Buy more than one because sooner or later even the best items are replaced by others.  (Why?)  I have bought four of these.  Pretty, heat fast, easy to clean last more than a year (I gave mine away and bought another.)  Doesn't take up room.  I heat water for rice, soups, stews, as well as tea and coffee, etc.  It's fun, a pickmeup every morning to see the blue light.
