Spout of the kettle broke easily, cannot be used anymore due to safety reasons

We have used this jug for about a month now. I can confirm that it does heat water to boiling quite expeditiously, which is why we bought it. Having got to boiling point, it does (eventually) turn itself off. It is quite stable when standing on the bench. I do like the steady opening of the lid, rather than the instantaneous flick-open of some other jugs we have had in the past. I do like the completely transparent body, and the fact there there is a scale on the side giving a measure of how much water is in there. So far, that body has stayed "crystal clear", it will be interesting to see how long that lasts. What I think should be improved is the rather fiddly little on-off switch under the handle. I have seen other jugs that provide a horizontal paddle to turn it on-off - soooo much easier to use. Though at least the switch does light up when the jug is on, so it is easy to see if it is on or not. And I quite like jugs that turn themselves off when you lift them off their base. This one does not, so after you have tipped most of the water out, you actually have to stop it boiling itself dry. What was really good was that one time I turned it on by accident when there was no water in the jug. After a few seconds it gave a loud "pop" and turned itself off. Turning the switch off and back on again restored normal functionality. I do like an item to have some idiot-resistance designed into it, can be needed in the best-run households!

Love my new Jug!!! Love the colour. And it didnt have that yucky water taste first few times of using the jug too. Thumbs up.
