Here's a brief summary of my video review of the Bonavita 1.0 L Digital Variable Temperature Gooseneck Kettle. I purchased this November 11, 2012, and was forced to retire it on December 24, 2017. Good features about this kettle include mostly stainless construction, beepless design, commercial rating, and proven 5-year durability. Bad features include some (totally unnecessary) plastic inside the water-heating compartment.
Beware. Wobbly kettle!

I researched many kettles as we are big fans of tea and our over coffee in our house. When I finally decided on this goose neck kettle (after ignoring the negative reviews) I was happy. I was less than happy when I got it out and the ring that keeps the cord wound on the bottom was warped slightly, but enough to make it wobble. Having a pot full of wobbly boiling water is not ideal at best and unsafe at worst. I must keep my hand steady when I lift the kettle off. My husband says I am being not picky, but then again he does not know how much this cost!
The Pros: It works very very well. It is lightning fast to heat up water and extremely accurate. The pour spout has helped my pour over technique. It is also stylish looking and came with a spill guard, which was not advertised, as a bonus. I empty the pot and dry it every time so as not to court the rust that others say plague this kettle.
Cons: Wobbly. If this kettle did not have a wobble, I would update my review to a five. It is a great kettle, but quality of the bottom piece is obviously lacking. Please see my video where I show the wobble and let me know if it is helpful, as I don't usually post videos or negative reviews. 😕

Ideal for handpour coffee

I purchased this 4.5 years ago, and used it daily. I use it for Chemex handpour coffee, and together with my Baratza Virtuosos grinder and my EatSmart Precision Elite scale, it's made for a very satisfying brew every morning.
After 4.5 years of use, this kettle is showing some signs of age. There was some faint rusting inside (didn't affect taste), part of the plastic cap on the lid broke off (didn't affect my ability to remove the lid. All in all, I would say it held up very well. I just purchased a new one (I'll take the old one to work), and comparing the two, heat-up time is still the same (about 5 minutes) and temperature is accurate within a degree or two. It is now about 1/3 the price I paid over 4 years ago. All in all, a very good purchase!

would rate 5 stars except for rust/oxidation

I use this little guy multiple times a day for the last 7 months. Functionally it works brilliantly for pour over. I love that it will hold a temperature. I get a good reliable pour and once you get your method dialed in it's easy to reproduce consistent results.
Sadly, a few weeks after I got it this discoloration started appearing on the bottom. I tried all the recommended methods of cleaning it with no luck.
The lid also gets rust around it as does the top edge of the kettle.
It's disappointing the craftsmanship is shoddy because otherwise this would be perfect.
5 stars for heating and pouring
0 stars for quality of materials
UPDATE: I contacted the company about a month after the one year warranty. At first they said I was out of luck, but I pushed to talk to a manager and they agreed to send me a replacement. I'm now meticulously drying it after each use. We will see how it holds up.

while nice for the first few months
Andrew Winthrop✓ Verified Purchase•September 14, 2016
This kettle, while nice for the first few months, develops rust and leaks, creating a mess all over one's kitchen counters.
The kettle is not stainless steel, and the kettle will form rust spots wherever water contacts the kettle.
My particular kettle, in addition to rust spots inside of the kettle, also developed rust and a leak at the base of the gooseneck on the bottom where the gooseneck meets the kettle. It leaks EVERYWHERE, and when tilting the kettle it will leak profusely - which is a great feature considering that it is leaking near boiling hot water on you.
I submitted a warranty claim and it was denied despite the clear manufacturing default. I would recommend fully to save your money ($75 or $99) and spend it on a company that doesn't willfully deceive their customers.
