Kettle is nice looking and I like that it has the ability to select different temperatures for different types of teas. My boyfriend liked mine so much that I bought him one too. My only issue is the base is too light and that the cord doesn't sit nicely in the cutout for it. If they fixed how the cord fit into the cutout then I'd give it 5 stars. Over all its a great kettle so far and I'm very happy with purchasing one for myself and as a gift.
