Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great kettle!
I bought this kettle after reading the reviews with some trepidation. Yes the kettle is heavier than most but its a good grade stainless steel. So yes it will be hot on the outside. BUT as a very heavy kettle user, this kettle is by far the best I have ever owned. It looks great with the rest of my appliances, I love the lid, and I had a metallic taste once when we first got the kettle. It cleans easily as well. Amazon sent this out quickly and it arrived in top rate condition.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - tulsakettle
The kettle looks great and works fine but the outside gets HOT. I've burnt myself several times but merely touching the side for a brief moment. NOT a kettle to own if you have children!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - 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.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 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.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - 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.
