One hot kettle January 7, 2009
In search of a new kettle we discovered the Breville after looking at many other types. We really liked this one because it has a large top opening making it easy to fill. It also fits well into our refrigerator's filtered water dispenser. When switched on, the blue light looks very nice and when completed the little ding of a bell announces it is ready. Overall, we like this kettle a lot and really the only thing that may be a slight negative is that it seems to boil the water a little slower than our previous type.
 Great Electric Kettle January 6, 2009
I'm very happy with the Breville electric kettle. It takes about 5 minutes for water to boil. The only other feature I would have liked to have had is a warm function so I could keep hot water available for tea a little longer. This kettle shuts off automatically when the water boils.
Awesome Kettle!! January 4, 2009
I have had my kettle for less than a week, and I have used it every night. It is nice and sturdy and obviously of great quality. You push the button and the lid opens smoothly. It heats up quickly and is holds a large amount of water for what I want/desire. The light lights up the amount indicator nicely; would be nice of that was lit all the time instead of only when you turn on the kettle, but that is such a small issue given the quality of this kettle. I only had to run one pot of water to boil to get the smell out and every pot since has been perfect. I'm very happy with my purchase!
 Worked fine for awhile January 1, 2009
Bought this kettle in 2006. Like others have said, it gets hot but it is a kettle so no problem. The real problem is it no longer shuts down once the water is boiling. It worked fine for about 6 months and then began to take longer and longer to shut down. At about one year it totally quit shutting down. I have never let it boil dry so I do not know what happens in this situation. Maybe there is a separate "boil dry sensor" which would turn it off in this potentially dangerous situation. It does look nice.
2 years and counting December 31, 2008
We have had this kettle for 2 years now and use it several times everyday. It is faster than microwave or stove.
I just did a test and it heated 9 cups of water to a rolling boil in 8 minutes.
Have not seen any of the reported issues with odour or leaking.
