I wasn’t sure what I would think of this kettle. We have an electric kettle already that is the cheap but durable corded plastic kind. I am so impressed by this newer model by OXO! Minimal plastic, looks sleek. Incredibly easy to use. Absolutely love the temperature control option. It heats incredibly quickly. I will also mention a feature I think is underrated, which is the spout. You will see in my photos our tea-stained countertop. My husband appears to be incapable of pouring anything without spilling it. This kettle is a game changer!
