This kettle is superb.It’s well made, construction is strong, it features stainless steel internally and does use exactly 800W.It’s in daily use and has been for over a year. I use it for coffee’s at least half a dozen times per day. It is also often used to boil water for cooking. The kettle itself sits well on the base, the power switch is sturdy and there have been no issues at all with it.The paint finish shows no signs of fading or chipping, even with hundreds of heating and cooling cycles. Speed of boiling is fine, with it most often being filled for one cup of coffee it takes about 2 minutes… physics. Very easy to use and dependable. The internal construction also works somewhat like a thermos, keeping water hot for over an hour, which, also means the second coffee of the day can be made somewhat faster than the first.Power usage of 800W put it in mind, originally, as something useful to use with our portable solar power station, which has a max output of 800W. Anything over that and the unit will trip off, so the kettle needed to be of that rating. It is, near enough to the exact figure, as measured by the power station and a Kill-A-Watt type meter. As such and because of its reliability, my usual kettle was relegated to a cupboard and hasn’t seen the light of day since.This really is the longest lasting kettle I’ve bought, with the full usage demands placed on it (am formerly from the UK where a kettle is ubiquitous in the kitchen)
