This is such an easy kettle to use.  I like the swivel base...you can just set it down..doesn't have to be on in a certain way.  It boils water quick, definitely faster than a microwave or a stovetop.  Inside it has measuring device so you know how much water to put in for 1-3 cups, if you want smaller amounts.  I liked the removable filter.  The best feature, overall, is the auto shutoff! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
