Ordered Thursday 30th, arrived Monday 3rd: good.No delivery/packing note. So no actual receipt: bad.I Only found Gerald when removing the website's 'manufacturer' filters. Then almost straight away it came up with what was clearly a descendant of my existing kettle - another Breville.Ketty had developed a break in a wire in his base. I've had him for about 8 years. Normally, our kettles would last only a year because of breaks in wires. This must be because they were moved to be cleaned nearly every day. But for the last 7 years, I've severely limited the number of times I move the base. Perhaps the bases should be heavier.Cables certainly should be far more flexible. As has already been implied,this a common cause of having to replace a kettle. The cable was bent a bit in about three places, so I could not get it to be straight. That would require my bending it - which I have not done.The base has only one slot for the cable (my old one had 3.)The underside of the base seems not as robust as the old one. Instead of a complete cover underneath there is a triangular piece of thin plastic.The light bulb/neon whatever is in base. Surely a weak-point, an accident waiting to happen. (My old one's light was in the switch in the handle.) This one's switch is also in the handle, which I like.The lid is OK. It pulls up on a hinge and clicks shut. It does not come off which suits me, it's safer. (My old one had a pull release catch to open the lid.)It pours not quite as well as old one, but OK. I could empty the old one quickly with very little spillage from lid area, whereas this one does allow water to escape from the closed lid's area. So one must be careful when emptying of boiling water. Further, the spout looks as if it won't pour cleanly, but it does seems to work OK.The handle is more rounded than my old one, but it feels the same to hold, and seems to function similarly.The is no minimum mark - but it seems self explanatory.The kettle is quite noisy, but I quite like that. For me this is almost a safety feature.I love the bright blue light that illuminates the inside. Although in bright daylight it can be difficult to see the water level.UPDATEAfter a few weeks Gerald died. (I suspect a break in the wire in the cable.) Amazon were very good about replacing him, if a little confusing. I now have a new one of these kettles and I've named him Gerry (in honour of Gerald). So far so good, but I'm not holding my breath - and I'm running out of names.

I bought this as a Which? recommended buy, particularly for the speed of boiling which helps both the environment and the budget. It is neat and compact, though it's capacity is as great as the much larger kettle it replaced, and it looks smart. I began to think that I would need to send it back however as, even after following the instructions to fill the kettle to capacity, boil the water and throw it away a few times, the water smelled and tasted "funny". It was a disinfectant/bleach kind of smell and the tea/coffee tasted odd. However, I persisted and after a week or maybe even a little more it had gone.Living in the area of Lancashire affected by the recent "boil water" notice,I have been pleased with the speed of boiling these last couple of weeks. I just hope that it proves more durable than my last two kettles which both developed a leak after a year or so.Two years later, the kettle is still going strong (touch wood).

I've been using a Breville kettle for years and find it brilliant unfortunately it started leaking a few weeks ago so I had to replace it. At first all I could find was black or metal kettles' which were not what I wanted because the limescale marks them but I managed to find my white Breville kettle and although it is a newer version I am very pleased with it as it is more efficient than the previous one.

Our old Breville kettle was so quiet that we had to touch the outside wall to Hi see if it had boiled.This new kettle does what it says and works fine. Except it’s like Concorde taking off when boiling.Another piece of Technology taking a step backwards.

Scored 85% by Which but some reliability issues by some users . So,far can’t fault it , easy to fill , lightweight , visible water guides on both sides . Good base location . No drips . Not noisy . So ticks all boxes for functionality.

It replaces my other Breville Kettle,the switch went, which was about 5-6 years old. I got the same one again as we liked it. The only thing against it is that it is bit noisy, but i still brought the same model again.

Very happy with this kettle. I would have liked it to have a "1 cup" measurement line on the side, but it's easy enough to estimate. It boils very quickly and the cable storage under the base is useful.

Best Kettle we have ever purchased. Boils quickly. Pouring has no issues with spillage. Light could be dimmer although you certainly won't miss that it's on! Good price.

It sings a bit but boils water quickly and can be used to boil small amount for a mug of tea.
