Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ok folks. Like you, I read the reviews of this product, both positive and negative and am always skeptical. However, some of the negative reviews I was scratching my head. One person commented on the film at the bottom of the pot after use. That's not the pot. That's your water. A simple mixture of dish detergent and vinegar cleans it right up. Another person complained about burning their hand opening the top. Why would you open the top after the water has boiled? You simply pour the water into you cup or tea pot. You should only open the top to put water in the pot. Another person complained of the plastic burning smell. That's a concern but not the case for me. So, with that in mind, here is my honest review. First, this is the second one I've had. I got one as a gift a few years ago and loved it! Then about 2 months ago, I knocked it off the counter and as glass does, it broke. I decided I didn't need the larger pot, as I had, and instead opted for this 4 cup one. Like the larger one, I love it! Unlike a traditional kettle that sits on top of your stove, this automaticly shuts off after the water boils. I don't have to wait and watch the pot boil because we all know a watched pot doesn't boil. :) It is effecient, quick, and does the job. This one is little so if you need more water than 4 cups, buy the larger one.
