It BROKE!
I drink tea every day and loved the idea of an all glass tea kettle. First of all, I read another review that said the 'ball' on top is glued on...mine was screwed on but did come loose easily. Second, the seal around the top was either too tight or not tight enough because the lid would pop off the tea kettle when it came to a full boil. So I removed the seal, no big deal...but THEN I noticed it...the crack...just under the base of the handle...1" long. I didnt even save the box and didn't use the thing longer than a week. Very disappointed. If it didnt have all of the warnings written on it I might have considered using it as a planter.
Broken after 3 months use
My wife bought this kettle 3 months ago and it was broken yesterday.
Happening : Cracking the kettle bottom with normal use
The cracking around 15cm around the bottom ...
My wife does like this kettle very much but she does not know why this happen...

We are wondering we may need to return to bodum to check the the reason why this was happened.

As noticed, We like to have the bodum product very much but this kettle is marked ? or less to suggest you to buy !!! ... Read More
Keeping the kettle on
For a long time, I'd been looking for whistling glass water kettle that didn't look like a diner coffee pot with the bulbous bottom, wide plastic lip at the top, and the angled plastic handle. I wanted one in a format that could be used on either a stove top or in a microwave. After conducting several searches online, it seemed that the Bodum Clara Kettle had all the features I wanted. While large enough for a good quantity of water (59 oz or 1.75 liters), it is compact enough to fit in a small microwave. (The whistler insert and lid must be removed for microwave heating as they are made of metal.)
I ordered the kettle through Amazon marketplace and was delighted when my order arrived quickly and carefully packaged. I went to test ... Read More
A health conscious purchase
I searched for weeks for a safe non-metal kettle. This was the only one that met my criteria. I thought it was a little pricey, but since this was the only one I could find I purchased it anyway. I'm so glad I did! I love it and everyone who uses it loves it too. Once you have the kettle you never really notice the writing on the glass.
Fantastic
lot of people talk about the writing on this kettle, but unless you gonna sit there for 10 minutes to watch it boil, I don't see who cares. The writing is not even that big of a deal, besides if you are looking for a clean way to boil your water this is the kettle for you, it was for me.
Love this kettle, have had it for a month now, use it 2 to 3 times a day, and I have no complaints. ;)
