Thank you for your kind feedback and high rating. We sincerely apologise for the issues you encountered. The kettle has now been replaced with a brand-new one, as the initial new kettle was unfortunately broken on arrival. Regarding the odour, while rare, such occurrences can happen in a care home environment but we are actively working to address this and maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and comfort. We truly value your understanding and ongoing support.
