Had a glass kettle that took half a minute to turn off, spilt water everywhere then the filter broke off so was time for a new kettle. Was unwilling to spend £85 for a New Dualit so hunted around for a basic model that had a lift off lid that tend to be more reliable in the long term (lids tend to jam open or closed, especially in very hard water areas).This dark grey Breville ticks the right boxes in capacity, handle comfort, pouring, ease of filling, ease of returning to its base & time to turn off once boiled. Overfilling slightly when new got rid of the taste of plastic.Maybe not the fastest to turn off but perfectly acceptable. The window behind the handle is translucent so not the clearest gauge.

The removable lid makes the kettle easy to fill and clean. The handle is comfortable to hold and the kettle pours well. The kettle is also nice looking. However, it had a really unpleasant taste and smell. I twice tried Breville's recommendation of boiling a full kettle of water, adding two tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda, leaving it to soak overnight, discarding the water and then reboiling a couple of time with clean water. This only partially got rid of the unpleasant taste. I then found a recommendation on the internet to boil the kettle, add 4 Steradent tablets, leave for at least an hour (I left it overnight), and then to empty the kettle and reboil it with clean water.

What a fab kettle this is! It looks very smart in the kitchen, is easy ti fill, boils quickly, isn't too heavy for grandma to pick up, and pours without dribbling everywhere. Paired with the matching toaster, they make very decent components of a breakfast bar setup. Our only criticism is that they are quite pricey. We've never spend this much on a kettle (or toaster) in our lives, but they are both excellent things, and over the time we've been using them they've proved their worth.

This Breville Lustra kettle in Storm Grey looks extremely smart, finished in metallic pearlescent dark grey plastic with stainless steel accents outside, and a fully stainless steel interior. The concealed heating element is 3kW. It has a 1.7l water capacity, which makes around 6 to 8 cups of tea. The kettle sits on the electric base and lifts completely clear for pouring. The base has coiled cable underneath which you can adjust the length of to suit your needs. Great!

I really don't understand the negative reviews for this toaster. After putting up with very poor results from a very expensive Dualit toaster for sometime we decided to treat ourselves to something new, so we ordered this toaster. It works perfectly with lovely nicely browned toast that pops up when its ready, its has nice wide slots that will take crumpets etc. Frozen bread setting and toast reheat and to top it all looks very smart, whats not to like.

Well made quality design which also has a matching four slice toaster in the Breville Lustra Collection.The 1.7 litre capacity is marked off as 8 cups which I now know is about 5 of pur usual mugs.It has a fully temoveable lid rather than a hinged lid for easy filling and the chrome handle does not get too hot to the touch when boiled.Being a 3 kW element is is fast boil. The 360 degree rotational base allows any position in use.

This is a really nice kettle, the colour is really nice. The design of it is brilliant, far better than any I have had before. The lid comes off, the spout is open and bigger than other ones, I really like it. It lights up when it is boiling, the switch is small but easy to use. The plug has a good length and can be coiled underneath. This is by far one of the best kettles I have ever had. Would definitely recommend it.

Stylish design, looks good. Bit heavier than most kettles though, so you switch on thinking there's plenty of water in it when actually there isn't. There is a panel on the side where you can see how much water is in it but when you have become used to judging instinctively how much water is in it just by picking it up you don't naturally turn the kettle round to examine the water lebel in the side panel.

Bought this kettle after my last one started to leak after just over two years of use, and more annoyingly just out of warranty. Couldn’t get another kettle the same as my old one, so got this one which is very stylish and almost colour matches the other appliances which were part of a set. Very nice kettle, hope it lasts longer than the old one - especially as it’s not that cheap!!!

Bought to replace a Tefal toaster that went pop. Big slots are great for larger items like bagels. I love the way you can raise the toast to see if it's done enough whilst it's toasting. Only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars overall is the 'new' smell that you get with a new toaster for the first couple of operations is still there six months later.

The kettle boils water fast, however it's not the quietest one. Very impressed with the way it opens, the lid comes of and you can clean inside with ease! Power cable can be extended up to 27.5 inch // 70cm which I think is very useful. It lights up when on, very eye catching style and I love the colour. You can get matching products from Argos, too.

I rather did things back to front, I chose the kettle on colour and didn't read the reviews until I had actually ordered it. I then wrestled with the idea of cancelling the order due to the terrible taste it left for other people. So glad I didn't cancel, it looks great, does what it is supposed to do and it makes a fab cup of tea.

So pleased with this kettle, every time I use it I appreciate its great design and it still looks brand new though it's been in frequent use for the past 2 weeks (no water marks). The pull off lid means that the lid-hinge won't break like my last kettle, this one feels like it's built to last.

Love the look of at his kettle, now I’ve found it I’m wishing they did a 2 slice toaster to match. It does everything an electric kettle should do and I prefer stainless steel to boilwater in rather than plastic. The colour is great in our kitchen but I think it would blend in anywhere.

This is the second time I’ve bought this particular kettle. I had the original one for ages and the London limescale eventually took its toll. It’s very sleek (colour and shape) boils quickly and isn’t noisy. Perfect on my grey worktop. Highly recommended. Not expensive but looks it.
