We bought three of it!
We've bought three of the same product. One for home, one for my husband's office, and one for my school dorm. And I think it a good gift for single friend. It does the job well and I cannot think of anything to complain.

You get what you pay for
It's probably better if you don't use it everyday, but in the winter I am drinking tea almost everyday. It works fine, but eventually you will see that the metal from the coil starts to wear off and the plastic starts to melt. Also not very easy to clean.

Highly recommended
We bought one of these for our large office kitchen. It's worked beautifully and has seen a lot of use. A product that can withstand multiple users is a recommended product in my book. We have had various products to heat water over the years and they all wore out or broke in a year or so. One appliance we tried had the heating element inside the carafe and gave the water a burned plastic taste. The Proctor Electric Kettle is over 2 years and works like new.
My only complaint (and why it didn't get five stars) is how the lid opens - I have problems with that since it doesn't tilt all the way open to make adding water as easy as possible. But it opens wide enough to fit under the faucet. The unit sits nicely on its base. I like that the cord isn't attached to the carafe itself - that's a positive safety and style feature.
There are pricier models of electric kettles that look more elegant that may have more bells and whistles, but for the price, this one is well worth the money.
