Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups BW4000 Professional 2-Quart Die-Cast Electric Kettle

Customer Review: Leaked right out of the box
Summary: 1 Stars

How does one review an item that leaks on first use? The leak emanates from the base of the water level indicator window. This flaw is so basic that i would not be surprised if other manufacturing design deficiencies were to be exposed through regular use. One observation was the potential for accumulation of hidden calcium deposits inside the kettle. Here the sealed heater chamber is fused to the water tank but with the added support of welder joints on the periphery (not the circumference, as the kettle is not circular). These joints- between the heater element housing and the sides of the water tank- do not appear to be air tight. Perhaps this is why the user manual suggests adding vinegar/water solution once a month to dilute any accumulated crud in these hidden crevices. If this really is a necessity, it simply would be impractical as one would not be able to assess the effectiveness of such cleaning. There are many other electric kettles that may suggest doing the same, but have an exposed base that is clearly "insulated" from the heater chamber which, if need be, can be verified as clean or free of calcium deposits.
