What's great about it: Looks Nice
What's not so great: Stops working within a year.
I purchased this kettle in the last year, and now the contacts between the kettle and base have failed and do not stay connected when the kettle is powered on. I contacted Breville, and because I did not have my receipt they asked me the batch number on the unit. I provided it, and I was told this number showed when the kettle was manufactured and that it was manufactured 3 years ago. Although the item could have been sold (to me) far later than the manufacturing date, Breville is using this manufacturing date as a reason to deny the 1 year warranty agreement.
Don't be fooled by the sleek design and name. Breville is apparently not interested in standing behind it's products any longer. This kettle is entirely too expensive to last for such a short time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: looks great, works like a charm, doesn't take up too much space
What's not so great: Cant think of any except I wish it were about $10 cheaper
I found this while looking for a replacement for an old Russel Hobbes electric kettle. Turns out the Russell Hobbes aren't made the same as they used to be, so I looked for something with similar durability and metal as opposed to the mostly plastic electric kettles out there.
I stumbled upon the Breville and was only disappointed that it was (in my mind) a little high. In the end I was probably wrong, the Cuisinart was more and less appealing aesthetically.
This is a great way to have tea, coffee (thanks to my breville, I moved to a coffee press), oatmeal, you name it.
And, I hate to admit it but one of my favorite things is the blue illuminated light and pleasent "ding" when the water is done!
It feels nice and durable and after about a year I still haven't had to de-scale it or anything like that!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: boils the water quick, the ding sound of the bell is cute,the lid is functional
What's not so great: move the water level readings to the opposite side
my family loves to boil water for coffee every morning in our new breville kettle. it looks absolutely very elegant on the counter. the blue light looks very pleasingt to the eye. the unit by it self is an eye catcher! you dont need to boil a whole lot of water for coffee. just boil what you need exactly. i would recommend this product for a bridal shower/wedding gift. use your reward coupons if u have any and save a bunch of money for it. it comes well packed and on time.
the stainless steel body is very chic!! a product everyone must have. simply simply love it!!.
