This is a delayed review.  I have this kettle for just over 4 months.  PROS: It quickly boils water.  I am not a tea snob, so i am not picky about the specific temperature. It does its job (which is to heat water for my tea/hot chocolate/instant coffee/cup of noodles etc.)  I love the color that i got, which is an orangey-red.  This adds a nice touch of color to my gray-white kitchen.  CONS:  Cleaning is challenging if you have large hands.  I started noticing limescale deposits in the bottom after a month and a half of regular (3-4 times a week) use. Otherwise, a good buy, preferable to using the microwave to heat up water
