I love the look of this kettle! I also love the adjustable temperature control, it's simple, straightforward, and easy. It boils water nice a quick. It is nicely detailed, all the little parts about it are well designed and well made.Some customers noticed a bad odor from the unit, which definitely gave me pause, I did not however, FWIW.Reasons for not giving it 5 stars.-Personally I think it's a little bulky. The number of time that I would need that much capacity is rare, so for everyday use I would have like a unit that would hold less water and thus be a smaller thing to pickup. 60 ozs is a lot of water, besides it boils water super quickly, so there wouldn't be much downside to have it smaller.-Why does it have to beep when the water is hot? Everything beeps these days, I find that irritating. I wish I could toggle off the beeping. That said, it's pretty innocuous, I can live with it.
