This kettle is exactly what I needed , it's great for having hot water ready . It looks elegant and I really love that it's stainless steel. The digital controls are perfect , I just turn it on and set the the temperature. I like that there's multiple temperature options for whatever you desire . It's cool to the touch so I don't have to worry about getting burned when handling. The removable power base is a great feature also , and this cool stylish kettle has auto shutoff just in case I forget .
