I think that glass Electric Tea Kettle is more comfortable but I just need to get used to it, since I had glass teapots all the time and when I ordered this one, it seemed to me that it was on the side, where the notch was, that it was glass.  So I ordered, but when I received the order, I saw that I was wrong.  However, I liked the kettle: a beautiful color and not heavy, an excellent decoration for the kitchen.  Now I'll see how long it will work ...Hope it’ll work long...
