We love all of our Breville products. This Electric Kettle is no exception. It performs consistently. It is built solid, has elegant styling and has lots of nice features such as, a soft open lid with release button, 360' rotating cord-free kettle, a place to wind-up the cord under the base, BPA free plastics, 2 tinted graduated plastic sight glasses - one in ML and the other in cups, 5 temperature settings, a keep warm 20 minutes button, stainless steel construction kettle, burn proof handle, go-dry safety off, auto off, last setting memory (set to boil on power reset), rubber feet base, easy pull-out plug end, temperature reached beep, remove from base beep and more. We enjoy this kettle immensely and use it for hot chocolate and food prep as well as tea. Buy one and you won't be disappointed!
