Non-intuitive bad design. Manual doesn’t instruct how to disable keep warm function at all. Would not recommend this brand. Waiting to hear back from the manufacturer. Also can’t turn off beep.
EDIT: Advise from support: Turn off the kettle! Wondering if this company is getting some kind of reward from energy companies to waste as much electricity as possible! Time to buy another manufacturer’s kettle for sure. The Australian Bellini rep says we need to take this up with Target. Manufacturers completely refuse to support their own product. Wow.

Had this kettle for 6 months. It's noisy, buttons get stuck, constantly have to switch on and off at wall to get it to boil. Never again. Do NOT recommend.

It boils water great but the three unnecessary ear piercing beeps when it’s finished is ridiculous. Great if you’d like to give up your early morning cuppa or the late night Milos. Its going in the bin

Do not waste your money!! This kettle is the most irritating appliance to ever enter my household. It SCREAMS blue murder in the form of obnoxiously loud beeps that could wake your neighbours once the water has boiled. Absolutely unnecessary. The water boils super loudly too.. I was so shocked after buying this jug to replace my old very quiet sunbeam jug. Not only does it also beep super loud after its boiled, it also beeps loudly when you press the buttons. It also HUMS with a noisy frequency when it's on standby, so you have to turn it off at the power point for it to be quiet. Used this thing for one day and it stopped working, wouldn't turn on! Thank god for that, so I had a good excuse to return it! Junk.

Water started leaking out of the level indicator chamber and onto the electrical pad after about a year and we had to throw it. On/Off push button is fiddly and temperamental. Also very noisy loud beeping on boil which is unnecessary. We never used the fancy temperature controls - all I want is a reliable jug that boils water... and this was not it.

Considering the age of this kettle I would of expected it to last longer, the buttons get stuck sometimes which rendered it useless until they pop out again the text around each button wore off within the first month and it sometimes leaks must be when it’s in a mood. But don’t waste your money just spend a little more to get a quality kettle.

It's just a kettle - it shouldnt need a 17 step instruction manual to opperate. I shouldnt have to explain to guests how to use it. It's noisy (sounds like you are sending morse code everytime you use it). It's slow. It leaks. Dont waste your time or money on it...

I bought my kettle a couple of years ago but had it, still boxed, stored as I did not need it at the time. Pulled it out last Xmas Eve and have been using it for all of 2 weeks. Today I won't work. The lights are on but there is no one home. It shows the temperature (27) but will not turn on or boil at all. Surely storing it, still in its box in a dry cupboard, should not cause it to die. Naturally even if I did find the docket it would be out of warranty now. I think I will stick to an el cheapo Kambrook from now on!

This is a terrible kettle, you have to press down the on button for ages just to turn kettle on, then press again for the kettle to start. It is very noisy and very slow. Not worth the money at all, very disappointed. Would not recommend this product to anyone.

I brought this kettle with the matching toaster (that works BRILLANT might i add).
How ever, i have now replaced the Kettle twice, for the same reasons.
Leaking from the bottom, as you pour boiling water, & also leaking all over the base !
Highly dangerous.
Bellini Australia, can never be contacted, have tried numerously with no success.
Emailed, with no reply !

will go back to sunbeam products.

Why can't I just push the button and get boiling water? NO I have to push a button down a long time till there is a click then push again to light up the dial. NO ONE who comes to my kitchen can work the kettle. I don't care what the exact temperature is, I just want to simply no fuss no frills ability to biol a kettle of water. Is that too much to ask for?

Condensate leaks into the handle, then you end up have water dripping out all over the place ,it should have been sold with a drip tray that could be attached to the unit!
Not happy and wouldn't purchase another Bellini product for the fears that I might get another Lemon

I knew this kettle was loud because it was hurting my ears.... One day I was walking home and my wife boiled the kettle - I heard it beep from 3 houses away..........I've given this kettle away to charity now......too much pain to go through. The need to unplug the kettle every time you use it or it won't turn on is also extremely annoying. Had enough of this thing now.

Had a diff model Bellini, but wanted this one so bought it on special in March 2014. The other one broke after about 15 months, so got this one out sunday 2/11/14. It's noisy, bips every time you do something. After it has cooled it is very hard to restart. Even to the point of changing power points.
It will be returned to target for a refund.

We bought it on Thursday, only because we couldn.t find the similar Kambrook on special anywhere, Friday we had to start pulling the cord from the wall every time we refilled it to reset the kettle, Saturday night it started blowing fuses everytime we turned it on and was already corroding on the inside bottom. This is seriously the worst kettle ever and should not be allowed to be sold, although coming from Target / Coles who'se going to do anything

Expensive, unreliable, cheaply made, fire hazard

Do not buy this kettle. Amongst the poor manufacture issues of this kettle outlined by others is poor overall design resulting in terrible reliability and premature failure. The location of the control buttons on the pad at the botton of the kettle are prone to having water spilt on them, rendering the kettle useless! There are good reasons why on/off bottons are located on the handle of the kettle away from the base in the better brand names, stick to the good old simple brand name kettles with an on/off switch. There is not much to be saved buying this piece of rubbish!

Terrible design, unreliable, prone to damage, over complicated, confuses users

I have had this kettle for about 18 months and it leaks. it started to leak about a month ago. The first leak is from the handle, when it has finished boiling the water it starts to drip from the bottom of the handle. The second leak is from the bottom of the water level indicator.
The looks
It Leaks

Bought this kettle from Target on Friday and returned it Monday. Only managed to get it to boil once and after that it wouldn't reboil. When it would turn on, it would turn itself off after 5-10 seconds and we were not using the keep warm function. In the end, it was quicker to boil water on the stove as we just couldn't get it to stay switched on.

Add to that the incessant, unnecessarily loud beeping. I knew that the kettle beeped but this is so loud and beeping three times when it has boiled (the one and only time we did get it to boil...
