I love the look of this kettle, its modern and looks good in my kitchen. This is the 3rd one we have had of these. The first had to get replaced after a few months as it suddenly stopped working but cuisinart replaced it for me. The replacement stopped working after a year and we then tried another brand of kettle. This other brand was not good so we are trying this cuisinart kettle again, I hope it lasts longer than the other 2. Also this kettle is used many times a day so this could be why it hasn't lasted so long previously.
