Product Description
This stainless steel, cordless kettle lifts off its 360 swivel base for easy filling & pouring. A great gift for office or dorm, it boils water for tea, hot chocolate, or instant foods like oatmeal or soup. The cool-touch bottom won't mar surfaces.

developed a leak November 26, 2008
I received this kettle as a gift last Christmas and would have given it a 5 star rating except that it developed a leak after about 10 months. I called Black & Decker and they said it was out of warranty based on a ID number on the plug. I would be reluctant to ever purchase one. If you do, make sure you keep the receipt and hope the leak occurs within one year.

Wonderful Tea Pot November 19, 2008
A lot of people take issue with where the handle is on this hot pot as it is just above the spout while pouring. However, I take no issue. I can pour just after the water has finished boiling and my hand barely gets warm. That was my only concern when purchasing this and and I love it.

Leaks! November 15, 2008
I bought this product to use in my office and after just two uses, the unused water leaked out through the plastic window or possibly through the bottom.

Nice Look but (maybe) Not a Keeper October 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've had this kettle for less than a year and while I love the looks and design overall, I am having the same problem that others have mentioned: water leaking out the bottom of the kettle.

Pros:
- Nice color, doesn't smudge or look dirty as much as you'd expect
- Inexpensive
- Round, swivel base (doesn't matter what way you set it down)
- Easy to see water level
- Comfortable handling, pours nice and easy

CONS:
- When left standing with water in it, water leaks out the bottom to form a small (or large) puddle around the base. It's unclear how the water is getting out, because it only seems to happen every other time.
- The lid is a little difficult to get off (which could be a pro because you know it wont fall off) and manuver around the handle, but you can simply fill the kettle by tilting it so that the water stream goes into the pour spout.

So, I'll be contacting Black & Decker to get a replacement for this. But for the leaking problem, I would have given it 5 stars. On the plus side, even if I have to replace this once a year, I can buy 2 or 3 for the price that it would cost for another brand kettle.

UPDATE: received the replacement from Black & Decker (didn't even have to send the old one in) and it's been working fine now for 2 weeks.
