Very well made kettle that looks attractive on the counter and is ergonomically well designed and easy to use. It has a handy beep to let you know when the water has reached the desired temperature and it resets to off once you lift the kettle off the base. One down side is that the indicator showing the amount of water in the kettle is not very easy to read in order to to determine how much water is in the kettle, and is not illuminated when the kettle is on as is the case in some other electric kettles.
