We bought this kettle just shy of a month now and we love it! We use it everyday for tea and sometimes use it to heat up water for Jello. Very easy to measure out just enough for what you need and added benefit is less water heats up faster than the guess and pray method. The automatic shutoff is great when we get side tracked and forget! Also, the ability to heat water to certain temperatures for the different teas is great and allows us to drink some teas sooners as it wasn't way to hot! Just overall love this thing. Highly recommend it if you drink tea everyday.
