Doctor Whaaaa…?: Attractive, easy to use, maintains temperature; mainly used for pour-over coffee; excellent item for that purpose.

Lynn : I had high expectations for this good looking kettle. It worked great for about 9 months. All of a sudden, when turned on, it would shut down and I'd have to press the button about 5 times for it to kick in to get it to boil. Very disappointed as this isn't in the cheap kettle category, but it performs as a cheap item. I'm now in the market for a new kettle and it will not be a Polivar.

Nanci CartwrightNanci Cartwright: We’ve had this teakettle for 5 months now and love it. Zero issues with it. No crazing of the dial, heats water fast and pours easily. Although we drink coffee in the morning, we drink tea in the afternoon and sometimes in the evening. We have suddenly become tea connoisseurs and must have ten varieties of tea that we’ve ordered online from the Tea Spot in CO.

It did take me a few minutes to figure out how the controls work. The information they send is very confusing. I figured it out from reading reviews, lol. It’s simple. Press on and then boil, to get it to heat to 212 degrees. Most teas want the full boil of 212 degrees but some don’t need to be that hot. The Tea Spot tells you on the package. In that case, once it starts to heat, keep an eye on the temp as it rises and hit the warm/hold button when it reaches the temperature that you want. If you’ve selected boil after you turn it on, once it reaches 212, it will turn off and start cooling down. You can hit the warm/hold button at any point to stop that if you want to keep the water hot. Press the on/off button to turn it back off. The basic lights will stay on when plugged in...

myminimaliststyle: Easy to use, although the manual instructions were horrible. I figured out how to set the temp for making Green Tea. This electric kettle heats up faster than stovetop kettles. There is no annoying whistling sound; which is a must have feature at 1am. It is a beauty to look at! (I got the green color) I love the spout and the handle. This kettle makes my whole tea experience feel special!

Ryan FlemingRyan Fleming: it's gorgeous and feels substantial and high quality. quick to boil , intuitive controls , allows one to pour very precisely and slowly for specialty coffees , which is what we mainly use it for , and the temperature is accurate. keep warm feature is handy , but mainly I want to stress how NICE it looks and feels . I'm always glancing across the kitchen for it and I go out of my way (making way too many coffees) just for how satisfying it is to pour figure 8s and different shapes into my aeropress (which is a very small chamber ! ) and seeing the coffee grinds bloom.

Kumar VoraKumar Vora: It’s been only 6 months and the paint on the control has already started to chip away. I am thoroughly disappointed that otherwise, this well-made, smoothly-functioning, lovely-looking kettle is beginning to wear out so quickly.

Alberta Tested: This kettle pour very nicely. Well build for the price. Lid is insulated and stay in place with silicon gasket. Water temperature over shoot by a few degrees when kettle is half full but will settle very precisely with the keep warm function. The handle and knob are made of plastic but somewhat looks like wood from a distance (won't crack over time, no need for oil). My complain is only that the back light from buttons and logo won't turn off unless you unplug the unit. I don't like my devices to use power when not in use. It was almost perfect. I decided to pay more for the Fellow Stagg.

Dogs are superior to cats : I love this kettle. I make matcha and green teas and those have specific, often low, temperature needs. The temp on this kettle is always spot-on, and it heats quickly - faster to boiling than my stove kettle. I often pick a task to complete in the kitchen (empty dishwasher, make toast or eggs) and race against the water getting to my desired temp - I pretty much never win. The temp can be set to any specific number - most kettles (even at this price point) have a few pre-set temps, but this allows for much more customization.

I use the boiling water temp for steaming veggies or making pasta on the stove. I have a gas stove, and since 1 liter from the kettle usually covers my needs, it feels a lot less wasteful than waiting for the water to boil in a pot on the gas burners. I just add the water from the kettle to the pot when it hits 200 and am ready to add the food to the pot.

The kettle is beautiful. I have no issues leaving it out on my counter, as I feel like it makes my kitchen prettier than most appliances do. The temp and power buttons aren’t huge and aren’t aesthetically distracting. I ordered a couple other well-rated kettles...

Beth Offutt: Every surface has a good finish. Both kettle and base are about 1 lb 9 oz. each. They connect with three concentric circles, so pot need to be where it can be lifted straight up. Holds a full liter. Comes to the set heat fast. The ready tone is very soft, but you can hear the heating water rumble. There is a little click just before right temp, the setting changes so water doesn't overheat. This pot needs at least 2 cups to work. For a just one cup of water set for 175 degrees, it overheats, plainly the mechanism can't weigh and adjust for low volume. Works fine with 16 oz. The settings are easy to use, the spout pours fast and accurately, it's shape was part of the reason to buy. Interesting finding the best brew temp for various teas and coffees.
