“This kettle has 3 fatal flaws.”— @lyngoldsmith5169 on YouTube

“It performed well when it was new but is now due for replacement after 2 years because the screen and temp sensor sometimes play up, some of the black coating has chipped off around the bottom, and its 304 stainless steel keeps redeveloping rust where the lid sits. It has 900ml capacity but you are better off using it at half capacity for better heat up time”— [deleted] on Reddit
