Very attractive, heats quickly.  Handle is cool if you pick it up as soon as it has boiled.  If you leave the kettle for even a few minutes, the handle starts to absorb heat to the point of making it difficult to hold.  Need a cloth to pick it up if I forget about it and reboil it.  I would have preferred to remove the plastic filter attachment inside, but the auto shut-off does not work unless it remains in place!
