1st Customer Review : Attractive electric appliance
My mother had several of the non-electric versions of these kettles for years. The problem? She kept leaving them on the stove without enough water in them, so the birds would melt, and then the bottom of the pot would get all charred and gross. She claimed she didn't want another electric appliance at home, but I bought this for her birthday and it won her heart. She uses it everyday. It boils water quickly and is really attractive. Of course, it's really expensive compared to other electric kettles, but you're paying for the design, and the design is pretty awesome.

2nd Customer Review : classic design still makes me smile
since we are a bit form over function we were very delighted to discover that this kettle is indeed very functional. it is simple to use and heats up quickly. as a bonus, it is hard to be grumpy when a birdie greets you every morning....
3rd Customer Review : Great looks but has a design flaw
Yes it is expensive and, yes, a $20 kettle can boil water but that is not really the point of an Alessi kettle. The kettle looks great and many people comment on it especially as not everyone in the USA has an electric kettle anyway. The kettle has a fairly big footprint - approx 10 inches across - so it does occupy a fair amount of apace. At one time it seemed it was a bit of a design cliche in kitchens but i still like it
There is a telltale light on the base and a fairly decent size, crescent moon shape, switch also mounted on the base. BUT the feature that makes people smile, namely the whimsical bird, is its downfall. Just like the regular kettle the bird gets hot and can burn if you are not careful. Really not helpful but it looks good. I've found that the kettle will switch off without the bird cap in place but it takes longer to switch off. Somtimes i just leave the bird loosely on the spout so I can remove it bare-handed while still allowing a fast switch-off once...
