" ... I like it, I want a kettle with stainless steel inside, this is what I want! ... "
" ... Purchased this particular kettle because it is stainless steel with no plastic touching the water. ... It's the best of both worlds, a safe stainless interior for boiling water and a cool plastic exterior to avoid possible burns. ... "

" ... I like the tough build, detachable heating base, and it matches my company colors. ... "
" ... I have had other electric kettles over the last ten years, but none as good as this one, here is why: 1) Durable: I've had this kettle over 3 years and it's still going strong, it's the longest lasting electric kettle I've had, my kettles get a lot of use. ... It will only feel vaguely warm on your hand because it's well insulated. ... "
" ... Looks good and all stainless interior. ... "

" ... If I need to boil water for cooking - I have cake recipes that call for boiling water stirred in at the end or I tend to use bouillon concentrates - it takes very little time at all, so I don't need to worry that the water won't be boiled and I'm waiting on a step. ...

" ... The double wall steel construction holds the warmth in way better than glass and you don’t have to worry about it breaking. ... "

" ... Heavy duty but not too heavy to hold. ... "
" ... I guess that's why Tom Secura put his name on it, he does seem like a sturdy fella! ... "
" ... No worries, it doesn't explode or fall over. ... "
" ... It's easy to hold and handle, the lid opens easily and has a sturdy hinge that seems unlikely to break any time soon, its interior is fully stainless, and it has the conventional non-digital toggle-lever control that seems to be the correct way to do the job dependably. ... "
