" ...  Unfortunately, the little plastic hinges in the lid broke within 4-5 months of daily use, which caused steam to escape and water to condense just under the lid.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The flip-top lid has a terribly weak plastic hinge on it. ... Ours broke completely off with two separate units. ... While it was definitely appreciated that they replaced the unit, the same break occurred again, and I really don't want to go through this again.  ...  "

" ...  Buuuuut the lid wont open not even on day one I have to hold the pot upside down and wack at the button a few time to get it to open.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Tricky to open/fill (button latch doesn’t always release), and died in 6 weeks.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Button to open top was also finicky from the start.  ...  "
comment
" ...  - The top doesn't open fully when you click the button and you need to pull it open to refill.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The lid on top uses a button, and the button no longer consistently works, I have to sit and press it like I'm playing a gameshow to get it to open. ... The button on the handle to activate it leaks a large amount of very hot steam, as well as the seams in the plastic around the handle, I've burnt my hand pretty badly a couple times now and have to use a rag when handling it, I thought an electric kettle would be safer than a stove top one.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The only drawback is when pouring out the water you must be very careful to keep your hand below the on /off switch.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The button gets stuck and I have to press it twenty times sometimes to get it to open.  ...  "
comment
" ...  bought the kettle sometime around November of the last year and by the end of December it would not start when pressing the On button - I would have to move the kettle around the heating base to find the position where it would get a proper contact to get the electricity flow.  ...  "
