Cons
Con Beeps annoyingly
Some people can find it annoying that the kettle beeps quite a lot. It makes a beep every time you take it off the base or push the buttons (it takes to push three buttons before boiling). At the end, the kettle makes three beeps before boiling.
Con Takes longer to heat water
Due to the large capacity (1.8 liter) this kettle takes longer time to boil water comparing to a smaller kettle.
Con No temperature indication
This kettle is not programmable and does not allow you to adjust or choose the temperature. That might not be good if you love certain types of teas which require lower than 212 °F temperature.
Con Slightly heavy
As the kettle has a double wall construction which requires more materials to be made, it is slightly heavier comparing to a regular 1.7 liter stainless steel electric kettle.
