Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Sometimes when I'm purchasing anything, I sorta look for Brand names that have a market history. That's why I selected this item. The price was right, a known brand, and I needed a pot to boil water... a 'win, win' situation or so I thought. From the beginning this pot gave off a smell, which I couldn't identify... whenever I boiled water in it. I thought it was maybe... because it was new. Around it's third/fourth use... the smell still persisted and intensified. And to my total astonishment and shock... the teapot top flew into the air, water shot up towards the ceiling. I have an electric coil stove... and sparks started shooting up from around the coils. After finally getting everything under control, we discovered a charred 1 inch hole in the bottom of the pot. Honestly, I would not recommend that anyone purchase this item.
