One user of this kettle said:
“I’ve had this kettle for 3 years and it still works great. No problem here. It finally has a little mineral build up on the bottom but I am going to try vinegar to take it off when it gets worse. Really everything works as intended, no smells or problems with the top, and I use it many time a day. The only issue I have is some of the “non-slip coating” has come off the handle. This is only cosmetic and hasn’t change the function in any way… Joanne N. Piper”
