This kettle is amazing! I have to be honest for a second and admit I’ve never owned an electric kettle because frankly I just warmed up the water in the microwave or on the stove top. This thing is fast to head up water and it can even keep it warm. I’m very convinced this thing uses much less power than a microwave or a stove. And it holds approx 7 cups which is insane because it doesn’t look like it could. I appreciate the scale on the outside of the kettle you can use to determine how much water you have (and need if for precise measurements). If I had one thing to request, it’s that the cord could be somewhat longer. Either way, I love this item!
