Worked well for 2 years then lid failed

https://photos-us.bazaarvoice.com/photo/2/cGhvdG86YnJldmlsbGV1c2E/b5094d8e-9fca-5238-96ad-55b1430f4907

I was satisfied with this kettle while it lasted. It boiled water quickly. This was my first glass kettle and I preferred the glass body to the plastic bodies of my previous kettles.
However, the lid failed after only 2 years of use. One of the two plastic hinges sheared from the base causing the lid opening mechanism not to work and the lid to pop open after boiling. Similar failure modes are reported in many other reviews above. No spare parts are available. I hope this review will encourage Breville to improve the design since designing a reliable hinge ought not to be a difficult thing to do.

Really good but don’t last

I’m a fan of this brand and I thought this will be as strong and reliable as my coffee machine, toaster, oven and coffe grinder. But it was really disappointing to see that after almost 2 year the handle gave up and now the lid does not close anymore. I really love this kettle but it’s dissapointing to see that didn’t last long and apparently there is no way to repair it.

Problems with replacement product

We bought the original water kettle in 9/2019 and were very pleased with it. Water boiled so quickly and loved the clear glass so we could see how full it was. In early June 2022 it failed -- the switch turned to the "on" position, but the switch light did not turn on and the kettle did not heat up.  As the one year warranty had expired,  they replaced it for a reduced price.  It seemed fine but within about 3 weeks, the on/off switch on the replacement kettle would not move to the "on" position no matter how hard we pressed it.  We are now awaiting the the 3rd kettle to arrive. We are hopeful that #3 will not fail for a long time.  If it does we are probably done with this Crystal Clear product!

Stuck lid, unfixable

We've had ours for about 4 years now. After the first year, the lid got stuck in the closed position, and it appears that there is nothing you can do to fix it without breaking something more. We're lucky in that we can pour our filtered water in through the spout, but you better be strong otherwise you pour. We have to fill it over the sink. 

Even though we only use filtered water, you can see that the plate is oxidizing in the shape of the element. We were able to clean the rust once before the lid broke. We won't be replacing it with Breville.

Broken within 2 months of purchase

I bought my Breville kettle in December 2021. Almost immediately i noticed that the on button would occasionally switch off mid-boil, requiring you to press it again to complete the boil (once you'd actually noticed it had turned off). As time has gone on, this has only become more frequent and more frustrating in turn. To complete a boil, it now requires re-pressing the button 2-3 times consistently. Really annoying to have such a basic fault on what is a premium product of its kind on the market. Truly infuriating.

Lid mechanism failed

The lid got stuck and would not close. The rubber sealer came out from its groove and could stretch back in place, causing the lid to stay half open. This caused a hard time feeling the water, but more importantly, the kettle would no longer shut off automatically. I have had the kettle for two years and enjoyed it until, out of the blue, it failed. I love Bervill products, and I recently bought a traffic compact microwave.

Bad zeal

I absolutely loved my tea kettle until the lip seal around the glass started to lift. It’s near impossible to put back and just flairs out.

18months and falling apart

We got this kettle as a gift 18 months ago. I've never been happy with the stained look on the bottom where the element heats, but aside from that it's worked okay until 18months down the track. It firstly wouldn't switch off, just kept boiling and boiling dangerously until you manually switched it off, then the lid fell apart, the seal came out and you can't put it back in. Piece of rubbish. We are chucking it out for a new kettle. You'd think it should last longer, sadly, it's not good quality.
