(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have had the Heritage electric kettle for a few weeks, and it works well - of course it's new - and looks good. Extremely thin and lightweight in the materials department, we'll see if that makes a difference in the long run. Big like is the fact that the handle and on/off switch and clear fluid level guide are all one piece. My last kettle - a Bosch - didn't die, it leaked. It had 3 separate plastic parts inserted into the 'brushed metal' kettle and would turn itself off due to water leaking. It was not fixable unless I wanted to buy a high-heat food grade epoxy. As always, it's cheaper to buy another kettle.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We just got this kettle after our old one broke. It has a nice finish, and pours nicely, no dribbling. The cord can be wrapped up underneath to shorten it which is great.
I bought this kettle last week. Easy to open cover. Doesn't have mehanical cover lock. Just push to close it. So far so good. Other kettles I've used lasted about a year. We'll see how this one fairs out. Hope it lasts because I really like its fuctionality
