...Hows it working out Mike?
I have only used it 8 or ten times, but so far it is good. It makes a bit of noise when it is heating, almost a roaring sound. You can tell it is all business. I notice that it reaches a boil and about 10 seconds later it turns itself off. I have not figured out how it dose this, but I have let it go each time to make sure the safety feature works. It boils 1.2 liters in about 4.5 minutes. that is starting with fresh cold water. It is convienient that the pot lifts off the base and is cordless for filling and pouring. for $26 I give it two thumbs up.
