I really love this kettle, it is light weight enough to fill to the top and is streamlined to not take up much space. There is blue lighting that shows the temp, you can choose your temp level by what you are heating the water for (coffee, green tea, black tea etc) which takes the guesswork out of it. Very unique that way. I love that the top stays on instead of removing it to fill with water. It turns itself off when finished.
