I received the electric kettle as a gift, and I have not been disappointed. I like the sleek styling of the stainless steel and blue lights, but the best feature is how fast the water is heated and the various temperature settings for different tea leaves. I would buy this kettle if this one should break. I have not had to descale it yet due to the hard water where I I've, but the included care instructions direct how to do so, and the process seems easy. I highly recommend this kettle to anyone!
