Dual water-level indicators; easy-open lid with security lock for safety
Editorial Review:
Housed in a smooth, modern-looking design, this 1000-watt electric kettle rapidly boils up to 1 quart of water for coffee, tea, instant soups, and more. The unit features a detachable cord and a nonspill spout for graceful serving, plus a generous handle with a secure grip. Its immersed heating element provides a rapid and quiet heating process, making it ideal for the office, home, or college dorm. Dual water-level indicators allow for convenient filling, and the unit's easy-open lid is designed with a security lock to prevent spilling. And there's no need to worry about leaving it on, the kettle automatically shuts off when the water boils, and its boil-dry protection keeps the unit from boiling when there's no water left

Ideal
Works great for boiling water for Tea. Like many others said earlier, the lid does not open and shut smoothly. I had to boil and discard the water a few times before I started using the kettle as it has quite a strong smell of plastic initially. I like the detachable cord feature and the compact design of the kettle.
Proctor Silex K2070H 1-Quart Automatic Electric Kettle, White
This piece of merchandise is the first that I did not care for.
After heating up several quarts of water, the water still had a chemical, unappetizing taste to it. Amazon.com should not sell merchandize that rates minus five stars. I was totally disappointed and I will never ever purchase a Proctor Silex product again.
Great for what it's designed to do
I've had this kettle for three months now and it's worked like a charm. I use it to boil water for tea, oatmeal and cup o' noodles ever so often. A full container boils in about a minute or two and shuts of automatically.
Three things to watch out for though:
1) The cord it comes with is only about two feet long. Thankfully, the cord is pretty generic. I had a longer one lying around from my old printer.
2) After a couple of months of daily use the heating irons will start to accumulate... more info
Works better than higher priced models
Heats a full quart of water in under 5 minutes. Easy to use. What is there not to like?
