Breville Crystal Clear Electric Kettle - 1.7L - Glass

I have been using this kettle for almost 3 months now. It is pretty neat looking, but the quality is not great. First of all the button to open the lead almost stopped properly working almost immediately, then yesterday when I attempted to clean it with soda and vinegar, the glass just burst for no reason. The kettle was not hot, and I did not use any pressure, I just put some soda and vinegar in, and wanted to start cleaning it, when glass broke for no reason. I am very disappointed in this kettle as it is of a very poor construction and quality. I DO NOT recommend it to anyone.

We bought this kettle in December 2016 and it is still rocking as hard as ever. No problems with lid or shutting off like other reviews. Our daughter lived off ramen and tea for the first 3.5 years of this kettle's life running it 7+ times a day not including the times i used it for tea, instant coffee and ramen myself. We paid a bit more for this kettle 4 years ago but it holds it's value. We love our breville and it is part of our family now.

I suppose we should be grateful that this kettle lasted four years before the irreplaceable lid hinge broke. If replacement parts were available or a quick fix posted to YouTube, I wouldn’t bother with this review. It would be a great product but for its poorly designed hinges and the out-of-pocket replacement expense.

We thought this was a good quality product but this is not the case. It looks good and that’s about it. After 2 years, the inside bottom of the kettle has started to rust. It is supposed to be good quality stainless steel. Would not recommend.

It looks really nice, but it got broken after 1 month use!!! The lid is impossible to open. It also doesn't turn-off automatically when boils. User has to turn it off manually, otherwise it keeps boiling. That's not the type of quality you except for this price!
