Customer Reviews

Failed after 6 months
I bought it, and it started failing apart after a few months of moderate use. First, its light began to blink sporadically. Then the light quit working. Then the auto-shutdown system quit working - it would boil the water indefinitely, until I turn it off. Finally, it shortened my kitchen. At this point, I considered it simply dangerous, and sent it to the garbage can.

Kettle review
This was a replacement for the same kettle we had had for several years and happy with it, this one seems to take a little longer to auto off, but still satisfied.

Half good, half bad.
We've had our Breville kettle for over a year. On the positive side, this kettle boils water very quickly, is easy to clean, and looks beautiful. On the negative side, the sides of the kettle get very hot - hot enough to give you a small burn if you're not careful. And, my biggest complaint, it takes a long time to automatically shut off. Your water will be boiling away steaming up the room for several minutes before the kettle 'dings.' Still, the goods outweigh the bads. We wish it were a better kettle, especially for the money, but we are at least satisfied.
