This stylish kettle takes the guess work out of how much water is in inside or whether or not it's boiling. I love the blue illuminating light to alert you when the water is boiling and the automatic shutoff feature. The handle is cool to the touch. It looks great on the counter or on the table for serving. It boils fast and that is good for busy mornings to prepare tea, oatmeal, etc. The kids love it for after school noodles or mac & cheese. It is easy to handle and to clean. I received the kettle as a sample to review and I am so glad that I did, as it is fast, convenient & dependable - great addition to my kitchen!
