Not at all as advertised.  This is not a stainless steel kettle. Rather, it is a very cheap (yet expensively priced) plastic kettle with a stainless steel plate covering the heating element. Nowhere on the actual box does it even mention the word "stainless steel", so this is a huge false advertisement by Wayfair.  Also, the box was shipped upside down and was extremely beaten up when it finally arrived, several days after it was supposed to arrive.  Extremely disappointed in this first experience with Wayfair.
