Cons
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.
Con Small capacity
This kettle only has 0.9 liter capacity, so it is suitable for only 2-3 cups.
Con Sometimes not accurate enough
This kettle might be not accurate enough sometimes because the temperature setting cannot count how much water is in the kettle. Thus, a temperature may vary couple degrees depending on the amount of water in the kettle.
