The BEST Electric Kettle
5 out of 5 stars
The BEST Electric Kettle
This is my 2nd Breville electric kettle. I purchased my first one in 2018, but it finally started going kaput late last year (2023). I ordered a new one the last day of December, arriving the first week of January 2024. I started using the new Breville electric kettle this week and couldn't be happier. I use the electric kettle to heat water for my morning herbal tea and my late afternoon and evening herbal tea. The kettle is quiet. It's got this great feature of keeping water warm for up to 20-minutes, which is helpful. There are some who think that the price is too expensive. Well, I paid $129 in 2018 for this Breville electric kettle, and only $139 this time around. This is well below what regular inflation would have made the price. This is fantastic electric kettle, one that you won't regret purchasing, especially if you're able to use it for 6-years! Highly recommend.

    This unit is perfect for us as it is easy to handle, looks great and does its job as intended! We looked at other top rated units, but some had the control in the handle which made it larger to grasp. This unit has a manageable handle and is lighter as the controls are in the base. Quickly heats a full tank of water. Upright style takes less counter space than our old kettle type.
    Hopefully it will continue to operate as well over the coming years?

    5.0 out of 5 stars I use this heavily for many tasks, bought a 2nd one after 1st one failed because I liked it that much
    Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2012
    Color: SilverSize: 1.9 QuartsVerified Purchase
    I purchased this kettle in December 2009 from Amazon after owning several other kettles. The other kettles did the job of boiling water but I was tired of using a thermometer for making green tea. I got the Breville Lift And Look toaster as a gift and was impressed with the thoughtfulness of the design, so I included Breville in my search for a new kettle, even though it was pricey (at least three times what I was looking to spend). I wanted something for green tea, coffee (love the keep-warm feature), and for various jobs like making jello, hummingbird food, getting a jump on boiling a pot of pasta water, and filling the dishpan with hot water rather than letting the faucet run and waste water. Even though I initially questioned myself for spending this much, the investment paid off because we utilize all the features and put it to heavy use morning and night. We also like the lighted buttons that are easy for large man-fingers, hideaway cord feature, the fact that the base does not skid on the counter, and the plug with the big hole to easily unplug it with no strain on the power cord. We have no problems with build-up, even after 2-1/2 years, because we use nothing but filtered water in it. (We keep several tap water filtering pitchers on the counter at all times.)

    In 2011, I started having intermittent problems with the kettle leaking. Also, the kettle would occasionally keep boiling and not shut off, but this may have been due to water leaking into the electronic base. Upon careful examination, it seemed that the water was coming out from the handle somewhere. I worked around the problem by taking the kettle off the base and setting it on a folded kitchen towel immediately after each use, and unplugging the kettle for safety reasons. The plug's design (big hole for finger in the center) ensures that constant plugging and unplugging doesn't put wear on the power cord, helping to avoid further problems or safety issues. After removing the leaky kettle from the base daily, the electronic problems stopped.

    A few days ago, I had a pretty big flood from the kettle and heard a rattle. When I looked inside, I saw that one of the screws holding the handle on had fallen off completely. Time for a new kettle. The less-expensive variable-temp Cuisin*rt PerfecT*mp looks like a nice alternative, but I was concerned about the electronics being up in the handle where I could easily ruin them with water, instead of on a base away from the sink. Since I love this kettle and it does everything I want (and the price has gone down), I decided to re-purchase it. When I looked inside the new kettle, they had redesigned the way the handle is attached... no screws to fail (probably the source of the leak). I am packing the old kettle and base away for a spare in an emergency.

    There are less expensive variable-temp kettles out there of good quality and design. However, this one has become my favorite, I have the matching toaster, and I have a spare base now.

    UPDATE as of 10-02-2012: So far I've had no problems with my second kettle. I still unplug it daily just in case, and I'm still hanging on to the previous base. I'm a fan, but a cautious fan who puts safety first.

    UPDATE as of 01-15-2013: Still no problems.

    UPDATE as of 09-04-2013: Still no problems.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Tea and the Aeropress coffee
    Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2013
    Color: SilverSize: 1.9 QuartsVerified Purchase
    We've had this kettle for about a month now and we're very pleased with it. We use it four or five times a day. I use it primarily for making coffee with the Aeropress and for green tea. My wife and son use it for various teas.

    The primary reason we bought this Kettle is for its accurate temperature control and we are not disappointed. I've taken a couple of temp measurements at the 175 and 185 degree marks and it's always been within 2% of the target temp. It’s also fast at reaching temperature, but I haven’t timed it so no feedback there. I’m usually doing other things when I’m in the kitchen and it’s usually reached temp before I’m ready.

    It's also a good looking appliance and we're also Breville fans. We've had their high-end juicer with the blender attachment for two years and it's been a champ. We use it every day and it shows no real signs of wear. We had to use customer support one time about a blade issue and they were very responsive and sent us a new one for free, so we trust that they'll step up if there are issues with this kettle.

    It's very easy to clean and we have high calcium in our water so I use vinegar once a week to clean out the deposits. I try to keep the base and bottom of the kettle dry, I don’t think a little moisture will hurt it but I figure it will last longer if we keep the electrical components dry. It is a little loud; it is a thin stainless steel container so you can hear the water heating and it’s louder than an enamel stove top kettle.

    I don’t consider this a big source of BPA. Most of the surface area is stainless steel, but there is a little plastic in the kettle and you can probably remove the strip that holds in the calcium filter. If you’re really concerned with BPA there are other ways to reduce your risks like stop drinking OJ, milk, eating yogurt and everything else that is packaged in plastic.

    Other kettles that we looked at with temp control had fairly poor reviews on accuracy. If you drink a variety of teas or use coffee presses and need accurate temperature control, this kettle is great and worth the extra money. If you just need boiling water this may not be the kettle for you, there are cheaper kettles with very good ratings that boil water.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice features and finish
    Reviewed in Canada on April 25, 2016
    Color: SilverSize: 1.9 QuartsVerified Purchase
    This is a nice kettle! Of course! It's what you expect when you pay this much, right? You must really enjoy your hot water if you're really considering this product. Well, I'm with you, because I like Breville products and I have made use of this kettle's features. I think that's the main point I'd tell you if you're considering buying - make sure that the feature set makes sense for your application. I French press coffee on occasion, and my wife and I generally enjoy brewing various kinds of teas. Sometimes we also just like cooler hot water! So clicking a button and having it take care of it, is nice. This kettle is also one of the fastest I've used - must have a good motor.

    The one problem I have is that the base is constantly warm when it's plugged in. Not sure if it's just my unit - but I usually unplug it when not in use. Otherwise, I have used it daily to heat up water for my oatmeal and it works great. Two years now, and no issues. I paid quite a deal less for this compared to its current price - and even then had trouble justifying the spend - but again, if you can make use of the variable settings, it's the kettle for you!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best kettle!
    Reviewed in Canada on October 17, 2016
    Color: SilverSize: 1.9 QuartsVerified Purchase
    This is by far the best kettle I've ever owned. I wanted to spend a bit more for a higher quality product and this was worth every penny. There are multiple heat settings for avid tea drinkers and even a French Press setting which is perfect for us as we only use a French Press for coffee! The buttons to select the temperature are on the base and the labels are not directly on the buttons which is great, as I'm not worried about them rubbing off. The kettle isn't too loud, I would say normal level. It boils water quickly and the 'keep warm' feature is very handy. The lid is very easy to use with a button to open it softly. At first the lid did not open very smoothly, but after using it a dozen times it worked perfectly. This is a fantastic product (as are all the Breville appliances I own) and I highly recommend it!

    Reviewed in Canada on May 3, 2014
    Color: SilverSize: 1.9 QuartsVerified Purchase
    I was really reticent about spending that much money on a kettle and it seriously took me a year of shopping and reading reviews before deciding to get a variable temperature kettle. Now I wish I could have one at work as well. I'm somewhat of a tea addict and boiling the water at the right temp really does make a difference. Yes, I'm a little concerned about the BPA in the window, but it's nothing compared to the kettle I have to use at work, and I'm not quite ready to spend $200+ on a stovetop one.

    I sometimes find that boiling water takes longer than it should, but it's still faster than boiling water in a pot using a thermometer. I thought there might be something wrong with it the first time I used it because it would stop boiling midway and then start again, stop, start....I'm still not used to it and I'll admit it annoys me on mornings where I'm running late.

    I am not bothered by the noise it does when you first plug it in or when the water is ready. Yes, it's a little loud, but comparing it to a backing truck is a little much. I can barely hear it when I'm in another room, and I do like being warned that it's ready.

    I wish the "keep warm" option would stay on a little longer but it's definitely not a deal breaker.
