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.
Hi - try the Cuisinart gooseneck kettle! Seriously, better than everything else suggested. Cheaper thank the Fellow.
Warning - the beeps are annoying. It beeps once when you turn it on once when it starts to heat up, then three beeps when it has boiled to your specified temperature. Then a final beep to turn off the base. If you have people sleeping it’s pretty annoying in a small area. I have seen YouTube videos about disabling the sound but I have not done so myself. $130 and I think it’s worth it.
It will do temperatures from 140° f to 205° f in 5° increments. And then boiling temperature 212° f of course

I have had a simpler variable temp kettle for about a decade (https://www.cuisinart.ca/en/perfectemp-cordless-electric-programmable-kettle/CPK-17C.html) which is great for tea (Why we got it in the first place). Definitely consider upgrading my cheap gooseneck with the cuisinart one.
