First, the packaging did a fantastic job of protecting the kettle.  There were no misplaced or broken parts.  The kettle feels solid while holding it.  
I rinsed it and set some water to heat up and just walked away for a minute.  I got back in about a minute and the water was bubbling like crazy.  I made a cup of hot chocolate and had to wait a little bit to cool down.
My only complaint is non founded, the heating element is attached.  I have to be careful when I wash it.  But, as fast and efficient as it is, that overcomes the negative.
All in all it’s a great kettle, very easy to use and I am going to especially take advantage this winter making hot drinks and soups and things I haven’t thought of yet! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
