 Nice look, bad quality August 25, 2010
Bill Smart (Clayton, MO United States)
I bought this kettle originally because the top opened up wide enough to clean, the kettle detached from the base, and I prefer metal over plastic. And it has a cute blue light when it's on. So far so good.
We had to send back two of them because when we got them they didn't work.
We've now had it for a year or two. It's become a bit of a game to figure out exactly how to rotate/position the kettle on the base so it stays on/heating. It's been getting worse - a few months ago I thought I was just getting forgetful and not turning it on after filling it. Then I saw the light go out just after turning it on, the motion of the water sloshing around (I guess) breaking the connection. Now it's very difficult to find a position that works, and the slightest touch turns it back off again.
It's also a bit slower to heat water than my last kettle (which is no longer available) but not as slow as the kettle we have at work.
My guess is that the induction connection in the base is just poorly designed. Anyways, guess we'll be buying a new (different) kettle.
Oh yeah, it does get pretty hot.
 I'll never go back to heating water on the stove August 22, 2010
J. Swartz (Oakland, CA USA)
We use this to boil water for making coffee with a french press, for making tea, and for heating water for pasta when the stove's just not fast enough to do it alone. It heats up water very quickly, needs no maintenance (there's always some water in it, no leakage or rusting) and *bings* with a pleasant tone when the water's boiled, turning itself off. There's no chance we'll go back to a regular kettle now.
Amazon's Questionable, "Service" August 18, 2010
Anonymous (Los Angeles)
This is a review of Amazon's service, not one of the actual kettle. I ordered this kettle 5 days ago and not only has it not shipped, but Amazon won't allow me to cancel my order. If I'd known that I'd be left hanging, I never would have ordered from them. Amazon usually has great service; with this order, they FAILED.
Kettle lasted just over a year and died August 2, 2010

A nice looking pricey kettle but it has a problematic heating base. Shortly after about a year of use the base's electrical connector stopped functioning making the unit useless as it wouldn't heat the water. The warranty is only good for a year so Breville would not replace or repair. When I contacted Breville they offered me a discount if I wanted to purchase the same kettle but who wants to spend more money on the same kettle after such poor performance.
excellent electric kettle August 2, 2010
clare cooper (louisville, ky United States)
Breville sent me this model to replace another Breville tea kettle which broke within the warranty period. I was so pleased with it that I purchased another one for our vacation home. It is an efficient and good looking kettle and because it is stainless steel it doesn't leave a bad taste in the boiled water as other tea kettles do that I have purchased in the past.
