The Distinctios Kettle in silver and black looks stylish on my kitchen countertop. The heatproof handle works and nothing leaks out from the spout when I pour the hot water into my cup.  The kettle has automatic shutoff when boiled and has an internal marker so you can just boil one, two, or three cups of water, if you prefer.  The base is 360 degrees, and the cord wraps around the bottom to keep it out of the way.  The kettle also has a limescale filter at the spout so that if you do build up any liimescale, it won't go into your hot drink.
