BrevilleBKE700BSS Soft Top Pure Hot Water Kettle, 7 Cup, Brushed Stainless Steel

Excellent, durable product. Had my first one for 7 yrs and water accidentally flooded the base so it broke. Immediately got another one.

Stylish, sturdy and it works very well. I definitely recommend it.

Graduated to this after trying several modern glass kettles. Nice to be back to having a durable item that heats the water so much faster than the glass ones and keeps it hot. Appears to be solid and of good quality. Worth every penny

My old Brawn discontinued water kettle finally died and I research tons of different new kettles and I ordered this one based on my research and other reviews and I'm very happy with it. The on off button and chime when the water is ready is very nice, and I like how the button that opens the top lid is in slow motion. The only thing is that it doesn't seem to heat up quite as quick as my old Braun one, but only by less than a minute I would say.

This kettle is super fast to heat water and loaded with features like auto shutoff if too little water is in it, a bell that dings when it's done boiling. It is nicely balanced, and holds a lot of water. Sadly, it only lasted four years. I seldom throw away appliances without trying to fix them and this was no exception. After pulling apart the innards a couple of times to get at the two contacts that control the power to clean them, I gave up. You can see one of the two in the bottom right of this picture mounted on a clever arm that is operated by several different mechanisms. The rest of the innards were in great shape but as with many devices, the power contacts finally failed. Do not try to repair this yourself...mechanical and electrical hazards are present inside when the kettle is opened and powered up.

An excellent kettle that will last for ten years, or that how long we had our last one so when it was time to get a new kettle there was no question which we would choose.

Before ordering this electric kettle, I was very concerned about the excessive beeping noise that several reviewers had complained about over the years. Either they were way too picky, or Breville listened to their complaints and changed the beepiness. It's not a loud beep whatsoever. It's quite dainty actually, and it's not too frequent either.It defaults to Celsius temp when you unplug it and plug it back in, but it's very easy to switch back to Fahrenheit. I like the multiple temp feature. Seems to work well. With that said, I'm actually a fan of boiling my water completely first before using it for tea.This was supposed to replace an older Breville electric kettle that does not have variable temp settings. Unfortunately, my mother, who uses it the most, was not happy with the fact that this has the plastic window completely exposed to the water. Plus, this new one feels less sturdy than the old one because it weighs less, which would actually be a benefit for people who have trouble holding heavy items.We ended up giving the new one to our son for a Christmas gift. He loves it.

The kettle gets constant use in our household and has been quite durable throughout that time. It heats water quickly and shuts off with a quiet bell sound.
