Watch what you buy on Amazon and don't buy this piece of expensive trash

After less than two of months using this kettle every day I have had now twice where the machine started boiling water on its own and had to be unplugged to stop. Had I not been home there is zero doubt it would have continued until it exploded and what, catch fire? I just contacted Amazon customer service and was put through some ridiculous "reset" which would have accomplished nothing to fix the problem then was informed I would need to contact the manufacturer as the return window has closed. REALLY? Amazon refuses to, on their own, take care of this very evident fire and safety issue where they certainly would have born some responsibility had my house burned down and is forcing me to "fix" the problem on my own. Had I purchased this from target or another store I simply would have returned it for a new one, which is exactly what Amazon should be doing right now. The agent clearly did NOT understand what the real issue is and has caused me to rethink every purchase I make through them. I strongly suggest any reader seeing this to do the same. They could care less when they clearly are selling defective merchandise, they take zero responsibility and the consumer is on their own. Buyer beware, your house could easily burn down and they don't care! **UPDATE** I just posted this the day before yesterday and got no help from Amazon at all, and now the kettle won't shut off at all. You have to unplug it to get it to immediately start boiling water, it WILL NOT stop boiling until you unplug this extreme fire hazard. I'm handicapped and had this put on my bedside table as I do nothing except drink tea all day, so I have watched this piece of garbage go from working well to a complete disaster in less than six weeks. Don't buy this product, Amazon will not stand behind what they sell.
