Wonderful little kettle - 5.5 years in use!
I have to add this review, just to address the concerns of longevity which I read about in some of the other reviews. I purchased this kettle in August 2003, and I have used it *at least* once a day since then for my daily fix of tea. I must say, for a $30 little plastic kettle, I could never have expected this kind of performance. But almost 6 years later, it's chugging along every day, and it's now being used 3-4 times a day, by my roommates as well. One other reviewer is right, there are some rust spots on the heating element, but I think that is to be expected on any metal heating element. Moreover, nothing that could not be removed with some sort of descaler, I would expect. As the name of the product indicates, it *is* a mini-kettle - I find that the 'Max' level marker corresponds to about 3 mugs of tea or coffee. So probably not the kettle of choice for a large family or household. But for an office, college dorm room, or any other such scenario, this is a fantastic fit. The functionality works perfectly - shuts off every time, boils very quickly, and endlessly reliable. Fantastic buy! A no-brainer.

Great Compact Model
I have nothing but praise for this mighty little electric kettle. Boil water super fast, and has a very small footprint. Have had no trouble with it in 6 months+.
(Note): I use this about 2-3 times a week.
