I loved the look of this kettle and so bought it. Don't. I had to send mine back after a week. The switch was defective and would not stay on. The design does not allow for pouring once the amount of water is below about three cups. Once the water level is down the water starts to pour out of the lid as well as the spout. I bought for looks...a mistake, unfortunately.

I bought this electric kettle for my neice to match other Kalorik small appliances I purchased for her last year. She was pleased with it, but she has yet to use it.

This is a great looking sleek pot. Works well and quickly boils water. It's our first hot water pot and I'm can't imagine why I didn't have one before,

It looks good and it works. Boils water quickly and is very stylish looking. The handle and the lid is made out of plastic, which makes it feel cheap. I think this would have been a better purchase if it cost $45 instead. Not worth the $$$ I paid for it.

I purchased this electric kettle because of the design, but now I think I should have gotten a $20 or $30 dollar one that is plastic, because when you boil the water, if you fill the kettle above 50%, then the water spills out of the spout and the front of the lid cover. Overall I would recommend buying a cheaper one, although the design is modern, the electric kettle was slightly disappointing.

I love this product! I purchased this because I was drawn by both the claim that it heated water fast (it does) and by the sleek look. It fulfilled all my expectations. A bonus is that it takes up very little counter space (every little bit counts!). It heats quite a bit of water (again, taking up very little space) and does so quickly. I also like the safety features such as the automatic off switch. I have not had this very long, but it seems very well-built and has worked perfectly so far. Overall I am very pleased with the product.
