Title: Dangerous, badly designed
Product review: This kettle has no off switch. I'll say that again: YOU CANNOT TURN IT OFF.I've been using this kettle for 6 months, and I mostly didn't mind it. But it was frustrating how I had to physically unplug it sometimes if I wanted it to stop, since its automatic turn-off feature rarely works. (The plug is a tight fit so it is a lot of effort to plug in and out.)Lately it seems like the auto-off switch has been getting worse and worse. Yesterday I walked into the kitchen and noticed it TURNING ITSELF ON AND OFF, even though I hadn't used it recently. Obviously I immediately unplugged it, and noticed that the power cord was physically hot to the touch, as though the insulation on the cord had been heating.Although it does boil water as advertised, it never STOPS boiling, which seems like a ridiculous requirement for the designers to overlook. I regard this product as dangerously un-trustworthy, and will be throwing it away. A simple hard off-switch would be a big help.
