Easy to use and operate. Takes about 2 - 3 minutes to start boiling. Self cuts off once hot. . A filter in the pour spout very nice. Used mines to make cinnamon and green tea. Easy to clean. No smoking noted on the base. Blue lights up beautifully. Not heavy. The handles is comfortable to manage. Holds a nice amount of water.

This is the product anyone could use easily. If you want to have hot water on a daily basis then go for it it holds the heat for a more than 2 hours. It boils quickly and it is not changing the taste of the water which I should say. The stainless steel quality is good and would not have any break easily as it is strong even if you are using it with little care and it is easy to wash. Speaking about the auto shut off it will give a sound that would say to us that it is done and the length of the wire is small and if you are planning to use it in a small space go for this. The functionality is really good and it takes 8 minutes - 10 minutes to boil. When I boil it is the stove the vessel will be hot if the handle is not according but here if you are careful in holding this you can easily use it. But immediately after boiling it you can use it but if handled with care if not it is very safe to use after some time if you want to use it easily. Also when compare to the glass this is ok even if it falls down. It is a good option if you are looking something for an auto shut off
