I read the reviews - in particular the comment about the thermostat - and decided I would have better luck - therefore I went ahead and purchased this kettle. For 3 months I was happy.. & then the problems began. Over the next 3 months the thermostat slowly stopped functioning. This kettle will boil off the entire contents without shutting off. Then the kettle developed a leak (location - at the water level indicator).

Being British and around electric kettles all my life this has to be one of the nicest looking but one of the worst designs. Having owned this kettle one week I have already accidentally hit the lid button whilst pouring boiling water into my cup. The on/off switch is in an ackward place, the on/off light indicator is difficult to see. This kettle is an accident waiting to happen.
Defective product.

This is a defective product, from my experience, which is best to avoid. I purchased this unit at Bed Bath and Beyond. In less than two days the button which opens the top lid broke off.
I exchanged the unit for another Cuisinart CJK-17BC. On the second (replacement) unit, within 1 day of use the button which opens the top lid got stuck and would no longer open the lid.
2 out of 2 units defective--not a good track record.
In my opinion, the mechanism which opens the lid is poorly designed and prone to these problems.
I just replaced this unit with the Braun WK600 Impressions 7-Cup Electric Kettle. I am very happy with the Braun--has the same great look/features of the Cuisinart, but seems to have a much more reliable lid.
