I love this kettle. The blue lights are beautiful, and the automatic shut off is perfect for when I can't come to the kettle right away from another room. The only thing is that the cover has to be closed completely for the kettle to automatically shut off. If it isn't the kettle will keep boiling the water until you manually shut it off. It isn't a big deal, but it's a bit of a hassle on the mornings when you are half-awake making tea or coffee, and the steam's moisture can potentially damage the wood of my cabinets.
