Sunbeam Alinea Select Temperature Select Kettle KE2800

Purchased this attractive kettle a few days ago to match the Alinea Select toaster and have already returned it. Love the look and features such as the variable temperatures and the way the lights show the timing to boil and the rising temperature in 5 degree instalments. The Stop button is also a handy feature. However there are a few simple practicalities that make this kettle unsuitable for many users and I hope Sunbeam does a redesign as I would be happy to purchase one without the following flaws-
1. It is noisy, genuinely noisy. Why produ...

I love how fast and quiet that kettle is. It’s not like having a space rocket ready to take off in my kitchen anymore:) I must admit I was very ignorant assuming that you need a boiling water for everything. Now I’m obsessed with the right temperature. I wish temperature indication could start from 60 degrees as I could use it for my recipes with honey and general cooking. Thumbs up for design and overall quality!

As a green tea drinker, I really love the "green tea" function, now I am preparing my Matcha Green Tea at the right temperature and I don't have to wait forever for it to cool down! Yay! It also boils very fast, perfect for making quick tea between meetings. The countdown panel also helps a lot!

The digital touch screen panel is great and the matte finish added a stylish look to my kitchen! I love the little beep sound it makes when it has finished boiling, super cool detail!
I highly recommend it!!

Not only does this kettle look super stylish but it is extremely practical. As simple as the push of a button - every type of tea can be the correct temperature. Gone are the days of waiting for a peppermint tea to cool down! The kettle boils quickly and quietly and has has a very smooth pour. I have already recommended to all my friends!

I was looking for a kettle & toaster that would bring me a great cost benefit and I am super happy with my choice! The kettle has excellent quality and features above average, not to mention the impeccable details.

It has a great capacity, digital panel and allows temperature control between 80° and 100° - which helps a lot when adjusting the correct boiling time depending on the drink I choose. It's a very complete digital kettle that I'm loving to use every morning!

This kettle is quieter than some others I've had and the amazing thing is that kettle emits a sound that warns me as soon as the water is ready to be used!

I'm very happy with this purchase!

We just recently added the Alinea Select Kettle to our bench and I am glad we did. As you can imagine with working from home the kettle is getting plenty of work out and it is doing it with ease. I love having the ability to select the temperature depending on if I am having a normal tea or going herbal. This kettle also boils extremely quickly and even does a little jingle to let you know it’s ready - which is super cute, though took me a couple of boils to remember it was the kettle and not the phone though. But by far my favourite thing abou...

I’ve always liked glass kettles because I can see when the water is starting to get hot enough and I can stop it before it boils – I don’t enjoy burning my tongue while drinking tea.
This new Sunbeam kettle is so amazing that I can choose from a variety of different temperature settings, so I don’t have to be constantly checking the water.

It also has a digital countdown that shows you the progress of your boiling – This is a great future for anxious people like me!
The beeping sound is just what you need. Not too loud, not too quiet, so if you are around the kitchen you’ll know when the water is ready.
I love it!!!

Large capacity and steady pour.
Love different temperature settings to suit teas and coffee. Great design and Easy touch buttons. Very quiet when boiling water.

The lid wasn’t too easy to lift up/ put back on and cord is a little short.

Lightweight, clean pour, nicely balanced, stylish finish. The only negative is it's hard to see how much water is in the kettle as the gauge has small writing is is half hidden behind the handle.
