We have had this kettle plugged in for about 2 months now. We both work from home so the kettle is always in use for tea, french press coffee or drip coffee.  I even use it to make instant oatmeal. It's features a great. Auto turn off and keep warm are the best.  We also love the ability to choose water temp.  The design is modern and sleek and easy to clean.  So glad we decided to purchase this kettle.
