Title: Failed Before 3 Months
Product review: First the illuminated display started blinking. Next, I had to twist the kettle on the base to make the connection for the kettle to start working. Finally, I noticed a smell of electrical burning & found that the base connector was melting! All within 3 months of purchase! This is our 2nd Breville. The 1st lasted one year before failing. I believe the design of the base is flawed. The size of the electrical contacts is too small for the current necessary for that size heating element. I'm going to go back to the stove top variety & avoid providing more non-biodegradable fodder for landfill.
