It boils water. And it looks red. Yay
Update: the tea filter broke and thus the auto shutoff as well (fix this with a towel on the top of the kettle). There’s a fragile plastic rod that attaches to either a string or a spring that controls the tea filter’s mounting. It broke for me and just flopped downwards instead of shutting the kettle. Managed to get a replacement, but I wouldn’t get this exact model.
Probably depends on the area you live in. I am in EU and got myself a 4 temp setting glass kettle for 30eur in 2020. Some cheap no-name brand. It got battle-scarred from time. Bottom LED ring has only 2 LEDs working. There are cracks all over the plastic ring on the bottom with small chunks missing. But other than that, it works and does it’s job as if I bought it yesterday.
In the end, all of them work exactly the same so there is not exactly a much difference in some cheap ass one compared to say Tefal or similar mainstream brands. And 30 euro for 5+ years and thousands of hot beverages is more than fair in my opinion.
Mine looks like this
