Starting off, we have a Cuisinart coffee grinder and brewer that is over 10 years old and still working fine. That is why we decided to get a Cuisinart tea kettle when our old one finally died.

This is an excellent and handy product, but unfortunatley, we are on our third kettle. They have had a life span of about three years.

Quite happy with this kettle. Seems to boil quite quickly and slightly less noisy than our old kettle. Have got into the habit of switching it off at the wall thanks to the permanent blue light, but maybe no bad thing.
