I'm really happy with this kettle. The shape looks great in the kitchen and I love the fact that it's brushed stainless steel, so it's easy to clean, but still has a polished section at the bottom.

It heats water fairly fast. I'm not sure it's much quieter than other kettles, but isn't loud that's for sure. The water gauge doesn't fog up which is certainly a plus. So far no rust or any build up that's required cleaning. Overall I'd say I'm pretty happy with the purchase.

Pretty basic kettle. It serves its purpose effectively though it was only quiet for a a week or so. Since then it’s as loud as any other kettle. Loud enough to not be able to hear the tv in the same room.
All other parts of the kettle work well, and it looks nice. But don’t bother if it’s a quiet kettle you’re after!

Two weeks after warranty expired the lid mechanism crumbled dropping small sharp pieces of black plastic intomthe boiled water. We wondered why the water tastes like plastic! The lid was able to,open and close for a couple more weeks but then completely broke and popped open when the kettle boiled.nowmuseless. I would expect more than a year of normal household use from an electric appliance that cost $100 - and has a name such as 'Aspire" . Very disappointing!
