nice device - far too short life

Introduction, I would like to say that this kettle until the occurrence of the leak did its job to the fullest satisfaction. The cooking did not take too long and the device could be cleaned easily. The kettle was not too hot outside and did not smell unpleasantly of plastic. Taste the water was never objectionable. The assessment is carried out with two stars because it has not even survived the two years. The positive Eigent machinations prevent the vote with only one star is done. Everywhere is working with seals must be so that these also expected sometime no longer fulfill the purpose. Unfortunately not worth in such small appliances repair. Negative for the manufacturer but is not even when a device stops 2 years.

A much too short life appears to be the fundamental problem of today's devices. I do not want to go as far and try the new fashion term "planned obsolescence", but since we have worn 4 kettle in the last 5 years and all the diseased on the same problem, namely a leak after a good year of daily use, is like saying on.
What keeps long brings no money ... ;-) But such defects do more harm to the reputation of the company. We have devices from different manufacturers in use which had up to 4x a day were in use. The devices were all neat and decalcified still none nearly 1500 cooking operations has mastered without leaking. In local electric market the lady protested her holding device is now almost 10 years ... great. My not. Monday device? Using error? I can not say it. Maybe I'm just overwhelmed by the complexity of the kettle.

In summary, one can say that all devices nachkamen their function. Only one was next to the typical problem still with detachments from the coated Heizplattenabdeckung. It remains only the conclusion that all the devices are leaking, no matter how much they cost and malochen Chinese workers in whose name.
My desire would therefore be a device which has a water tank without seals and thermal insulation to. Not only to flinch when accidental touches, or to save the children some experience, no also to keep the water and hold temperature. So far I have not yet found the ... will once again an inexpensive variant also perceived quality since not keep its promise.
