I purchased a Chemex coffee carafe and I decided it was too much trouble to boil water on my stove. This kettle is great. It has a measure so you don't have to measure the water before you put it in, and it's fast! It shuts itself off when it reaches boiling which is perfect because for the Chemex, the water needs to be just below boiling temperature. I looked at many others which were far more expensive. This is just what I wanted, for a great price. I love Overstock.com

Very favorable performance from this item. Well packaged and shipped. Instructions for use clear and accurate. Far faster to make boiling water for tea or instant soup than using a microwave or stove top kettle. Not mentioned in advertising but useful, a filtering mesh on the spout. On-Off switch returns to Off position after reaching full temperature. Exactly as I expected the item to be.

I first used this type of kettle in France on a visit there. It heats up water extremely fast and hotter than a microwave. I find boiling water on a stove better than microwave (somehow tastes better) but stove top takes a long time. This works great and automatically turns off when water boiled so don't have to run to the stove anymore for a whistling tea kettle.

Does a great job of heating up water, fast and convenient. Is a bit noisy but that is livable.

Finally I can stop heating water in a pot on the stove!! This electric kettle is easy to use and very convenient to have since I am a regular tea drinker. In fact, I use it anytime hot water is needed in the kitchen for things such as instant soups. The process is fast and I fill the jug directly from the water dispenser on the fridge. I must caution that you follow the manufactures' instruction of boiling and discarding water 3-4 different times BEFORE you actually use the 5th boil to avoid the "new product" taste. I really enjoy using this kettle and I know that you will be happy with this purchase.

Bought one for myself and a coworker and we love it! I have had it for a couple of weeks and it boils water quickly, shuts off on its own, and has had no issues. Convenient and so far has held up. At this price, even if it lasts only for a year it would be worth it for the convenience factor. It also is much lighter and takes up less space than my conventional Creuset kettle. Also really nice that the actual kettle is cordless, making it easy to move from counter to counter, or counter to table.

This kettle is much faster than boiling water in a pot on the stove. Great for tea, pasta, or pretty much anything that uses hot water. Auto shut-off is a nice feature for the absent-minded. Cord is pretty long. Compared to other electric kettles I have used, this one is completely average.

I purchased this to use with my french press - it works great. My children also used it for ramen noodles lol. Would be a great appliance for the work place. I have upgraded to a digital since purchasing this as my needs were for exact temp. not just boiling water. Great product at great price.

I have used it for few weeks and until now it is working great. It boils water faster than my previous one. I do not recognize any plastic taste after 3 times boiling fresh water as direction said. It's quality is good for its price, and if you want something better, you have to pay more.

So far I love my new kettle. I use it every day to heat water to brew my iced tea. I also use it frequently for hot tea and cooking (getting the water for pasta, cassoroles, etc). I love the fact that it turns of automatically since I am easily distracted and walk away often. I had an insta-heat in my last house and loved having hot water available all the time but they are expensive so I was unable to install on in this home and this is just about as wonderful. In just a few minutes I have hot water. I just turn it on, go about my business and it is ready when I get back.

We needed a kettle for when our friends/family visited who love tea. This is perfect for that. Good price.

I bought this for the office after reading the reviews. Good kettle but could use a longer cord - it's really short!

this jug is great value for the money. It boils quickly, and doesn't take up much counter space. It can feel a little wobbly getting it into the cradle sometimes, but no matter - at this price it's a steal.

Really love the jug!!! Much faster then microwave to heat a cup of water for tea. Can't do without it now. Excellent value for the money. Would highly reccomend to anyone.

I purchased this item for an elderly relative who is unable to use a stove and I feared she would have problems with boiling water in a microwave. She loves her jug kettle and uses it every day. It is serving her well.
