text: About 1.5 year life span
  
  I love the glass design and the shape is comfortable in one hand. My first purchase of this kettle lasted for two years of daily use. The hinge on the lid is fragile, and since the lid doesn't flip entirely back - it gets strained and broke within the year. Everything else worked fine until the auto shut-off stopped working after two years. For safety, I bought a new one which has now stopped working entirely after 17 months. I still love the design, but for $58 I expected it to last longer.
