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.
Ah, fair. I’m not plugging it into the same plug as my dryer or whatever, my home’s norm is 110-120v @ 60Hz on AC. I do have the 230-240v @ 60Hz option, but, honestly? I’m mostly on 5v/1-2A DC (I run a lot off of USB batteries).
