Title: Lasts about a year and a half.
Product review: I purchased one of these for my home and liked it enough to buy a second one for use at work. About 18 months later, the first one started failing to shut off consistently. I'd come back to the kitchen 20 minutes later and it would still be boiling -- dangerous. Shortly thereafter, the lid on the one at work began getting stuck open and can be frustrating to close. So far I haven't replace either of them, but they continue to degrade. The light on my kettle at home now flashes frantically while boiling. I would've recommended these kettles heartily a year ago, but they are too expensive to replace every two years.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
