This pitcher worked about 3 days and on the evening I had company and had to use it it would work. I you applied pressure and held it a certain way it would work but that iss unexceptable.
Do not recommend to anyone who values quality. I think this model is just underdesigned and underengineered.
In reality - a typical low-quality item. After boiling, water acquires some funny flavor.
In the picture, it looks great. To avoid that I placed a toy chip under the kettle.
It did not happen with the previous brand we had.Now, when the kettle is full, it stands firm on its heating platform. As soon as the water level reaches 1/2 or lower, the kettle gets too light to stand straight on the platform, because the clamp seems to be tight that it pushes the kettle out of the platform and the kettle tilts forward and has no contact with the clamp to continue boiling water.
I will never buy it again.
I purchased this kettle for our office, and quickly found that it does not automatically shut off and stay off after the water is hot, contrary to the product description. Instead, it cycles until it boils dry, or someone notices and manually turns it off. Even the manual turn-off option is dicey, as there is nothing to indicate whether off is "lever up" or "lever down". I would not purchase this kettle again.
I have had no problems w/it other than a really tiny drip out of the bottom that was easily fixed by tightening the screw. I've now owned this kettle for at least 3 years. It gets water hot fast & shuts off if it reaches a boil. I use it every day to brew 1.25L of water for our coffee. I don't use a coffee maker - they are not hot enough to brew properly so we use the pour-over method into a stainless carafe. I would like a kettle w/variable temp. If this one ever dies, I will buy one of those but just can't justify spending the $ while this one works so well.
Major flaw of this kettle, it should automatically shut down when water boils but doesn't. So quality is poor. Worth spending more on a better brand.
