So glad I found this product. Had given up my love of hot tea, because of the time it takes. This product, boils water, so quickly. So quick, and easy. Love the fact that pitcher easily lifts, frokm base for serving, with no tangle cord mess. Autoshutoff feature, is a life saver, prevents accidents, and prevents me from ruining my wonderful pitcher.
