Query: Shoddy piece of junk

I bought two of these, for home and work. Seemed great at first: heats fast and shuts off reliably at boil. After less than a year within a few weeks of each other, both began leaking through a seam in bottom and had to be replaced. Neither was ever dropped or abused, used 2 to 3 times per day.Don't let the German brand name or high price fool you. These are cheap Chinese-made junk sold with a grossly inflated profit margin. Get a cheap kettle with a better rating that doesn't pretend to be a premium product. Krupps has ruined their brand for me with their greedy decision to hire someone to manufacture this garbage and put their name on it.
