Nice kettle but prefer their other model
This review is for the stainless MI-EK001 which is listed as an updated version of the black MI-EK004 which I also have. While this kettle is very nice, I found I personally preferred the black model and so, returned this one. Both kettles work very well, are accurate, and look nice.
MI-EK001
+Stainless steel finish is attractive and easy to clean (but gets hot)
+Water level window
+Preset temp buttons (touch sensitive)
+Press start to boil
-Keep warm function (30 min) cancels when the kettle is lifted
-Beeps cannot be disabled
MI-EK004
+Double wall construction stays cool (but black plastic shows more smudges and scuffs)
+Temp can be selected from 100-200 in 5 degree increments, remembers previous setting when turned on
+Press start to boil
+Keep warm function (60 min) stays activated when the kettle is lifted
+Display shows actual temp as it heats up (I really like this)
+Beeps can be disabled
-No visual water level indicator
