Seems well made; water level window almost impossible to see
This kettle feels well made (I had ordered a different brand of kettle previosly, and in addition to being defective, it was flimsy and the base would not sit firmly on the counter, causing the kettle to tilt and become a burning hazard, and so I returned it). This kettle is definitely NOT flimsy. It sits on the base without tilting. It just feels substantial without being too heavy to handle. It looks attractive on the counter, better than I thought it would, and it heats water fast and shuts off automatically when the water boils. It does a good basic job; simply heating water for our tea or soups. The interior is stainless, although not the underside of the lid, if that is a concern for you; the water per se doesn’t touch it, but there is condensation on the underside of the lid. After using it for a couple of days, it still looks new, however I understand rust stains can happen with one’s particular water quality Our water must not be as hard as I thought, because we are not getting any scale. There is instructions included on how to clean it, if your water quality causes scale. The outer plastic does get very warm, but not enough to burn; you can still touch it without incident. The opening is large enough and the lid pops open far enough to get our hands in there to clean. It does have a two year warrenty; hopefully I won’t have to use it and find out if that process is easy or onerous.Now the con: the water level window is almost impossible to see. I knew this before ordering, because of the other comments. I ordered it anyway, because people were happy with the general quality of construction (The different brand kettle I previously purchased, as mentioned before, was flimsy and sat tilted on a base that would not sit correctly on the counter). We are doing what one of the other reviewers said they were doing, gauging the water level via the screws inside the kettle (see picture). 1/4 inch below top screw is maximum fill. 1/2 inch above lower screw gives us exactly two cups, based on the size of our cups. We fill accordingly, based on what we need the hot water for. Check out your own kettle in case it may be slightly different, and memorize your preferred water levels, because reading that water window is going to be almost impossible. Turn on every light, and hold it up to a sunny window, have your husband shine a flashlight on it, and jiggle it a little, and you might, if you’re lucky, see where the water line is. Now memorize where that waterline falls with the screws on the inside.I used to do usability studies for a Fortune 500, and I’m disappointed they couldn’t have done one to identify the water level window readability issue. I would have given this kettle 5 stars, if I could read that water window. I read a ton of reviews for various kettles, and it seemed this one did not break within a few months (I shall see), so I’m putting up with the window to have a kettle that doesn’t break. Not sure why it’s so hard to design a simple kettle that checks ALL the boxes (sigh). I would have been happy without the window and instead just have marks inside pressed into the inside stainless. All in all, though, it works well for our purposes.

Poor workmanship and terrible aqhelp from company
The handle broke off and the lid will not open. I contacted company and three times they answered asking me for order number. Each time I provided the order number to them but that didn’t satisfy them. They then told me it came from Amazon and I’d have to deal with them but apparently it past return date. I would not recommend this as I received a defective tea pot and no help.

Looks nice but doesn’t work properly
I probably will return it because I didn’t expect to make an effort just to open the kettle.Just wondering what am I going to do when the kettle will be hot. I’m not sure if that’s what supposed to be but when you press the button the top doesn’t open automatically.

Works very well and quickly. Looks cool. Bought the Charm toaster to match. Gorgeous happy red color.

Es un producto muy bueno, puesto que sirve para protegernos de las radiaciones emitidas por el microondas. Hierve el agua de inmediato y su mejor función, es que se apaga automáticamente. Graciss añ proveedor por la excelente calidad de su producto. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Very clean lines. Gets the job done.
