I bought this kettle last year, and it's been working great for the most part. I find that it tends to heat the water too much - for example, if you set it to green tea temperature (175 F), it tends to overheat to about 180 F or more. Not super accurate, but close enough for most purposes. I have had 2 or 3 instances in the past year where the boiler couldn't detect the temperature correctly, and will continue to boil no matter what you do and whether or not there's water in the kettle, even if you hit the start/stop button. Usually it fixes itself by unplugging and plugging it back in, but it's made me cautious, as it could continue to boil a dry kettle and cause a fire hazard. The kettle looks great. I wish there was a toggle to change between Celsius and Fahrenheit, as most of the world uses the former unit of measurement.
