Summary: The Plastic Smell Wouldn't Dissipate
Comment: I bought this kettle over 2 months ago, for its compact size, to sit on my desk at work. But, after over a dozen washing - at first with dish soap and even tried soaking in vinegar once - plus dozens of pot of boiled water, it still makes the water smell like plastic. The smell continues to overwhelm the tea I try to make. I finally gave up and tossed it in the trash today.

Summary: I HATE it! ($15...)
Comment: 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. 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. (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?)

Summary: Great product
Comment: 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.

Summary: You get what you paid for
Comment: I bought this kettle because of its size and price. 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. However, I still feel the smell of plastic in boiled water after one month of use.

Summary: Miracle for Tea Lovers
Comment: This makes having a cup of tea effortless! I cannot say enough about this product. 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. It works great for college dorm rooms, studios, or even a household that is sick of putting a kettle on the stove! It also enhances the flavor of your tea and tastes extremely better than microwaved water (and it's faster too)!
