The kettle is real cute. Just big enough for what I need in my home. The minimum line is enough to boil for just one cup of tea. I also like the blue light.. It adds a little pizzazz.  I agree with one of the reviews that there is a plastic smell but I only experienced it for the first use. I also pour out any water that will not be used and leave the cover open so the kettle can dry out.  I like that the cord wraps around the base so it's not all over the counter.  I am happy with my purchase.
