Krups FLF2-J4 Cordless Electric 54-Ounce Water Kettle, Black

Comment: Just put this tea maker on a gas stove and almost started a serious fire. Perhaps it makes sense to put a little note on it that it is electric and not gas.

Comment: ln less than 6 months this kettle was leaking and kept turning itself off. l was really disappointed, l was the owner of a Krups coffee maker and thought it would be nice to have the kettle and the coffee maker match. Shortly after l purchased the kettle the coffee maker stopped working, (just 13 months old) l was not impressed with the $10 voucher that l was offered by Krups. Needless to say l did not replace the coffee maker with another Krups.
l liked the design of the Krups, however l did find the lid was not that easy take on and off.
l have now replaced the kettle with a stainless steel one at half the price from another company.

Comment: I've had this kettle for two years, and I loved it. But today, I came downstairs to water all over my counter and realized that it was leaking from the seam where the bottom of the handle joins the body. I intended to buy another kettle just like it, so I came back to Amazon, but then I read some of the reviews. It appears that this is a recurrent issue that Krups has never chosen to fix. So I'll be going to Bed, Bath & Beyond tonight to look at their kettles. Too bad; I really liked it....

Comment: I purchased this kettle just over 1 year ago. I really liked the speed with which it boiled water. Being able to remove it from the base with ease made pouring fuss free. Unfortunately my kettle sprung a leak near the bottom of the handle causing the water to seep out slowly onto my counter. I sent it in for warranty repair in the hopes that they would fix it even though it was beyond the 1 year warranty window. Unfortunately they were unable to fix it so it became landfill.

Comment: I purchased my Krups electric kettle about a year ago and loved it right from the start. Ditto with the positive features in other reviews. But it just died - won't turn on after only a year or less of use only two or three times a week!! NOT good for Krups reputation. I would like to buy another one just like it but $60 for one year's use seems outrageous to me! I would think Krups could easily improve the switch and stop the leaking problems and wonder why they haven't since this model is so obviously defective.
