I bought this as a quick summertime replacement after purchasing a $100 one for the house- at first I thought that I wished it was available the first time I went shopping for one. (So does my neighbor, who happens to have an identical one, which I found out as I was randomly complaining about it).(What can I expect for $15). Then, I realized:-the lid is awkward and leaks steam and water (you have to pour VERY carefully to not be burned and/or leaked on)- the water does indeed taste like plastic (I thought this would go away EVENTUALLY but didn't; boiled vinegar in it and now the water tastes like plastic AND vinegar.).-the auto-shut-off doesn't work regularly. Sometimes it boils for minutes, without shutting off.-cord is VERY short- one must constantly plug/unplug to use- a huge nuisance.I hate it.
Once you own one of these, you will wonder how you ever lived without it. This is easy to use, is faster than a microwave and very well priced.
I bought this kettle because of its size and price. However, I still feel the smell of plastic in boiled water after one month of use. It was really hard to find something moderately priced with 1 Quart capacity. It is not too bad for the price - it has nice look, good form factor, and automatic shut off.
It works great for college dorm rooms, studios, or even a household that is sick of putting a kettle on the stove. This makes having a cup of tea effortless. I cannot say enough about this product. It also enhances the flavor of your tea and tastes extremely better than microwaved water (and it's faster too). I'm able to make a cup of tea in 2 minutes or less by simply filling the jug up to the minimum fill line.
When you pour it, it ran all over the side as well as in the mug. The plug is so short that you are constantly plugging and unplugging it. To dump the water out into the sink, you have to unplug it. I am totally returning this thing. On mine, the auto shut-off didn't work, so it just kept boiling.
