Elice Ivy Writes

About six months ago I had surgery and I was unable to go up and down the stairs.  Since my room was upstairs and so was my bed that's where I spent most of my time.  I wanted to be able to still do some simple things for myself so I purchased an electric teapot, This one to be exact!  Ovente Tea Pot . For the first few weeks it was perfect. Then I noticed small things like the black casing coming off in the boiling water.  Then a few months in the lid broke off then a short time after that the whole side pulled away from the bottom.  I was pissed because I really loved it.  So to save you time patience and frustration pick a better one than I did!  Do you have an electric teapot which one should I get this time!
