My Braun electric kettle gave up the ghost last week so I went looking for a replacement. I bought a Bodum Bistro and took it back IMMEDIATELY. The stupid thing doesn't have an "OFF" switch. Sheesh. Turn it ON and you change your mind, you can only turn it off by pulling the plug, and then when you plug it back in, it's still ON?
What?
Anyway, I ended up with this

I think I'm going to like it. No variable temperature, but that suits me; having a variable temperature control means I have to think about it, and first thing in the morning, ON and OFF are as much as I can manage....
