Pass On This Kettle, Unless You're Patient...

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2007
The Bottom Line: A great kettle, with a horrible residue of some sort, which causes bad taste/smell.
Review: I needed to replace my Russel Hobbs kettle and after looking around a bit, I decided on this one. I have several Breville items and have been happy with them. This one has been something of a mixed bag, though, and here is why.

The Look...

Given the competition, not bad

Date of Review:  Feb 5, 2008
The Bottom Line: This heater may only be worth it if it's on sale. It is a bit pricier than the competition yet does the same job (boils water).
Review: I picked up this water heater from bed bath and beyond (with the mailed 20% off coupon). It is the most attractive of the available offerings, but also the most expensive.

I first looked into getting one of these after I used my friend's...

Breville SK500XL IT HAS ISSUES!

Date of Review:  Sep 28, 2009
The Bottom Line: Purchase extended warranty if you buy this kettle. Otherwise, buy a well made stove top stainless kettle.
I give the kettle high marks for design and quality (aside from problems noted).
Review: I purchased this kettle about 2 years ago from a department store for about $80.00 Canadian. It lasted about 18 months. I chose it over others because of its functionality, that it was stainless as apposed to my previous plastic kettle and the fact...

Date of Review:  Mar 13, 2008

Review: I have struggled with kettle burnouts and flaws for years. Finally I have found a kettle I am happy with in every way. This kettle adds aesthetically to my kitchen, with it's quality construction and materials and pleasing light blue incidental...

Otherwise fair, but I got burned--literally!

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: Look around for a unit that is more "user friendly" unless you like the looks above all else.
Review: Replaced our old kettle (it finally bit the dust) with this one. Overall it seems nice, though I agree about the poor visibility of the water level gage.
Now, how was I burned(?). The handle invites your thumb and/or forefinger to touch the...

Excellent and Functional design

Date of Review:  May 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: The best electric kettle I've ever seen. Durable, functional and meets every expectation
Review: I purchased TWO different electric kettles and the Bodum performed well in quickly heating, but every time the lid is opened, water that has condensed on the inside of the lid drips on the countertop - a BIG problem in an office setting and a...

Very well built kettle

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2008
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended. Perfect for the job it was intended to do... boil water.
Review: My partner and I got tired of heating water for tea on the stove since we heat at least 2 gal per day! I decided to get it for Christmas. It looks great and best of all performs just the way it should. It is very sturdy and solidly built. There is...

Now this is a sweet kitchen tool! Pure class act.

Date of Review:  Jan 30, 2007
Review: I recently purchased this cordless electric kettle and love it. It not only looks and feels like a very high quality product, but it performs well too. After owning a cheaper model recently that was very disappointing, this kettle is excellent and...

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is a very nice looking kettle, but it takes a long time to get the water boiled!
Review: I actually bought this cordless electric kettle by Breville after a salesman at Crate and Barrel convinced me that it is the "Cadillac" of all electric kettles. While I do like this for many reasons, I do have a few gripes with it and so do not...

Cheaply made

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2008
Review: Bought this kettle and when I took it out of the box, I found the stainless steel side was flawed with black in the grain of the metal. When I went to use the replacement kettle, I found that the automatic boil shut-off did not work. I felt the...
