I ordered this as a Christmas gift for my wife. She was glad to get rid of the old GE stainless of the same size. The old one had boiled thousands of gallons over the past several years of heavy use, and was starting to rust at the seam. We like the blue light which easily lets us know when it is finished boiling. The old one was noisy while it was heating and if the small blue lighted wasn't facing you in a noise filled room, you wouldn't know when it finished. If it's good stainless, it should last a good long time. O, the price and on time delivery was a nice plus as well.
