Bodum  Bistro is a great electric kettle.  I owned one several years ago and it's still work, but I wanted to get a more recent model.  This one is great.  Quiet when heating up, which I like.  I have owned one kettle that had a high rating, but so loud. People on the phone would ask me what I was mixing up, thinking I had a blender running.   The Bodum Bistro is as quiet as can be.  You can talk on the phone while waiting for the water to heat up...or listen to the TV while it heats.  Easy to fill and shuts off automatically, should you forget it.

I bought my first Bodum Kettle after I left a kettle on my stove top and forgot about it...near disaster, melting the porcelain onto the stove top.   I love the Bodum for many reason.  Safety being number one.  Auto shut off prevents disasters from happening.  Nice design, quiet while heating up...so important.   Again, great electric kettle.  I would definitely recommend to a family member or friend.
