I have had this for a couple years and it works great. It is very expensive, it was $99 when I bought it, but I used rewards points to buy it. A $10 kettle from Walmart works just as good, the biggest advantage this has is that you can control the temp. You can heat the water up to precisely 60c which wont burn my mouth. I use this setting for tea. I originally bought this kettle to make coffee, I watched all the youtube vids and they were doing the sales stuff that you need a gooseneck kettle to make the best coffee.... I stopped drinking coffee because I learned how unethical it is, and I get addicted to coffee and I end up having massive headaches from caffeine.Soooo. In reality I probably couldn've just gotten a cheap kettle and been fine, my mom had a cheap kettle from Walmart that I also love. This kettles main advantage is that you can control the temp. It also comes with an easy to clean plastic cover which I like. Overall this has been a good kettle. I leave water in it all the time and I haven't seen any rust yet so the stainless is of good enough quality (just because something says stainless doesn't mean they use a good stainless steel). Overall I have been happy with this kettle, because it has a spout it is on the fragile side, that spout does flex a little, so you can't be super rough with it, but I have moved and it survived the move with care.
