I would recommend this kettle only to those who don't mind disposable things. I am throwing it out. The same problem many other customers reported: after a few months of use the kettle began leaking - not just a few drops but puddles of water. That is a shame because I liked the kettle before that problem developed.
And I use it a lot. I am very sad to say, I need to buy one for my mother in-law(since her cheap one broke) And I Cannot Find One Anywhere even on the Braum web site. I had and still have this tea kettle since my wedding.Love never had any problems with it. I bought it for all my friends, my mom has 2 of them "for large parties". :( I cleaned it with vinegar every once in a while. Never had a problem with it smelling bad.
What can I say -- was it worth the $50 investment. We bought this kettle in January of 2008 and it worked great for 10 months. I now have to buy another one.but not Braun. You be the judge. And then, it started to leak. Of course, no warranty, no returns.
I can not fathom 1 negative aspect about this kettle. Great price, sturdy build, & boils water quickly. The reviews posted about this kettle influenced my purchase of this kettle. I was so happy with my purchase that I bought a spare & I tell anyone I know who could use one. Aside from boiling water to make tea & coffee, I also use this to boil water for cleaning purposes. Normally, the electric kettles I've seen are mostly cheap manufactures but the kettle I bought (this one) was made in the Czech Republic, and this kettle is absolutely wonderful. I use it very frequently because I love tea & make coffee in a French press.
What happened to it. Now it is only available used or new for double that price. Where can I find it reasonably priced now in 2009. Why isn't this GREAT electric kettle on the market any more. I bought this from Amazon @ $49.99 twice in 2008.
