Does what it is supposed to although a family member thinks the water doesn't get hot enough. (Not as hot as our other kettle). But since we bought this mostly for travel it does the trick. There is no base, just a little lever you push up (seemed counterintuitive as I kept trying to push down). Once
I figured that out I was ok. You get what you pay for and I won't use this for everyday but like I said, for travel it will definitely do the trick.

I like the size, weight and price. It heats quickly and the heating indicator let's you know when it is done heating. There is a screen over the spout that prevents anything from getting inside the unit. It is easy to clean. The cord can be detached. I would recommend this product.

Good kettle. Does the job. Gets 4 stars and not 5 simply because it's fit-for-purpose and not as funky/cool/trendy as a more expensive option/brand. If you simply want to boil water for a cup of coffee or tea, then this suffices. I'm happy with the price I paid for the product I got.

does the job without blowing the circuit breaker

March 16, 2013 Update. We still love this pot. This has had heavy use; my husband must use it 8 times a day, every day. I've had it a year. The switch just broke. In my previous update that one lasted a year also. I still recommend it, but you should know that if you use it all day long it will last
only about a year. I plan to buy another because it only uses ONLY 1000 watts, so it doesn't trip the circuit breaker and IS LIGHT WEIGHT, which is good if you have weak hands or wrists. ======================== Now I have had this pot a year. The on/off switch just broke. Nevertheless I am buying another because it has just the right size and function that I want. It is easy to fill and is lightweight, which is important if your hands are a bit weak with arthritis. It was used a lot so I guess one year of constant use is OK for the price. ==================================== I have had my electric kettle now for 4 months. I still love it and still have not noticed a plastic-like taste. This pot is used at least 7 times per day and it has held up well. We love it. PROS: 1. Automatic shut-off--a safety feature 2. Wattage low enough not to break the circuit breaker (it IS 1000 watts, though) 3. On-off switch 4. Detachable cord - Can unplug the electric wire from both the pot and the outlet 5. Economical price and usage 6. Quicker than the stove 7. Does not COMPLETELY shut off when kettle has no water. It shuts off then goes back on then shuts off repeatedly. (If you discover this you unplug it and wait 20 min. before refilling it.) Some pots do not actually shut down when empty. 8. Because it is plastic, the outside does not get overly hot to the touch (unless you keep touching it), a safety feature. CONS: 1. Small capacity (but easily refillable) 2. Does not keep the temperature hot (but heats rapidly at room temperature, and the ones that keep it hot may be expensive or have no automatic shut off, which is a must for safety) 3. Does not COMPLETELY shut off when kettle has no water. It shuts off then goes back on then shuts off repeatedly. (If you discover this you unplug it and wait 20 min. before refilling it.) Some pots do not actually shut down when empty. I gave this 5 stars because it does just what I need for the economical price. Only the very expensive pots have all good features. This tea kettle is simple in that it heats the water and automatically shuts off when the water comes to a rolling boil (when the bubbles get to be very large and rocket up from the bottom of the pot, breaking the surface vigorously moving the water). Keep the lid pushed tightly in when it is on for the shut-off to work. The sides do get hot to touch with my palm after 1 - 2 seconds just after a full boil. That is more than you would have with an uninsulated metal pot. If you have young children, they must be told not to touch just as you would not let them touch the sides of a stove top tea kettle. The directions are simple and come with the pot. Also, when it shuts off, for some reason the water stays pretty warm for awhile which is helpful for getting boiling water fast after an hour or so. What I also really like about this kettle is that it doesn't "blow a fuse" in case you have other electricity being used. It is small, but adequate. I like that. It does have a coil in the bottom so you have to use 1 1/2 C. water minimum. The cord is easily detachable. You will have to clean it with vinegar and water from time to time, but I also have to clean the tea kettle on my stove with vinegar and water. Boiling 1 L. of VERY COLD water took 7 min. My gas stove kettle took 9 minutes. A reviewer mentioned the "plastic" smell. It does very mildly exist, however, I use this for instant coffee and tea, and that totally does not affect me. I think anyone who is EXTREMELY sensitive to tastes in tea would be happier with a metal or, even better, a glass pot. However, the 3 typical users in my household do not detect any plastic flavor at all in our tea. You don't HAVE to wait for the water to fully boil to use it. You will hear the heated water before it comes to a rolling boil. For tea, especially delicate green and white ones, you should not even use fully boiling water; there are temperature guides on the internet. If you are on a financial or an electrical budget, this is an excellent pot. You must decide how much you want to spend. The kind of pots that are metal or glass and have a hidden coil cost a lot more, especially if you want them to keep the water hot whenever they are on.

I had one of these pots for 18 years and used it a lot. It is lightweight, easy to store, easy to use and very fast heating. If you want to move the pot, it can unplug at the pot; no large base taking up precious counter space. I did buy again!

I like the fact that the kettle is small and a convenient size. It doesn't take up a lot of space.
