Excellent industrial design, terrible electro-mechanical design We have two of these, one at each of our houses. We bought the second because we were initially extremely impressed with the industrial design and and accuracy of the temp control.

Breville – poor service I initially bought a cheap kettle of this kind but after a few days the lid would not open. So I got this one thinking it would be the Rolls Royce of kettles only to find out that it would have the same problem. Not as bad but sometimes the lid will open about half way. I had to open the lid with a tool but I can open this one fully by hand. However if I wanted to do that I could have saved myself $100 and kept the other one. If I buy a Rolls Royce I expect to be able to enter through the doors…
I purchased the Breville BKE820 XL, electric tea kettle … I purchased the Breville BKE820 XL, electric tea kettle in March of 2015. Today, December 4, 2015 the Breville tea kettle no longer works; the start/stop button is non functioning, the notification of the water reading a boiling state no longer works. I believe I paid close to $100.00 for this appliance, for that amount of money spent, I do expect the item to function for the one year warranty. Don’t buy a Breville………..
