The lid was getting more and more difficult to open and now won't open at all.

First one the lid broke & Cusinart was prompt to replace with a new one with me having to pay for shipping, had to return the old one though

Then I can't touch the lid or I'll burn my

Then the top lid does not open.

Great except for the fact that the lid broke almost immediately and refuses to stay shut.

The only problem I've had is the lid on the unit.

Bought this is January 2016.Worked great, kind of heavy!July 2016, lid refused to open

The lid became rusted and ceased to function any longer in under two years

The lid broke after the first year, no longer opening with the push button

Today, the lid completely fell to pieces and the kettle is no longer usable

Maybe if they used some better thermally stable plastic for the lid (such as polycarbonate) then the lid would work as designed

Now the top lid does not close.

Top lid to narrow as well.

The lid on the first one broke after about 6 months but was still usable.

The lid is jammed after a few months.

I air dry with lid open and clean wipe inside with a paper towel.
