 Absolutely outstanding June 18, 2008
N. Lepoutre-Baldocchi (Oakland, CA USA)
We spent a few months last year in an apartment in Montpellier France. The apartment came equipped with an old Philips hot water kettle. At first my husband poo-pood the idea of such an appliance but quickly came around to the notion that this was just dandy. Upon our return to California he instructed me to find a hot water kettle, find one fast and he didn't care about the price!!! Wow! I did care about the price and I cared about the quality. After researching for a while I found the Breville to be consistently in the top 5.
I volunteer for the Oakland Museum White Elephant Sale. Lo and behold, there was my Breville kettle in the appliance department. I was concerned about it being a "smelly" one, but decided to take a chance. Best $15 bucks I ever spent. Not a day goes by without my using the kettle for tea, hot water for pasta, instant cereal, soaking stone cut oatmeal, anything at all. No increase in our electrical bill either.
If ever it dies, I will happily pay full price for it (or Amazon's price!).
Love it! June 16, 2008

I bought this because my regular old stove top kettle had started to rust and the water was tasting funny. I wish I had bought it years ago, and here's why:
--Quick to heat the water
--Turns off automatically
--Stays hot
--Odorless, even when brand new
--Holds more than my old Calphalon
It would have been nice not to have to worry about the whistle when my daughter was still a baby and napped. Sometimes I would leave the whistle open, but then ran the risk of boiling off all the water and ruining the kettle, especially since I had serious baby brain at that point. If you're a tea drinker, this is just the ticket.

Quick delivery, well packaged, followed instructions, no smell,
quick boiling. It's a winner. What's not to like. Buy it!
Sure, the outer surface of the all stainless steel gets hot, just
as all kettles used to. No interior plastic smell or leaching.
Did you ever see a shape as beautiful on your kitchen counter?
Well, perhaps, but not as a steam kettle.
Breville Electric Kettle June 8, 2008
Richard V. Chambers (Colonial Beach, VA United States)
Stylish, efficient way to heat water for tea, or any other item that reqires a small quantity of water. Very useful, very helpful, requires very little counter space.
 Poorly designed and constructed. June 2, 2008
Harpscape (California, USA)
The top hinge on my first Breville kettle broke within 8 months. The (warranty) replacement kettle Breville sent started leaking around the water window within 18 months. These problems were not caused by poor care or maintenance. I read the manual and followed all of Breville's instructions on care and cleaning.
No more Breville products for me!
