I honestly can't even remember when I purchased this kettle...it's been years already. It's a very reliable worker in my kitchen that is used multiple times each day. Heats extremely quickly. Great capacity which is ideal for making a pour over pot of coffee, and several cups of tea for guests at the same time. I've had no problems with it.

i just bought my THIRD Crystal Clear Kettle. Obviously I like them. However the new one arrived yesterday with an extremely short cord. After reading the Breville Crystal Clear enclosed booket I discovered that now Breville considers the previously regular length cord to be a Hazard waiting to happen. My kitchen cupboards HANG over my counter top. The previously length cord was good because I could move the kettle away from underneath the cupboards. However now it boils the water directly under the cupboards. Not a good idea as steam will eventually cause quite a problem for me relating to the kitchen cupboards. No...there is nowhere in the kitchen that this kettle can be plugged into away from the cupboards.

After 14 months my kettle just stopped turning on.
