We use a ton of mac and cheese and tea at our house so we needed something way more convenient. This kettle totally fits the bill! It is SUPER easy to use! Heats water right up and is able to rotate on heated base so easy to share at table. The only con I can even say (and I'm stretching it) is the small little lip at top that sometimes drips a little but I personally don't see any other way it could work properly without it. But this is so minor that honestly I don't even pay attention to it. At the end of the day when in use or just on shelf, it is even beautiful to look at! I really LOVE this item! A must if you have kids!!! We have literally used it every day since getting it! I can thank you enough for letting me sample this product to review!
