Breville the Soft Top Pure BKE700

Purchased this kettle a few weeks ago. It has features I liked. Especially the water indicator. It’s a little noisy but so are most kettles so That’s not my issue. I am hating the ting. It’s supposed to go off when kettle is boiled. I hear mine every time I put the kettle down or move it. It’s driving me crazy. It’s an expensive kettle for something I want to throw.

This kettle roars. It is so loud that you cannot have a phone conversation or hear the radio while it is heating.
The glass top is cracked too.
I am looking for a replacement right now.
This is my third noisy kettle .
If the replacement becomes noisy I will bypass the retailer and demand a refund from the manufacturer. As if it is really noisy it is 'not fit for the purpose'

We bought this in 20-10-2014 and have been happy with its performance. . The clear plastic on the top cracked some time ago. It looked ugly but didn't interfere with the functioning of the kettle. However the on/off switch completely failed this morning 30-6-2020. This kettle has probably had more than 11,000 cycles in this time as we work from home. Having looked at the market, there are many things we like about this kettle. It is easy to fill, it is reasonably quick, not too noisy, it notifies you when it has boiled amongst others. I think we will buy another Breville BKE700.

I found this kettle to be extremely noisy ,the loudest kettle Ive ever had. I bought it in 20 April 2017 and it stopped working today 24 February 2019 past the guarantee period . Not happy.I wouldl expect an expensive kettle to continue working for a reasonable period not less then two years.

Seems like a great little kettle, I purchased it from Bing Lee recently from the first time I tried it ive been quite happy with my purchase.

Pros:
- Water does actually taste a lot nicer compared to what my old kettle gave.
- Very easy to view the amount of water in the kettle with the twin water level windows, thankfully they aren't sealed either, so I don't need to worry about anything that might get into the kettle getting stuck in there.
- Pouring spout is adequately large enough to fill straight from a standard faucet. (I know the k

This has been a great kettle for our family. We have used it once or twice daily for about two years, so we have gotten good use out of it. But the auto shut-off has stopped working which is a real safety hazard. In the little research I've done it appears this cannot be fixed. A real bummer for an expensive item. We try to buy high quality items so they last.

We have just replaced this kettle under warranty. It was nine months old. The trouble? The clear plastic in the lid developed an alarming series of cracks. The same thing has happened to my daughter's kettle and to her mother-in-law's kettle. Also, a large, dark brown stain on the inside base of the kettle has appeared. This is our second Breville kettle and there was no trouble with the first kettle lid. Is a different type of plastic being used? We'll see with our replacement kettle.

I have owned this kettle for 11 months. For the first few months it was ok. Much quieter than my previous kettle. Gradually it started to get louder. Cracks have mysteriously appeared in the lid. I can live with both these things, but now, on occasion, it just keeps boiling and is dangerous. I plan to take it back before the warranty expires.

A real workhorse. This is the second one of these, purchased the first one around 4 and a half years ago and it was punished. The electrics still work fine but the plastic holder for the filter etc crumbled away and the lid didn't seal 100% in the end. The new one is very quiet and efficient. Would recommend it for the money.
