What we like
- Boils a full load fast and reliably at a genuinely low price
- Removable mesh scale filter is a nice, unexpected touch for the cost
- Cool-touch handle and body make it safe to grab right after boiling
What we don't
- No temperature control, no keep-warm, no extras of any kind
- Plastic lid and handle feel noticeably cheaper than the Cosori's all-steel build
- One-year warranty is the shortest in this lineup
