General Electric 1500W 1.5-Liter 6-Cup Electric Kettle, Double Wall Insulation with Keep Warm, Auto Shut-off

Exactly what I have been looking for, a simple, basic, stainless-steel kettle to be used by an elderly person. The minimum amount of water to boil is 2 cups and the maximum is 6 cups. The exterior of the kettle is comfortably warm to touch after it comes to a full boil. There is one on-off switch that automatically turns off when the kettle has reached the boiling temperature. The interior of the kettle is slightly discolored after the first boil, but my ordinary fifteen-year-old stainless-steel kettle that I use on the cook top is also discolored inside from use - and who looks inside their stove top tea kettle? I would only be dissatisfied if the electric kettle rusted. The discoloration inside the kettle from minerals in tap water doesn't concern me. I am so far very pleased and would recommend this kettle to someone who wants a basic, easy to pour kettle that brings water to a vigorous boil.

After going from a basic kettle to a digital one that broke after a year (neither GE), I decided to go back to a more basic kettle. This one does exactly what it's supposed to do - boil's water quickly and with minimal fuss. The lid isn't the most awesome design, but it's functional and doesn't cause me issues.
