After many happy years of daily use of the previous version of this kettle, I just replaced it with the current version.  I don't wait for these kettles to switch 'off' automatically and that probably led to the switch of my previous kettle malfunctioning.  The current kettle version seems lighter in weight and features two windows instead of one.  Water seems to come to boil faster too.  The handle is my favourite feature and I am so pleased that its shape and materials have not changed.  I find the handle very comfortable for my smaller than average hands.
