I hadn't really thought of more than a working instant-off switch as a requirement, because my last tea kettle did lift off of a docking station and did have a lid you could open. It just didn't turn off until half the water had boiled away.

So I bought this one, it is inexpensive and the one reviewer loved it.

It never occurred to me that a cord could be so incredibly inconvenient, but there is no way to detach the kettle and cord, not even a plug at the kettle.

Moreover, the kettle really has no opening save for the spout. That is fine for now, but if anything gets in there, we're pretty much stuck. You can't even see inside.

It may last us a long time, but I'm definitely going to look for a cordless kettle next time, or at least for one that I can unplug at the base.

I owned this same kettle before had it for years never gave me any trouble and boils very fast like in one minute, I replaced it because the enamel on the bottom was melted off simply because it was accidently left to boil dry, this kettle did not have a boil dry safety feature as this new kettle does, I wanted this feature back again as I had it on the same model years ago that I purchased in Canada. For the money you can not go wrong with this kettle it is fast, and last years. I will always be loyal to this particular model kettle as long as they manufacture them and this company I will purchase from also.
