Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After traveling abroad and experiencing the convenience of electric kettles, I researched numerous brands/models here in the US, most with very mixed reviews. I decided on the Bella for the look and lack of negative reviews that so many other brands had. This kettle is beautiful and works perfectly and efficiently. I timed the length of a full pot to boil and compared to the same amount in a pan on the stove and in the microwave and it is significantly shorter in the Bella Kettle. The spout makes pouring even a full pot easy. I also like the sanitary aspect of the ceramic pot, and no plastic in contact with the water. It looks beautiful on my kitchen counter and I've had quite a few compliments on it. It is used daily for tea and french press coffee. Great value. The only "wish list" item would be an audible sound when the water came to a boil, but the blue light on the switch goes off and there is a slight click when the switch turns off.
