 Best kettle ever - and I've used a fair few. October 10, 2008
A. Nakhshon (Toronto, Canada)
I've had this kettle for about 2 years now and recommend it highly. It boils the water very quickly, and has a fine mesh behind the spout, so you don't get any of that unpleasant white buildup that comes with long use in your coffee/tea. It also looks great, has a very comfortable, solid handle that is nowhere near the steam from the hot water, and has a well-shaped spout (good flow, no dripping). The last reason I love this kettle is that the lid opens at the press of a button on the handle, so you don't have to fiddle with tight-fitting lids, hot/uncomfortable knobs, and the occasional burst of hot steam on your hand/forearm.
Also, the ding it makes when the water's boiled is not so loud as to be distracting, but, being used to it, I can hear it even when in another room.

It is a luxury not to have to boil water on the stove top, which can be a fire hazard if you forget to turn it off. This product shuts off automatically and is totally safe.
Electric kettle of my dreams September 30, 2008
nsx12 (Evanston, IL USA)
We've had the Breville electric kettle for about a month and so far it's great. It's sturdy, attractive, fast, and has a nice, large capacity. It's got an appealing blue light to show it's on, and you can see your water heating up and coming to a boil. The "water's ready" ding is pleasant but audible.
 broken in a short while September 17, 2008
Cris Cris (Sunnyvale, CA United States)
i first purchased the SK550 model. in less than 3 uses it had to be returned for warranty repair/replacement. when they sent it back, guess what, they sent me the SK500 model.
i didn't have problems with the unit initially - not even the bad smell that seems to impact a lot of people. however, just as soon as the warranty period is over - BOOM - the unit stopped working.
i am a household of one - i used it only several times a week - not every day. so for it to go out on me in that short period of time is a waste. i liked it otherwise and it looked good. now i'm really debating if i should get another one. really have doubts though.
