I bought this electric tea kettle three months ago and like it a lot. If there was one drawback, it’s a little noisy. We are all tea drinkers in our house and our former kettle no longer worked. I didn’t want to spend quite as much as I did for this one, but now realize we all enjoy the features this one offered. Especially the keep hot feature. The kettle turns itself back on for an additional hot cup of tea for a bit after the first cup(s) are poured.
