It's a little bigger than I was expecting, but I haven't really been shopping around to realize this is an average size for this item.  It's beautiful, sleek, and lights up pretty blue just like the picture.  Heats to a boil quickly.  Has a nice feature that you can coil the chord to suit your length.  Out of the box the pot sat on the heating element had a slight wobble, but with water it's just fine.  Lid has nice lock feature to stay open when filling.  Pours nicely.  Very happy with my early birthday present to myself!
