Title: Bad base receptacle design
Product review: While very convenient to use, this kettle has one major flaw: the design of the electrical receptacle in the base. We have had this unit for a little over a year and with heavy use (boiling water 4-5 times a day) the receptacle pins wore out and bent. It's in a non-working and probably dangerous state. Needless to say the 1-year warranty is over and replacing the base will cost more than half of the new unit. I guess this is called "planned obsolescence". Avoid this unit and look for other brands (We are looking at Braun and Hamilton Beach).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
