I didn't realize what I was missing until I got this kettle and now I can't imagine life without it!  It's clean and modern on my counter but best of all functional.  It has six pre-programmed settings so you can select your temperature range.  It goes from room temperature to boiling in under three minutes so you can be enjoying your hot water almost instantly.  I love the 30 minute keep warm function and in addition the double walled steel keeps it warm longer.  Cool touch exterior means now worries about accidental burns.
