Auto off does not work on some of these. DANGEROUS!
I saw a couple of reviews that said that the kettle did not shut off by itself. I looked at the date of the reviews (that I saw) and they were at least a year old, so I figured that they had a problem with the switch a year ago, but surely they fixed it by now, (Dec 2017). When I received the product I tested it and it seemed to work fine, it shut off all by itself, Cool! We were planning on moving right after the holidays, so I put it in the garage with the other stuff I purchased for the new house. The first morning in the new house, I fired up the kettle, started my morning routine, make sure everyone is up and getting ready for school etc, and when I came back to the kitchen this thing was at a full rolling boil, pumping out steam like a chain smoker that just got off a 12 hour flight! Even the plastic handle was hot to the touch! The underside of my cabinets were absolutely dripping with water over an area about 4 feet wide. I feel very strongly that this item is dangerous and I just wanted to let people know.. I will update if I hear anything back from the warranty department.
