Does the kettle lift off the base for filling?

Yes, it lifts of the base. I have had mine for a while now and like it. It looks good, you see the water come to a boil, shuts off by itself, holds enough water to brew a regular pot of tea. I have cleaned sediments by boiling water with some vinegar. Looks like new after that.

The key is how angled the kettle is when you're pouring. If the kettle is rather full, so that you don't have to angle it much to pour water out, then you don't have to hold the lid. When you angle the kettle more sharply, like maybe 70 degrees or more (this is approximate guess), then you have to put a finger on the lid or it will fall off. Most of the time, I don't have to angle the kettle that much to pour from it, so that I don't have to put my finger on the lid.

The base unit will have a cord but the kettle itself does not. When you lift the kettle off the base it is then cordless for ease of pouring, etc.

You can lift the kettle off the base ( heating element) the base keeps the cord attached to it,but the Kettle can lift off and be moved correct. In other words the base has an electrical cord plugged into the wall outlet that is all one unit. the kettle sits on the base and can be lifted on and off.

Yes, the ceramic crock lifts out of the base. What is really nice is that the top can be secured on to the base so that the ceramic pot cannot come out if you want to transport it. I have personally lost a lot of lids to the fact that they couldn't be secured, slid off and broke.

There is a base that kettle actually sits on and the base has the electrical cord. I love it.

Yes, you have to remove it to fill it. You have pull it out, as the opening is on the bottom.

No, because the pot lifts out from the base for cleaning unless there is really a mess all you need to do is wipe down the base with a damp cloth to keep it clean.

When filling from the water dispenser on my refrigerator, yes, the handle gets in the way - but I solved that problem by filling the kettle through the spout, instead of the lid. In fact, I never detach the lid except to clean with vinegar water every several months to keep it scale free.

Yes, the lever can be left in the on position to fill. We do this regularly with the kettle.

Yes, it is. The pot fits on the base for heating and detaches completely for filling and pouring. I've had one for 6 months and it does the job.

No, but you can hold the lid back just a little and tip it over the sink and it drains just fine. I love this pan. It does have two small vent holes to let out the steam as it is cooking.

Yes. But I don't recommend the kettle. Poor design causes hot steam to reach fingers when pouring.

No it does not. The top does a little and you have to hold it to pour otherwise it might fall.

There's a small base station with a plug that the kettle sits on top of. When the water has boiled, you just pick up the kettle and pour and the base stays behind.

Yes you can turn the kettle off at the base without unplugging it. The kettle automatically turns itself off when you lift it off of the base .There is a minimum amount of water that has to be in the kettle in order for it to work properly, but you don't have to fill it to the top if you only want to boil a small amount.
