1st one purchased 15/01/09.
returned & replaced by comet 20/08/09 when it became dangerous.
continually failed to turn itself off leaving the handle very hot.
around november 2011 the replacement started to do the same thing but this time the handle did not get hot but the kitchen was full of steam.
solved the problem by standing next to the kettle and turning it off manualy.
now the hinge has fallen apart and the lid will not shut.
at over £70 you would think you are buying a product that will last.
we had better service out of our old kettle (about 9 years) and that only cost £10
