Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Stainless Stell Electric Kettle Comment: It is a lot better than Krups in quality.
The water filter is built to lost without
buying a new one every 6 months.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best kettle ever - and I've used a fair few. Comment: I've had this kettle for about 2 years now and recommend it highly. It boils the water very quickly, and has a fine mesh behind the spout, so you don't get any of that unpleasant white buildup that comes with long use in your coffee/tea. It also looks great, has a very comfortable, solid handle that is nowhere near the steam from the hot water, and has a well-shaped spout (good flow, no dripping). The last reason I love this kettle is that the lid opens at the press of a button on the handle, so you don't have to fiddle with tight-fitting lids, hot/uncomfortable knobs, and the occasional burst of hot steam on your hand/forearm.
Also, the ding it makes when the water's boiled is not so loud as to be distracting, but, being used to it, I can hear it even when in another room.
Customer Rating:      Summary: great product Comment: It is a luxury not to have to boil water on the stove top, which can be a fire hazard if you forget to turn it off. This product shuts off automatically and is totally safe.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Electric kettle of my dreams Comment: We've had the Breville electric kettle for about a month and so far it's great. It's sturdy, attractive, fast, and has a nice, large capacity. It's got an appealing blue light to show it's on, and you can see your water heating up and coming to a boil. The "water's ready" ding is pleasant but audible.
Customer Rating:      Summary: broken in a short while Comment: i first purchased the SK550 model. in less than 3 uses it had to be returned for warranty repair/replacement. when they sent it back, guess what, they sent me the SK500 model.
i didn't have problems with the unit initially - not even the bad smell that seems to impact a lot of people. however, just as soon as the warranty period is over - BOOM - the unit stopped working.
i am a household of one - i used it only several times a week - not every day. so for it to go out on me in that short period of time is a waste. i liked it otherwise and it looked good. now i'm really debating if i should get another one. really have doubts though.
