I wanted a smaller kettle as we tend to fill it with too much water wasting electricity.  this is a smart kettle also takes up less space on the worktop.  Doesnt look small.  Boils well.  Colour matches my kitchen appliances.  Only problem it doesnt have an outside water fill line if you like to fill through the spout but on the other hand it does have a guage inside which i think i prefer as when i remove the lid and fill i also wipe the lid area and spout now to help with the scale build up.  our water is hard.
