I first got this when I went off to college - that was over 5 years ago! And where is it now? It's in my first apartment after graduating from college! This gadget is amazing. Other people I know have commented how their electric kettles rust if extra/remaining water isn't poured out after each usage. I leave water in there all the time, and reboil it with new water (i hate to waste) and it boils faster than a kettle would on a stove. There's no rust at all, and the water that comes out piping hot does not have a "metal" taste that other electric and non-electric kettles may leave behind. One of the best features of this kettle is that the kettle can be detached from the boiling "plate". However, the one drawback is that the cord isn't too lengthy, so you may need to accommodate your kitchen appliances to fit this one comfortably amidst your other appliances and outlet sockets. Another awesome feature is it's automatic shut off system. As soon as the water boils, the...

Caramela says "this water kettle is a time, space and sanity saver!" about Braun WK200W Electric Water Kettle

I love the braun water kettle -- I've had it (in black) for 1 1/2 years now, and have never had a problem with it. It boils water very fast, doesn't collect "deposits" the way I've heard other kettles do, and boils 2 cups just as well as 10 cups of water -- making it easier to make anything from tea to defrosting frozen veggies in no time, without me having to turn on the stove and watch a pot. It actually makes me make tea before I go to work and bring it with me, where I never used to because I had no time in the morning to worry about a tea kettle on the stove drying out or burning. So in that way, it's even more of a money saver because it keeps me from sending all my money to starbucks!...

Sanders713 says "The best way to make a cup of tea or hot chocolate" about Braun WK200W Electric Water Kettle

I used to boil water for my tea the old fashioned way- on a stove. You know the old saying "A watched pot never boils"? Well sometimes I thought that an unwatched pot never boiled either.
A few years ago, my husband and I got this kettle as a gift. I was skeptical- thinking that I'm going to have yet another useless appliance taking up space on my already crowded counter. After the first time I used it, i put my traditional teapot away. The kettle boiled the water so much faster then the stove.
Plus I have a tendency to walk out of the kitchen and forget that I put water on to boil. Well this kettle turns itself off after it boils the water- a perfect feature for those of us that don't want to burn down their kitchen.
It has little measured out markings, so you can make 2 cups or 12. It's just great!!!

My husband is an avid tea drinker (mostly iced) and I love the occasional pot of Earl Grey. As such, my search for the perfect water-boiler/tea maker was to satisfy several needs. Namely; quickly and easily brew up to a gallon of tea a day, not make a mess, and not burn any pans (or the house).
First we used the Mr. Coffee iced tea maker, which we ended up going thru 2 sets because of inherant flaws: the plastic carafes eventually crack from the spout down and ill-fitting components inevitably lead to spilled tea/water.
Then there was iced tea the old-fashioned way: boil tea bags in the saucepan. Forgetting to set the timer and/or not hearing it have led to 2 ruined pans, stinking up the kitchen, and a fear of burning the house down.
This prompted the search for a kettle that would boil water and automatically shut off. After alot of reading and comparing I looked for a few key features:
1. Auto shut-off after reaching a boil (not when empty- many shut off only as a boil-dry safety feature)......
