Hi All!

We're about to get a new electric tea kettle - does anybody have either
the Philips or the Bodum Ibis kettle?

I've read some reviews, and they seem fairly fungible, except that the
Bodum seems to be a bit faster to get to boil - the review I read said
it will boil a full kettle in about 4 minutes; the Philips says simply
"under 6 minutes". Anybody here have any real-world figures?

Also, one review said the Bodum's water window (to see how much water is
in the kettle) was useless, and that the filling door was difficult to
open.

Finally, I know that the Philips has a chime which sounds when the
water boils - but can't find anything indicating whether the Ibis makes
any notifying noise when the water boils. Does anybody know?

Thanks!

Anne
