Cannot manually shut off. Lengthy reset time.
By frida k
Having used a basic Black and Decker for the last 7 years, this Bodum - though cute - is quite irritating to deal with. I liked the size and the aesthetic appeal, but it has proven to be too quirky for my daily use.
First, the unit cannot be manually shut off. So when I want hot, but not boiling water, I can take it off of the base but once the pitcher has been replaced, the unit will continue to boil what is remaining in the pitcher. A huge waste of energy.
Second, if I want more than the small pitcher's worth of water to be boiled, the unit will not allow me to immediately boil a new batch of water. It has to stand and cool down for a lengthy period of time before it will allow another boil. This is in the unit's manual, but seems an unnecessary and annoying feature having spent 7 years with a kettle that allows immediate reuse.

Know it's limitations
By nojoka
When I first got this I was very pleased with the looks and it boiled water fine. Then after I was done I set it back on its base to gaze at it's beauty. Then the LED lit up to signal it had tuned itself back on. It realized there was no water present and turned off, only to come back on a few minutes later. The outside of the kettle was getting very hot while that was happening.
The problem was that I had removed the kettle from the base when the water started to boil instead of waiting for the kettle to first switch itself off. This is a really annoying aspect of this kettle. The ON switch should be a ON/OFF switch. You HAVE to let the kettle boil and in turn reset it's ON button. If you place it on the base without water in it with the ON button pressed in it will not reset the button. It just turns the LED on and off every couple minutes or so. Then it gets extremely hot to the touch. It's really the perfect size for my desk though so I will deal with the quirks.
Summary
Let it turn itself off after you boil water unless you want to waste electricity and possibly burn your house down.

Good for travel - no regrets
By T. Ryan
I purchased this small kettle for occasional use while traveling. It fits nicely in my carry-on size suitcase. So far it has endured airport baggage handlers on two trips. It is a simple device that meets my need for small size over functionality.
For home use I really like the Breville SK500XL Ikon that my wife purchased from Amazon about a year ago. We use it almost daily.
