I bought this electric kettle to boil water for tea, maggie as well as boiling eggs while at hostel.It was fairly sturdy with a high power 1600 Watt heater for quicker output.I tried using this for an year at full capacity and still it works. I need not to clean its coils/heating elements much.The pricing for this kettle was decent compared to others in the row.It had a year of warranty period, but luckily I need not worry about that.
