It boils water. And it looks red. Yay
Update: the tea filter broke and thus the auto shutoff as well (fix this with a towel on the top of the kettle). There’s a fragile plastic rod that attaches to either a string or a spring that controls the tea filter’s mounting. It broke for me and just flopped downwards instead of shutting the kettle. Managed to get a replacement, but I wouldn’t get this exact model.

Sure, that’s the BTU right there. You would think that if you had 100 equal elements heating 100 equally sized amounts of water (in a vacuum), that it’d go faster than one element heating one 100 times as large. I imagine you’d need some kind of separation between the elements, or they’d end up hearing one another and affecting their individual efficiencies. I’m sure Lemmy can design a more efficient kettle though, let’s get on it.
