Received our purchase of the kettle and toaster Aug 2021. We use the kettle and toaster every day and they have worked like the first day that we got them. Absolutely no sign of wearing, after a little over two years. When we did our kitchen reno, a friend of mine had come over and he didn’t even look at our new kitchen… but went straight to Zwilling appliances and started asking me questions about them. I got a chuckle about that.
