" ... Lid wont open ... "
" ... After I fell the kettle with water and keep it on the electric pad it doesn’t light up. ... I was just using it to boil water and that too not daily. ... "
" ... If filled to more than 1 liter, the handle's bad design makes it difficult, if not impossible, to hold upright. ... When filled with cold water, this is just inconvenient. ... But filled with BOILING water, these design flaws make this kettle super-dangerous. ... "
" ... I even did what it said I had to do and that was to empty the remaining water out and don’t leave it in the kettle. ... Waste of water and the point is to be able to have tea later in the day with just a top up of water if necessary. ... "
" ... Either that or continue drinking plastic particles ... "
" ... Eventually, in the last two months, it stopped boiling water every other time I use the kettle even if i get it to work right away. ... I ruined some good black and herbal teas this way when, unsuspecting, I poured barely hot instead of boiling water on them. ... "
" ... Only complaint is that because it's made of metal, when full, it is pretty heavy. ... "
" ... Which it doesn't and then it over heats and smells like burning plastic. ... It feels extremely unsafe to use. ... "
