Poorly made kettle

I bought this to replace a previous Proctor Silex electric kettle, which had served me well for many year. When it finally failed, I assumed I was replacing it with the same quality kettle. When the new kettle arrived arrived, it looked the same, but felt as if the materials were thinner and poorly attached. What finally drove me to replace it with a different brand was that if I jostled it even slightly while the water was heating, the plug would lose the electrical connection, and I would have to play with it to get back the connection.
