Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this to replace my Capresso 259.03 H2O Plus Glass Water Kettle, Polished Chrome. I decided to try something new because this one had an idea on how to prevent mineral build up. Well, while that turned out great, it had 2 problems: 1) IT SMELLS! The water has to pass through a plastic spout and it leaves the poured water with a horrible plastic smell 2) Too complicated for their own good. The lid has a button you push to open it. The capresso you have to (OH NO!!) lift it yourself. The difference: The mechanism for openning the lid on this one broke. I never had a problem with the capresso. And the replacement (I tried another one incase the problems I was having were just a fluke) had a small little filter screen for the water pop out and I couldn't get it back in (I could see this as useful for loose leaf tea). I really liked no more mineral deposits, but I simply can't live with the smell.
