T-Fal Vitesse 1.7L Kettle is ideal for more than just tea
T-Fal BF6520004 Vitesse 1.7L Electric Kettle
Super fast boil, attractive design, well-balanced in hand are my additions to the kudos given by other reviewers.
I do like the concept of variable temps, however, haven't noticed a significant difference. That said, I boil a full pot on the highest setting even if I'm having one mug of tea. The cooled remaining water goes into a jug for regular drinking and coffee prep. The tap water's chemical and chlorine taste is diminished and I'm saving money, and the environment, by not buying bottled water anymore. Win-Win for all!

My favorite kettle yet
I have used this kettle for well over a year now. I like everything about it. I like the automatic turn off feature, the variable temperature settings, the fact that it is cordless and how fast it heats water. I use it to heat water instead of my microwave,

Great kettle
Got this to replace two previous t-fal kettles that worked great but ended up getting burned on my stovetop thanks to my inlaws. This kettle is of similar quality to my previous versions, but it's much bigger which is good and not so good. When you want to make just one cup it's not easy to measure the water because it doesn't even reach the minimum indicator level. Of course the increased capacity is nice when we have guests.
The thing that really makes this a great kettle for my purposes is that when set to the minimum temperature setting the water comes out perfect for brewing green tea, which is all I drink. Also it's done quicker and doesn't waste energy. I'd hate to go back to a kettle that brings water to a full boil all the time.
The only downside is it's made of plastic, and I'm not crazy about eating or drinking anything that has been heated up in plastic due to any chemicals or toxins that may leach out of it. At first there was a burning plastic kind of smell but after the first few uses it went away completely, however I would recommend pouring the first few batches down the drain.
All in all it's been a great kettle for the 6 months I've used it, and I'd recommend it highly.
