I really liked this kettle, it did exactly what i needed it to do and did it well. My tea was always well steeped in the temperature of the water that came out and i even used the boiled water to put directly onto the stove in pots for faster boiling.However, a month and a half into owning it the automatic shutoff stopped working. When this happens and it goes unnoticed it will boil down to nothing, or in a more dangerous situation the handle and kettle become extremely hot and boiling water starts to spurt out the mouth if you were up to the top water level. This was extremely scary in a home with my toddler son running near the counters.I have emailed Aroma since my return window with amazon has closed and if it goes poorly i will likely update this review. I may try to open a discussion with amazon as well.
