Although not purchased from Amazon I am compelled to leave a review for this kettle. Having several others over the last 24 months, all going wrong, not boiling, not stopping boiling and one leaking. We decided to get a Dualit kettle, because we had had the same story with toasters then bought a Dualit toaster which has lasted longer and is still going strong (touch wood). So I can recommend the toasters too.
As for this model of kettle, it is much much quieter than the other kettles we have had, although it looks solid and is solid, I was worried it would be heavy when filled with water but it is not as heavy as our old kettle and is a fine weight, being a slim built woman with a wrist problem on the right wrist so can't lift heavy things but find this fine. The view window measurment is in cups, it has cord storage in the base. The main thing I noticed and I am surprised that no-one else has mentioned this is the pouring spout, it is such a good pourer, no drips, no spills, no splashes, it pours beautifully, other kettles we have had, if you tip them up too much the water goes everywhere, and if you didn't tip them up enough the water would dribble down the kettle, I remember with the last kettle everytime I poured it thinking, "now I must try and not get water everywhere" and I usually did. With this model not one drip, no kidding, I was amazed, even my hubby, was like wow what a difference pouring water out of this new kettle and he usually never ever comments on anything to do with domestic appliances.
