  I bought a John Lewis TK17BCJLU Kettle from johnlewis.com - I had it less than two months when it started switching off before the water was boiled.
  
  I took it back to their Newcastle upon Tyne branch. The assistant went to see a manager, she said when she came back, "the trouble is limescale build-up". I looked inside and there was a very thin line of limescale about an 1.5 inches long. The assistant also said "The kettle guarentee does not cover it for limesale build-up" and "The manufacturer will not take back any more of these kettles". She told me to descale the kettle.
  
  I descaled the kettle and it still switched off. I took it back to the Newcastle branch where a manager said "The limescale gets into the switch."
  
  I live alone and I'm at work four days a week - the kettle was only seven weeks old - I refill the kettle with fresh water every use.
  
  This kettle is not fit for use if it can't handle such a small amount of limescale, plus, if the manager is right when she said "The limescale gets into the switch." this kettle is dangerous.

  We bought this item On line - the delivery service was ok although a 2-9pm time slot was not very convenient!
  However , Returns service rubbish!!!
  When we opened the package, which was a DVD unit,( described as oak solids and veneers) we realised that it did not match the description and it was much cheaper looking than ikea Billy! There was no solid oak and the veneered sides were finished with a paper faced back edge.
  Phoned customer services within 15 minutes of delivery and was told they would contact us to arrange collection. We waited patiently and they never phoned. We had to phone them -several times only to be told their delivery/ collection service is busy ans so we are having to wait two weeks from delivery for it to be collected so it is cluttering up our house!
  Will not deal with them again
