I’ve had this electric kettle for about a month, and I don’t know how I got along without it! Having lived overseas until a few months ago, I am accustomed to having an electric kettle, but thismone is so much nicer than the utilitarian kettles I have had in the past. It’s sleek design goes well with the other cuisinart devices in my kitchen, and it’s well-balanced heft makes it easy to control when pouring out the water. It is also easy to clean, and a quick dose of vinegar easily took care of the hard-water residue.
