I found this clearanced at a local store and thought I'd give it a try. I loved it for the three days I had it. It is difficult to get the lid on and off to clean it out. Finally the lid fell into the pot and when I tried to pull it out the pot cracked down the side and it basically fell apart. I was looking to replace just the pot but have so far been unsuccessful. The cost to replace it would be more than double what I paid in the first place. Since the one I had broke so easily I am hesitant to buy another one. I bought this one because I have grown impatient waiting for my kettle to boil. I think I'll go back to the old way now.
