Kambrook 1.5 BPA Free Glass KKE760CLR

We love how light the kettle is so when the lid broke on the first one we just replaced the kettle with like. Now the lid has broken again after only 6months use. It has plastic hinges and is not abused as we thought we were too rough maybe on the first kettle. It appears to be a design fault.

It's a nice kettle but for the $$$ I was disappointed with a 6 month shelf life before it started to malfunction. The lid broke off, parts of the handle started to heat up on occasion, and there was always a few drops of water on the base when I lifted the kettle - and I am sure they were not drops I made. I expected a much stronger product from Kambrook.

The lid came off (broke out of its hinge) without applying any force. It's a plastic hinge and doesn't seem to be able to get repaired. More than $100 for something that broke well too fast. I dont' spending a bit more money but would expect quality. I'll try a Breville next (another $40 dearer I guess...)

Love this kettle, has 6 cup measurements on outside so you can measure how much you want to boil. Switches off automatically. So easy to clean as the element is underneath. Has an easy flip top lid. Boils water well and quickly. Has a good shape solid handle not hot to touch.

So I boil a full jug of water. It takes way too long. Then after 15 minutes to boil again, I have to wait ages for boiling water. Lamb rook is probably the worst jugs to boil water. Takes too long for hot water. Plus the nosil has a bad design.

It provides a lower minimum water level of 300ml vs most others at 3400ml, this means you can potentially save a lot of power/money if you like small cups of tea.

The glass is very clear so it's easy to see the scale that you might otherwise ignore. I've had 2 of these and both times the spring in the lid has given up the ghost so that you have to help it open up to fill from tap.

This one is slowly leaking water from the bottom somewhere, glass is OK so a seal is dying somewhere, not dangerous, just annoying.

I will not be buying a 3rd and probably the 3rd won't be a Kambrook.

While it works fine as a kettle, it did have some minor leaks through the life which we tolerated.

However, just over a year after purchasing (and outside of the warranty period), the lid snapped and is now unusable. Would not recommend dropping the $79 it cost us, buyer beware.

Looks nice, seems to work ok, but like many other reviewers observed - it soon starts to leak. Kambrook, how can you still sell this, a kettle that is prone to leaking?

This is the worst kettle l have ever owned... It Worked good for a while, then it started leaking out of the base...l have to turn kettle off & clean up excess water so l don’t get electrocuted...
Inside the handle part attached to the kettle has rusted all the way done.
Was so Disappointed with this kettle considering the price.

Previously reviewed when I bought and really liked, only negative I came up with was that it boiled for a while before switching off so gave a great review.
Now having owned maybe a year or so, Another I’ve noticed a small gap appearing in seam along the handle and every now and then steam comes through the gap and burns my fingers when I’m pouring. I’m careful now but still catches me out from time to time.
PS When I say “burn”, I haven’t actually burnt myself where my skin needs cold water and takes a while to heal, more that it is hot enough to sting badly and cause concern.
