Bought this on a whim and so far it works lighting fast - especially if you need to boil water quickly. Only complaint is that you have to dry it out (like with a paper towel) as on the dish rack turned over it does not completely dry even after many hours. Not sure why. It's useful and I will keep it.

I love my new Chefman teapot. Not only can you boil water, but you can select the exact temperature. The tea infuser works great for loose leave tea and it lights up red when heating, green when done, and white for standby mode. I also like that it is see through glass.

I've been using this for a few weeks so far and have found it to work very nicely, especially for the price. The main downside is that it's somewhat hard to clean because of a narrow opening, but I've experienced the same with other electric kettles. Solid all around!

This is an awesome electric tea kettle. I was skeptical about it being too complicated, but it is not. I love that I can set it at 185 degrees for my tea and it will heat up to that exact degree then the RED lights turn GREEN and I know it's ready! It's fast and the set up was easy. I use it without the center tea strainer, but I was thinking that I may use it for brewing Tropical black tea then refrigerating it for ice teas like I buy at restaurants. Bought one for our daughter and she loves it as much as I do. We used it this Christmas for our Hot Cocoa Station and it was perfect!

I love this kettle. Heats quickly and shuts off. But it will try to heat back up if the temperature drops, so I unplug it when making tea. I use it to make tea, mostly. The extra large tea bag for gallon size tea fits perfectly in the basket that attaches to the lid. I haven't used it for loose leaf tea yet, but I think it will be fine.

Very happy with this kettle so far! It's nice and heavy so feels solid. Heats pretty quickly and I like seeing the temperature to know where it's at. Have used different setting, but haven't yet made tea in the actual kettle. I also like that when it's full and I pour the water, it doesn't dribble from around the spout.

I just used it once so far. It’s a nice design and seems to work like it describes

I have just started using and it is working very well

This was great for the first month we had it. But as we've continued to use it it leaks I to the base every time we heat water. I have to put a towl around it so water doesn't leak all over the counter. It leaks probably a 1/4 cup each time. Some of the water works its way out while heating. The rest drips out of the bottom while pouring hot water into something. I loved the idea of glass to see the level easier but this leaks terribly. I saw lots of great reviews so really disappointed. Maybe it's just ours. I'd take it back but don't have the box

For the record, the stainless steel bottom on this unit interacts with the boiling water, thereby leaving a bad taste. It's not that noticeable with dark teas, but the foul taste is amplified with green and herbal teas. The water from my Farberware tea kettle (same boron-silicate glass, but with a different metal bottom) tastes great. I hate they stopped making them. i thoroughly cleaned the Chefman kettle for what it's worth. The only thing I do like is the tea infuser. For what it's worth, the area I live in has soft water.
