We have had it for over a year for everyday use. It boils water quickly (1.7 liters in about 3 minutes). Beautiful, nice design and the thermometer is very useful. It has a little rust around the lid from the outside. The scale depends on the water quality, so it doesn't matter as an opinion. The biggest negative for us is that it makes a lot of noise while boiling. So much that you can't hear anything anymore. It is completely unsuitable for an apartment due to the noise. It's a shame for us because I did a lot of research before buying it, looking for the decibels in kettles. Unfortunately, almost no one mentions this and it is very important when the bedroom is next door.
