I have this kettle along with the matching toaster Bought. The device is defective by just over 2 years of mediocre usage, it licks the bottom so that you constantly have a puddle of water on the table. Philips is the problem apparently known as the support staff member has equal asked if he drops down. However there where after 2 years no grace, and in an alleged trademark device of an alleged brand manufacturer ... Here are still more negative reviews about the device with the same problem. The positive reviews have been written immediately after purchase, after 2 years you can see that, unfortunately, otherwise :-( That was my last Philips device!
