i love the design of this product. It is pleasing to the eye, easy to use and of a sturdy construction.  The varaible temperature is the best feature for me as I drink infusions which i don't want to drink at boiling temperatures and this takes the guesswork out of the equation, as well as taking less time.
One star is lost as this is a replacement for an identical kettle that lasted just longer than the guarantee. I hope this one lasts considerably longer.
