This thing is amazing... I use it for anything I need boiling water for. Ramon, tea, hummingbird feeder... anything that calls for hot water fantastic. ❤️ it!This thing is very simple: pour in water to the fill line, place the jug on the stand (which you've already plugged in), and throw the switch. In a few minutes, it'll boil and switch off. You can lift the jug from the base and pour your hot water.I chose this kettle for its large volume. Pouring hot water is a good way to clear a slow drain, and I've found this is a great tool for that job.I should preface this by saying I am a night owl and I have six roommates. I don't like making too much noise ever because we all have varying schedules, work and sleep alike. The fact that this kettle is quiet was the main selling point, along with the capacity. I had been keeping my gallon resto stovetop kettle in the kitchen but it took super long. As long as you rinse the kettle and boil a few rounds of tap water in it and dump it out, there's no smell/taste to the water that you'd use for your tea/pour over coffee/whatever. Obviously never run it empty and always make sure the lid is completely closed before use.Best one soo far.Noo issues at allI love making my tea the water boils very fastI broke my glass electric kettle. This is an intentional replacement. It is made of plastic. Holds about 1.5L of water. I use the kettle to heat water for washing dishes. Helps to sanitize them.Takes about 5 minutes to get a full boil. But once it does it holds on to the heat for a good hour or so. You can feel the heat on the outside of the container So if you are careful with it, no problems, it will do the job.I’m a braider so I use this for my clients braids works wonderful!This make and model of kettle has lasted better than any other I’ve ever had.Everything about the cattle is great the only issue is the cord doesn’t fit perfectly flush through the slit at the bottom of the base like some of the other kettle steel it’s the only gripe and it’s very small one but for the price and the quality and it looks nice it’s worth itWorks just fine. But. The base is backwards if you wish to keep it under your countertop. ie. you will have a steam build up. Other kettles have a centre based port for the kettle to sit in. This is NOT. It’s off set and to the wrong side. Good for camping or in a open kitchen area. I would not buy again.Il n'a pas de barrure pour maintenir le couvercle ouvert lors du remplissage.sont seul défaut.I don't very often buy electric appliances online but this kettle is a treat to use.Heats well, capacity is perfect. It is a pain to use - the separate base is annoying. If you can get used to that, it's a good product
