Have this kettle bought because we liked the design and goes in with almost 2 liters a lot. We used the kettle daily 2- 3 times a day for tea water to cook, so can not overloading that led to the defect in the device. Anyway, the kettle after 3 weeks is using fused with the base plate and has the entire apartment down electrically lame. Will the device and send it back and hope that the seller I get my money back, I think the same is a lousy neus device high and will also suffer the same fate because it is cheap junk from the Far East.
