~It holds up to 1.7 liters, plenty for a kettle of tea.
~It boils pretty quickly.
~You can keep the water hot (up to 200 deg) for 120 mins (and if you want longer for some reason, hit "keep warm" again and the timer restarts.)
~It's stainless steel and rather attractive.
~There is a reasonably accurate water level gauge on the outside (so no opening the lid to peer in a dark kettle trying to see how much water is in it or the always fun "lift and guess" method.)
~I haven't tested the temperature accuracies, but it seems to shut off for lower temps. I usually just boil, so it's not a high priority for me.
There are a couple downsides, which if fixed, would make this a five star product for me.
~When the water is to temp, the kettle simply turns off. There is no alert of any type (a beep or chime or something). So you can set it, walk away, and totally forget about it...
~There is no marking (an etched line or a small lip) that I can find on the inside of the kettle to tell where the max fill point is. This can be annoying when filling because the gauge fills slightly slower than the kettle does. I've started filling till it says 1.5 liters, then when it catches up, it's closer to the 1.7 max.
Overall, this is an excellent product. I am quite pleased with it.
I received the product mentioned above for free or greatly discounted in exchange for my review. Regardless, I only recommend products I like and use personally.
