This has been a great purchase.  We love it and use it all the time.  You're probably asking yourself why you need to spend this much money on something that boils water, but if you're an avid tea or coffee drinker, you'll love this.  The different water temperature settings, and the most important "hold" button are fantastic.  Nothing worse if you're busy then coming back to a kettle that's boiled and you can't remember how long and then wait to do it again, or trying to time it so your water isn't full boil.  This kettle takes care of it all for you.  
It's one of our favorite new members of the family, and less noisy than our kids.  In fact, it's quiet and it's "beeps" are soft and not annoying either.  
Can't say enough about this kettle and it's quality.  Buy it!
