I have been using these kettles for several years now with mixed
results. I have one that is 3 years old and has been through hell and
back. I have had 2 others where the switch failed after about 1 year
of use. In any event even with the high failure rate its a hard kettle
to beat when you consider you can get it for $20-$30. The Teal and
Orange models are on sale at www.bodum.com for $19.95. At this price I
consider it a disposable kettle and as long as I get a year out of it
I feel I got my money's worth.
