I've just returned my SECOND bonavita kettle, due to rapid rusting/corrosion of the stainless steel. Specifically, rust developed along the edge of the base inside the kettle. When this happened the first time, the retailer told me they thought it was an isolated issue and replaced the kettle. The second kettle lasted about 3 months before it went the same way. There was also corrosion evident on the oustide of the kettle, where the steel joins the plastic base.
This really should not happen in a $100+ kettle, when cheap electric kettles (not variable temp or gooseneck, but the same general function) can last a decade without any issues.
I've returned the kettle for a refund, so debating what to buy next. I will miss the convenience of the variable temp electric and gooseneck, but I guess I'll have to go for a Hario Buono type deal.
Does anyone have any suggestions or advice about my next kettle purchase?
