I bought this kettle there is a little over two years (longer under warranty so ..), and soon its acquisition I was perfectly satisfied: ergonomic, compact but large capacity. And especially thank you green tea point and function "keep temperature". BUT for a few weeks she fled lot by the base (bottom of the kettle) and I found the water in the base (connected to 220V ...) and on the work plan. This and so reluctantly and for obvious safety reasons I will have to find another model, because I realize that I am far from alone in having had this problem (planned obsolescence ... maybe ?)
