Being shallow, I fancied adding another piece of stainless steel kit to glitz up my kitchen worksurfaces. The kettle has a steel band around the bottom of a clear plastic jug. As another manufacturer recalled its glass jugged ketttle recently, the plastic is actually very reassuring and seems pretty tough so far.
In true 21st century kitsch style you get a blue LCD light illuminating the frantic bubbling water. You push a button to automatically open the lid for filling (all nice and easy). A flat clear projecting peg at the bottom provides the on switch- although I did a double take in the first week because I'm so used to pushing in a button at the top to power up. There is no minimum marking and the measurements are in cups (1.5 cups fills a mug). The fact that you can see the complete water level as opposed to just a cut away has meant that I am more conscious of how much water I put in -which will hopefully mean a few pence saved off my electricity bill.
There is a little water condensation/drip on the metal power base at times and I've taken to mopping this up (never noticed it on my previous white jug kettle). And it does boil faster than its predecessor, so I can feel less guilty about replacing something just on the basis of looks.
===review update 20 July 2008===== More and more I kept hearing a strange noise coming from the kettle as though it was trying to boil- Occasionally it refused to cut off and kept fiercely boling. I've tagged this down to the absolute necessity to keep the base wiped from any drips- otherwise it gets in the electrics (ie the central columnn the kettle sits on). My other half has the previous more opaque version at his work address and this does not leave drips on the base. It just seems to be down to the angle of the spout- rather bizarre as I've never noticed this on any other kettles.
Since I've started meticulously wiping up the drips it seems to be behaving fine.
