I love my new kettle! It's beautiful to be able to watch the tea change color as it brews. The combination of glass and stainless is the perfect mix. Stylish, and no plastic taste! It's easy to use, and has a lot of different settings for different teas! Every tea I've tried tastes amazing. I also love using this to make boiling water for ramen cups. I use it multiple times a day, every day. I've owned it for about 2 months now and have experienced zero issues.
To anyone complaining about "white stuff" - that is normal calcium buildup from hard water. It's harmless, and it comes right off with vinegar. I boil the minimum amount of water with a splash of vinegar maybe once every 2 weeks, and it looks as good as new.
