Works great for boiling water for Tea. Like many others said earlier, the lid does not open and shut smoothly. I had to boil and discard the water a few times before I started using the kettle as it has quite a strong smell of plastic initially. I like the detachable cord feature and the compact design of the kettle.
 Proctor Silex K2070H 1-Quart Automatic Electric Kettle, White November 11, 2008
This piece of merchandise is the first that I did not care for.
After heating up several quarts of water, the water still had a chemical, unappetizing taste to it.
Amazon.com should not sell merchandize that rates minus five stars.
I was totally disappointed and I will never ever purchase a Proctor Silex product again.
 Great for what it's designed to do November 11, 2008
I've had this kettle for three months now and it's worked like a charm. I use it to boil water for tea, oatmeal and cup o' noodles ever so often. A full container boils in about a minute or two and shuts of automatically.
Three things to watch out for though:
1) The cord it comes with is only about two feet long. Thankfully, the cord is pretty generic. I had a longer one lying around from my old printer.
2) After a couple of months of daily use the heating irons will start to accumulate water mineral deposits. I've cleaned it in the following way and it's flawless:
Pour in about one cup vinegar, three cups water and boil. Let sit about 15-20 minutes and pour out. Then pour in about a half cup lemon juice, two cups water, boil and pour out. It comes out like new and the vinegar smell virtually disappears.
3) When the kettle shuts off automatically it doesn't beep, you just hear the click of the boil switch as it goes back to off mode. This may not be enough if you're planning to turn it on and leave the room and/or use it in a noisy environment.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with this little boiler.
Works better than higher priced models November 4, 2008
Heats a full quart of water in under 5 minutes. Easy to use. What is there not to like?
I'm a Tea Lover November 3, 2008
I am very pleased with this electric kettle, which I use at my desk at work. My co-worker also ordered the same one. It works very well & is very convenient for office use. The only thing that we both noticed is that the cord is very, very short & an extension cord is almost essential.
