I ordered this because it is a good solid no nonsense kettle with internal water level marks. This was because after having several high end kettles with external water level windows without fail, the 'window' was the point of failure and this was one of the few decent kettles without one! This is a solid good looking kettle. I like the stainless steel interior and the insulated outer which remains safe to touch even when just boiled. It isn't noisy and boils quickly. If I had a teeny gripe it would be that when pouring some water can come out under the lid if you aren't careful. But overall a good kettle.
