The dualit jug kettle that we purchased in Nov 2007 started leaking from the plastic windows about 14 months later, the leak is now so bad that the kettle is virtually empty within 15 minutes. Have complained to dualit and their answer is to replace it! They did not acknowledge that this is a design fault but have offered a 40% discount against a new one from them. Judging by the number of complaints found on the net this is just a rubbish kettle. We will not be wasting more money on a dualit kettle. Suggest you ditch yours and buy a cheapy, you will be able to buy 1/2 a dozen for the same amount as it costs for one dualit, and if they each only last a year that is still better value than a dualit at 14months!
