Review on ☕ Capresso 259 Water Kettle: Polished Chrome, Compact & Stylish by Jake Yap

I had high hopes for this when I saw positive reviews about it in Consumer Reports magazine. So I immediately ordered one. It came quickly and I couldn't be happier - that is, until I boiled water in it. Unfortunately, there is a "smell" inside the kettle - maybe it's a seal at the bottom of the glass "belly". This creates a distinctly pungent odor that you don't want to drink with your tea. I've boiled the kettle about 8 times and indeed the smell has decreased but not gone away. Knowing it was there meant I kept sniffing and sniffing at it. I wrote to the company asking what to do. But they never answered. The on/off button on the handle also has a blue on indicator, but it's recessed into the handle in such a way that it's difficult to see unless you're standing directly over the kettle. Another design flaw contributed: the kettle ran all night, but there was no water in it. The manual says no water would mean the kettle wouldn't turn on. But when I picked up the block in the morning, the base felt warm, almost hot. So I returned the block to Revine with all of that. Thank goodness Revain works exactly as described!
