Bought this in July, and yesterday a 1/2" jagged crack opened in the middle of the reservoir casing - not even near a seam. Called Braun, and they told me that it is no longer manufactured and, therefore, not under warranty - even though, as far as I'm concerned, it's only 7 weeks old! Amazon won't take it back: it's more than 30 days since we ordered it.That was our third Braun, and our last.
