Having had two electric tea kettles break within a month, I went shopping for a new one. Of the three brands I looked at in the department store, including this one, all were manufactured in China. However, I haven't regretted my choice. It's a bit slow coming to the boil when full, and the button knob on the lid is rather small, but aside from those niggles, this is a nice unit. It has a brushed steel finish and is a bit on the heavy side even when empty, but I don't see that as a disadvantage as it can't be easily knocked over and it boils up quietly.
The power is supplied to the solid round base on which the kettle sits, so there's no cord attached to the kettle itself. The element is hidden in the base of the kettle, so there's no fussing with de-scalers and the inside of the kettle is easy to clean. A removable filter sits in the spout and the handle does not get hot. There's a see-through filler window on both sides of the unit, making it suitable for left- and right-handers.
All in all, good value for money.
