Review of Soft Top Kettle

https://photos-eu.bazaarvoice.com/photo/2/cGhvdG86YnJldmlsbGUtbno/68bd0a48-8a9b-560f-9b0a-465243d12b08

We bought this Breville product just over a month ago, and at the time did notice the Kettle's heaviness when empty. It doesn't affect us, but anybody suffering from joint pain, for example arthritis will find holding the Kettle whilst filling it difficult.
At first it seemed to take longer to boil the maximum amount of water, but overtime and being used on a regular basis, the time has reduced but not significantly. The electrical cable is a good length to be able to position the Kettle on the kitchen bench.
We are pleased with the Kettle and would recommend this product in comparison to our previous cheaper priced Breville Kettle.

Plastic taste

This kettle caused water to taste like what I can only describe as plastic. This taste was present for two months after which I tried to return it. The retailer, HN, refused to give me a refund or provide me with an alternative. The item is is advertised as 'BPA free' but it  does have a plastic window for checking the water level inside the chamber. 

The kettle is heavy, loud, and over boils water for at least a few seconds. I am very surprised by all the good reviews. This is the worst kettle I've used for a long time.  I'd recommend getting one that is all glass or steel with no plastic inside the water chamber.

Gorgeous but it won’t last a year!

I bought this kettle and matching toaster (silver finish) less than a year ago. I had read some reviews about the kettle lid not staying down so have been so careful with it, really careful and yet in the last week I noticed steam escaping around the perimeter of the lid. It definitely isn’t sitting flat like it used to and now steam spots the silver so even though it’s still working now I just know it’s not going to last a year. I can’t believe how gorgeous this kettle is, how cared for and yet how it has disappointed me. As for the toaster, tell me please how on earth do I keep the top clean. It’s impossible!

Excellent quality and much quieter than other brands

We were looking for a new kettle for our new home. As soon as we saw the Breville Soft Top Luxe we were immediately drawn to its elegant style, it stood out from other kettles on display and the satin black finish looks brilliant in our predominantly white kitchen. The other feature we were looking for in the kettle was quiet operation, but as we couldn't test that, we bought it on looks and perceived quality of the Breville brand. We were delighted to find, when we first used it, that it was considerably quieter than any previous electric kettle we have owned, so we are extremely happy with our new purchase.

Disposable crap

We bought this kettle and matching toaster prior to moving into our first home. We loved the luxurious aesthetic and feel. Unlike some other people in the reviews, I felt the colour was accurately depicted with the exception of the water gauge which is just ridiculous in the online image. It is correct you can barely see it. After a couple of months, the silver coating started to peel off the “chrome” parts of the kettle so we returned it for a replacement. Now we’re about a year into the replacement and the actual blue coating as started to peel and bubble around the lid. An absolute waste of money.

Goodbye Old Friend

My Breville kettle has been through so many happy times, sad times and special moments.
For probably 20 years it’s been my constant go to and has never let me down, quick and efficient exactly there when I need it. Reliable and constant!
Having to say goodbye was like saying goodbye to a dear old friend, so very hard to do.
So without hesitation I’ve got myself a new version of my old faithful to continue with the amazing level of service I have been given by my old friend. I’m sure it too will shine to the level of service and reliability I’m used too for a very long time. Thank you Breville

Perfect kettle

Have been using the kettle for over 18 month’s now and it’s going great. The soft open is perfect to prevent steam scolds and the water level window makes it easy to see how much water it’s holding- highly recommend this kettle.

A perfect Kettle

I love this kettle, it’s the best, the handle is so comfortable to hold, it boils quickly and is so easy to refill. It sits on a very stable curved base. I love the dark blue colour. I would definitely buy this kettle again.
