We had the first gen model for about 7 years, which had some of the issues that most people here complained about. When the first gen model started to lose some of the enamel and chip away, we picked up this revised version and see that it has a few updates in design that will hopefully keep it going even longer.
This my second Smeg kettle in 4 Years. I love the look of it but Thought it would last longer. My latest kettle’s filter keeps falling out….not the correct fit. Very disappointed.
