Kitchen

@feline groovy not silly at all to enjoy the lighted features! 

I've been eyeing a few on WS and want a lit model, too. I tend to fumble around the kitchen in the early am and some soft lighting without glaring overhead lights would be great.

After spending almost an hour going through ALL the electric kettles on Amazon, I went back to the $19.xx ones which I have at both houses.  They do last !  

My preference is to have a separate base from the kettle.

After a few uses, I take a long handled brush and swish it around the bottom to get rid of calcium build up from the well water.  Or, if in a hurry, use a little white vinegar to cover the bottom to loosen any buildup and rinse it out.

We've had an OXO electric kettle for at least 5 years. It's mostly clear glass and detaches from the black power base for ease of use. It was pricey, I think about $120, so I bought a backup when I saw one on Zulily for $75. The original's still going strong and the backup's never been out of the box. We use it 3 or 4 times a day and it still works as well as the day we got it. It's one of the few appliances that's always on the counter in our galley kitchen.
