I love this kettle so much!! The water boils SO QUICKLY. I put enough water for myself, clicked the "on" tab on the bottom of the apparatus, turned around to grab my camera so I can send a picture and it was already boiling!!!
It automatically shuts off when it over heats. I love that it's clear glass so I can see it boiling. It's great!! I use it for tea making, for eating instant ramen, etc. It is so much quicker than using my gas stove. Since I live alone, it is so convenient for me.
The only inconvenience is the washing part. I wash but then drying is difficult because the lid doesn't come off and I just leave the lid open to air dry. I can't hang it upside down or anything out of fear of the lid breaking or I drop it and the glass breaks.
Over all very convenient. I think I would have enjoyed using this when I lived in the doorms. I was tempted to put an egg in there to make a boiled egg (HAHA).
