I bought this kettle 3 days ago (Nov 3) to replace a similar Oster kettle that was 3 or 4 years old but had developed rust inside, on the metal floor. Should have been a clue.
With the new kettle, unless the water is poured out drop by drop, it leaks all over the place.
Now I have to pack it up,  return it to the store and find a different kettle.
Not happy about this.
