We bought this kettle in black truffle recently to match our new kitchen. We've been using it for less than 6 months. It works beautifully, however the paint around the rim, under the lid has started to peel/flake. Queried this with Breville, who said this is normal wear on the coloured variety due to moisture. They were happy to replace it, but this would be a recurring problem and I'm not sure how many times they would replace it as I'm sure the problem would recur. We have the option of having the stainless steel one, which won't peel, but it's not half as handsome as this one. Dilemma. Other than that, it's a a lovely kettle. I would've given it 5 stars if the paint wasn't an issue.

Pot electrically broke. Will not turn on to heat water. It’s only a year and 3 months old. I bought it at Breville. I called them to see if it was under warranty. I was on the phone for an hour and when someone picked up, they hung up on me. I called back and the message was for them to call me back so I chose that Feature, they called me back within a half hour and nobody was on the phone when I answered. I called back again and waited about 45 minutes for someone to pick up and finally gave up because I needed to do my errands. I recommend not buying this pot for the price you have to pay for something that lasts A little over a yearI gave it two stars because I really love the way it worked Before it broke and it looks beautiful in my kitchen, but that’s it

Until now, I have been a staunch Breville supporter because I love their design and functionality. This is the third time I will need to replace the teapot. It either just stops working or the "black tea" light and start button light up red, indicationg it is heating up, but then just goes off or changes to white. I literally have to stand over it and keep pressing buttons until it decides to work, it just took me 2 minutes, 3 seconds to get it started.....sooo frustrating and a waste of time. I don't know why I keep paying so much money for this Breville, just to continually have this problem. Customer service doesn't care. I also have the Breville toaster with a touch button instead of lever. This is my second toaster with the same problem: the heating elements ... MoreUntil now, I have been a staunch Breville supporter because I love their design and functionality.

I also have the Breville toaster with a touch button instead of lever. This is my second toaster with the same problem: the heating elements don't work after a while on one side, so your toast is only half cooked. In the beginning, it toasts beautifully, the most even I've ever seen, but after a couple of months: one-sided toast. I came to this site to compare features with teapot from another manufacturer that is half this price; I will be buying that one as a replacement.

It doesn't matter how good the product. If you create a kitchen appliance that has a tiny short cord that makes it so the product MUST be placed directly in front of an outlet, you have to re-arrange your entire kitchen to accommodate where this manufacturer has decided their product will be used in your own private kitchen. I wasn't born yesterday, and neither was my kitchen, which already has a rationale AND A PLACE for the products I have PREVIOUSLY bought. They are not doing it for MY sake, but their own. It reminds me of the voice mail message that tells people to call 911 if you're having an emergency. DUH. Manufacturers should mot presume to do my thinking or organizing for me. I have to decide whether to entirely upend my kitchen so I can get a long enough ... MoreIt doesn't matter how good the product.

So, about two years back, we snagged this kettle, thinking it would be our daily rockstar. Looks-wise, it's still a champ, but sadly, its performance has taken a nosedive. The base powers up fine, but the boiling action? Not happening anymore. We tried to be eco-friendly and get just the base replaced, but guess what? Sold out.After a few days of resorting to the old pot for boiling water, my husband decided we needed a fresh start with a different kettle brand. By the way, we also own a Breville Air Fryer toaster oven and a coffee maker. Breville was our go-to for gifts. As cool as they seem, all three of these gadgets have been nothing but trouble and quite the dent in our wallets. No more Breville appliances for us—they might look good, but the charm fades when ... MoreSo, about two years back, we snagged this kettle, thinking it would be our daily rockstar.

I bought this kettle to replace a Kitchenaid kettle that died after I had owned it for 20 years. Kitchenaid has changed some things about their kettles and so I decided to do some research and see if there was something better. I found this one and so far, so good. I really hope this one lasts as long as my previous kettle! I love that it has the different temp settings pre-set with buttons, but I wish you could choose a temp other than the pre-sets. It does hold for 20 minutes, but my previous one held for 30 and I could use the extra 10 minutes. It has a large capacity and I like the release for the lid being on the handle. The pour is nice and doesn't end up spilling hot water where it isn't supposed to go.
I purchased this kettle 12/09/23 for a Christmas present for my Mother. She has been asking repeatedly for a kettle since hers broke. I received this item on the 19th, and it arrived in a box that had been resealed, and was covered in tape - there were three layers. Inside the product box didn't look crisp, new, nor perfectly straight. Once I saw the item I was even more appalled at the condition as it had scratches on the body, strange dark marks on the B in Breville, and other dark marks all over. It certainly was not as shiny and pristine as pictured. My guess is I was sent a used product? I don't know - definitely wasn't new, definitely was touched before. For the price, I expect to get a new product. I immediately chatted with a Representative. I told her it ... MoreI purchased this kettle 12/09/23 for a Christmas present for my Mother.

For the price, I expect to get a new product. I immediately chatted with a Representative. I told her it was a Christmas present and it arrived damaged. I was told I can do an exchange but it would arrive in JANUARY! No effort to try and get me the product beforehand. I agreed as I was given no other choice. Being the 19th I am not sure if anyone will deliver before Christmas now anyway. I would have hoped QVC would make more of an effort to correct thier error. I stated to the agent Whitney, can you make sure you forward my complaints about the condition this item was received so this does not happen again, and I was ignored. So, I have no idea what I'll get in January. No present for my Mother for Christmas, waste of $200 on my credit card with no product to show for it, and no real effort by QVC to take accountability for what they sent and make an effort to make the customer happy. Very disappointed in this whole transaction. I would have just ordered from somewhere else if I knew QVC shipped used products.
Initially, I hated the short cord, but managed to get it to work. I read the instructions and they were easy. I love the IDEA of the variable temperature and it worked fine for 3 days. I drink French press coffee and several different types of tea; white tea, black tea, green tea, herbal tea. Unfortunately, it stopped working after 3 days. I tried everything to get it to work again but was not successful. I notice there are other complaints of this item not working. It is taking me a long time to return it. Williams Sonoma agent was rude, did not listen to what I said, asked me for the "product number: when I had no way of knowing it. She did not listen very well, claiming that I had asked for a replacement, which is ridiculous. If a device is made so poorly that it ... MoreInitially, I hated the short cord, but managed to get it to work. I read the instructions and they were easy.

She did not listen very well, claiming that I had asked for a replacement, which is ridiculous. If a device is made so poorly that it stops working after 3 days, then I sure don't want to risk it again - ESPECIALLY because others have reported that it stopped working after a short time. I kept trying to give her information and she just talked over me every time, so I asked to speak to her supervisor SEVERAL times. She did not want to. Finally, she just hung up on me. I called back and was put on hold for a long time, then Williams Sonoma system hung up on me. I tried calling on another telephone line in my house and was put on hold for more than 12 minutes. Then the system "rang" as if someone's phone was being called, and it hung up on me again. This is the problem with poorly made merchandise. You have to run the gauntlet of the merchant's telephone system and bad customer service agents. I am disabled and home-bound, and I don't have a printer at home. Getting it returned is going to be a nightmare, I can tell. I can't believe this thing cost me $200.00 plus tax! DON'T BUY THIS.
I absolutely loved this kettle when I first purchased it a couple of years ago and raved about it to all my friends and on social media. Not only was it attractive but it worked perfectly. I found the specific tea settings so useful when I was studying to become a tea sommelier as the pre-set temperatures made it so much easier to brew the different teas properly. Then suddenly overnight, the kettle malfunctioned while it was off. I woke up to beeping sounds and several illuminated lights. When I tried to use it, only the black/herbal tea and green tea setting would illuminate but it would only start brewing on the black/herbal tea setting and only if I pressed the Keep Warm button before Start. None of the other settings work. I tried calling support to ... MoreI absolutely loved this kettle when I first purchased it a couple of years ago and raved about it to all my friends and on social media.

None of the other settings work. I tried calling support to troubleshoot but that kind of assistance isn't offered. I asked about repair but they said there is nowhere I can take my kettle to be repaired. Their only solution was to discard it and buy a new product, with a measly discount offer, at the detriment to the environment and my pocketbook. For a $300 kettle, I expected the quality to far surpass my $20 kettle, which is still functioning after 20 years. Apparently the cost of the item does not match the quality. Would not purchase again.
I recently purchased this kettle within the last two months. So far, it has been working without mishap. The option of using different temperatures for an array of teas and coffee is a luxury that my last kettle did mot have. I am enjoying this new function immensely! The colour is beautiful and matches with my red Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I previously owned two other Breville tea kettles that only lasted one to two years. Unfornately, upon near exhaustive research I do not think most kettles last longer than this. In summary, might as well go with Breville as their return policy is better than others. Also, I love supporting an Aussie brand.😊🇦🇺
