I love the look of this kettle but the base suddenly stopped working after about 1.5yrs. I tried to find a base but couldn’t so bought another just for the base. Now, less than 6 months into using it, the base is toast. What gives? Ironically today my Kichenaide toadter also bit the dust. Feeling like these appliances are cheap. Too bad as I like the style on both. Why can’t I simply order the base?
