I bought this kettle a little over a month ago and it is already headed for the recycling centre. The glass body is so fragile that you need to be very, very careful around the tap when filling it. It seems a very poor design choice to not allow for a kettle spending much of its life near a tap being refilled particlularly when we are encouraged to fill more often with less water to save power. It seems to me the choice of material for the glass body is unfit for purpose.
