Now 18 months later it started to leak from the base and the spout , the seals had gone! and it had to go.
It always dribbled from the spout, which was annoying and needed cleaning all the time as it marked. It was quite noisy too - but most kettles are I suppose. Also the filter inside broke with in a year. Just very disappointed that a basic item such as a kettle didnt last longer.
