Sounds like something someone who hasn't had a life changing water boiling event in their life would say.

The British would like a word...

I have mine set on a timer, fill it up with water before I go to bed, and when I wake up I can immediately make a hot broth breakfast. It's reduced my morning routine by 8 whole minutes! Life will never be the same.

Yeah, it was hyperbole, but when I bought one, I felt a huge difference when cooking or making tea/coffee.

Want to cook some rice? Just put water in the electric kettle, prepare the rice and put it in the rice cooker, boom, put the already heated water in the rice cooker. It's a lot faster than putting a kettle on a stove, here's 220v, but it is different state to state.

For tea? Just put some water in the electric kettle and hear the click sound.

It changed my life, and changed a lot of peoples lives, because when I talk to my coworkers, all of them have the same opinion. It's just a time saver, but damn, an amazing time saver.
