Never paid so much for a kettle and won't again. After just three years the base is rusted and no way of cleaning or improving. Have replaced with something that looks identical but almost a third cheaper and with a 3 year warranty.

I bought this kettle to replace another glass kettle from Sunbeam. I was very happy with the ealier model but this one is a dud. It has couple of faults; the spout does not pour well at all and combined with a poorly balanced handle makes it difficult not to spill hot water when pouring into a cup. I'm sure that Sunbeam can do better.

Had it for a couple of days then the lid opening device stuffed up , now I have to use my finger nail to open . My rating not so good for sunbeam .
