When I went on holiday in a caravan for two weeks I used this make and model kettle, and I was very impressed and knew when my Ninja kettle gave up, I would purchase this one.
I only had my Ninja a couple of years and it was rubbish compared to this Breville kettle.
I really like the simplicity and the amount, the kettle holds. This kettle a lot of water which you can see on the side. These are represented by smaller cups. So if using a mug, obviously allow more.
The design I was attracted to, the shaped diamonds, looks very smart. The kettle does swivel and corded to the decent length lead. To fill, the jug can be lifted off the base.
I did look at the filter but not rinsed as yet
If I had to nit pick, the only thing I found when the kettle boils, there is a slight vibration, so the kettle may wobble a slight amount on the work top. Be sure to remove the plug lead from the bottle of the base, less vibration.
Compared to my Ninja kettle, this one is so, so much quieter when turning on, and boiling, then cutting off. Holds hot water a good length of time when boiling.
The on/off click button is very good and works well, feels better than a lot of other brands I have used in the past.
This kettle comes with a leaflet, but no warranty to sign up to in mine. So assuming Amazon will sort if any issues, comes with a year warranty.
The Breville Curve electric kettle 1.7 litre 3KW fast boil and it does boil fast. At review £34 with 15% off In white and plastic material. Make 6-8 cups, not 6-8 mugs. The side is lit up in the rear water window Extremely good for pouring with no leaking. 360 degree base, the lid I remove, not click kind Dry boil protection.
Dimensions 9.1L x 6.4W x 10.4H Wattage 3000W Hand wash only the outside, and soft cloth to dry.
In the sellers description is a document to download for extra information.
As instructed before using boil the kettle twice, and empty both times to remove any residue. Nether of us had any after taste afterwards and the tea and coffee is lovely and hot and tastes lovely.
Really happy with the kettle, and an excellent price.
⭐️Thank you to the seller
⭐️I hope my review helps you.

We have over the years had several Breville products and they have never disappointed. Good, solid, well-made, quality products, sums up the Breville product line. This 4-slice toaster works as expected. It is a light-weight, functional product that looks good on the kitchen shelf. There are however some shortcomings that one needs to be aware of. The power cable is quite short, therefore the power point needs to be close to the toaster. At the same setting single slices toast significantly browner than two slices. The left-hand slots will switch ON only if the right-hand slots are ON, therefore, if for some reason the right-hand slots fail, then the left-hand slots become useless. The browning control controls both left and right slots. It is graded from 1 to 9. 2.5 = light toast. 3 = normal toast. 4 = very brown toast. Question…..what kind of toast do you get at setting 9….???…. 🙂 Recommend – Yes, subject to the above comments. It is a good, well-made toaster. Buy again – In our case no. We would prefer the slots to work independently with separate browning controls.

I bought this toaster (and the matching kettle) in October 2022 and when it arrived, I was pleased with its appearance. It was quite stylish, and looked good alongside the matching kettle. I mainly bought it due to the Breville name, and assumed it would be well put together, and consequently last. I was going to leave a review back in October, but something told me to wait for a while. My reasons being that the toaster appeared very light in weight compared to my last one, and although it looked good, I wasn’t convinced about the quality. Sine purchasing the toaster, it has worked well enough although the “use the right hand side first” that many people mention in their reviews, did seem strange. I was also wary about pulling the levers down, to load the bread for toasting. Because the item is a bit on the light side, the whole toaster will lean forward towards your hands if you’re not careful. It just didn’t look or feel like it would last too long. Sure enough, today 16 April 2023) when I lowered the bread for toasting, the mechanism wouldn’t stay in the down position, and very little heat could be felt as well. Basically it’s just given up the ghost and is now headed for the tip. My decision to wait before leaving a review was well justified. I do wonder how many people have left a good review soon after receiving their toaster, but then like me, found the item was cheaply made and never gong to last very long. Six months light use before breaking doesn’t impress me. And I am aware of an identical toaster that has also broken in just a few months too. In short, I have now had to buy another toaster, but from a different company. Very disappointed that this toaster hasn’t even lasted a full 6 months, and they’re not cheap . The replacement toaster I bought today from an established High Street retail company looks and feels much more sturdy, and has a two year guarantee! A lesson learned! There is no way I can recommend this toaster. Very poor quality indeed, and best avoided.

It’s made of plastic and the only metal part is the element. The rest of it is made from plastic or chromed plastic.
Quality is good but it’s not stainless steel like the description says
