Performs as you would expect.

I had actually purchased this kettle some years ago but noticed that it was missing as being registered in my Breville account; I decided to do so and was asked to do this review. It is very well made and holds 1.7L of water. We use filtered water so we have not noticed much scale buildup, but it will occur over time. It heats very quickly with an automatic shutoff. It sits on a power base and is easily removed to pour into a teapot or other cooking device. It "dings" when boiled and shuts off automatically when removed from the base. There is a small screen filter at the spout which should be cleaned every now and then; we often forget it is there. Recommended.

Rust inside kettle is disappointing. Not standing by your product is a major concern for me.
