It works great, and it seemed like quality construction, except that it's got some questionable metallurgy. Probably less than a week using it, and it started developing corrosion on the lid. A few days more, and I noticed more corrosion around the top where the lid sits. Next day I saw corrosion specking the inside as well.
I did a bit of research and all I could find was that it could be replaced under warranty, and that I should use some kind of special water. Distilled maybe? Problem is, I don't want to have to keep getting warranty replacements every two weeks because it'll keep rusting, and I don't want to have to use some fancy water neither. I should be able to run tap water into this thing, boil it, use it, and not have any problems.
In summary, it's intrinsically flawed. Only reason why it didn't get just one star is because it works, and it pours great.
withtheswordI wonder if it's your water? I have had this kettle for several years without a reaction, but I use a whole house filter, and live in the land of softish water.
