I bought this kettle from Peters of Kensington and I just want to warn people - don’t waste your money! I’ve had mine for around 3yrs and the plastic melts after about 2 years - there is also this strange smell from the plastic parts. This can’t be health for us! I’ve thrown this out and am now on the hunt for a stainless steel kettle! DeLongi products have really lost their quality and are a far cry from why they used to be!
