This was a replacement of another Chef's Choice kettle where the top hinge broke. Wider opening at the top is a plus when filling. Small footprint saves counter space. Time will tell if it holds up to heavy daily use.

We bought this brand electric kettle after three elect. kettles of another very well-known brand leaked after only a few months of use. This kettle is larger, more stylish, easier to fill, heats faster, and (so far) doesn't leak. All is well.

I am very happy with this kettle. It boils water quickly and is good looking. The price is good. It pours without spilling a drop and the exterior does not get too hot. I read a lot of reviews on a lot of kettles. I would definitely recommend this one.

Lightweight, compact tea kettle, looks good on any counter. Boils water quickly and silently. I tried several more expensive kettles and ended up keeping this one.

Horrible shoe, felt great when I first tried it on and for the first few hours after that. Unfortunately, there is a part of the heel that is made of a very tough plasticy material that digs into my heel every time I use these shoes, and after about 20 hours of use, I can't even put these shoes on without feeling pain. The part I'm referring to can be seen when you look at the back of the shoe and it's the black T-shaped material on the outside of the heel. I've never had a pair of shoes cause so much pain.

I've had a couple pairs of these and they are my favorite running shoes. 5-8 miles on uneven terrain and they have plenty of support for that.

This shoe is excellent for the amount of running that I do. I do 1 to 2 miles a day.

Snug but comfortable from day 1. I had the Alvord 8 and liked so much I bought this year's model and was not disappointed!

Super comfortable shoe. Lightweight feeling, soft upper and very cushioned. Sole has a great pattern for traction on trails. Has a lot of mesh on the upper to be a pure hiking shoe, but has its purpose for running.

I really liked these shoes. I took them hiking with me in the Catskills and they held up pretty great despite not really being made for that. I also thought it made me lean forward on my toes a little bit, but felt better after I broke them in. Pretty awesome shoe.
