the water at the precisely correct temp for tea our tea went from good to amazing.  This Kettle heats the water to the precise temperature was quicker than the quick method we were using before.  It is easy to fill, to view the water level, and to set.  The blue led lights make reading the water level gauge so easy...this is important because now I don't have to wear my glasses to make our tea.  This is just an all around great product.
