Sunbeam Morning Frost Glass Kettle KE6200

A Kettle must do three things
Fill
Boil
Pour
The Sunbeam Morning Frost Glass Kettle KE6200 does the first two of these adequately. The third it fails miserably at. How is it possible that someone designs a kettle, goes to all the trouble of manufacture, packaging, advertising and distribution without twigging to the fact that the think can't pour without splashing boiling water all over the counter?

Ergonomically good with tapered top, button to open lid good location. Handle get extremely hot at the bottom, you cannot touch it. It does not pour evenly unless it has full flow, uneven, dribbles, terrible, The unit boils excessively, you can see its boiling but it continues to keep boiling for an excessive amount of time. The blue light is in the bottom and projects into your face, not just illuminating the vessel. Kettle feels solid, but very disappointed, hands down the worst kettle we have ever owned.

This is a great looking minimalist design kettle however the design of the spout is an issue as it spills water as you pour it into a cup. It's a shame that so much effort has gone into the look of this kettle which shows however the detailed functional design issues have not been resolved. The term " FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION" needs stricter adherence Sunbeam. On closer examination since writing this review the actual leak is below the spout where the spout assembly attaches to the glass body. This would suggest that the seal between the two has failed which explains the dripping of water beyond the cup and onto my kitchen bench top.

Took less than a year for a leak to form around the spout so when you pour it leaks boiling water everywhere. For a kettle that's the worst problem a kettle can have in design. Shameful, Sunbeam. $80 for leaks.

I bought this kettle less than 6 months ago. Unfortunately i did no research before purchasing, if i had i would not have bought it. The reviews all say it leaks. My kettle now leaks around the seam between the glass and the plastic too. I really want a kettle with no plastic in it. Stainless steel and or glass is my preference. No sneaky plastic window thanks. I am so angry about poor product design, i sincerely expect to get more than 10 years of use out of a product, not this inbuilt obsolescence where products are designed to fail within 2 years.

It is not hard to be critical of this product. I will list the most critical that have appeared in my KE6200.
1. Always been a very poor pourer even before lid latch broke. Plastic bits.
2. Cannot open lid any longer due to the above.
3. Does not switch off automatically anymore due to a combination of the above.
4. Getting slower to boil since the purchase on the 20/06/2020, the above faults have been slowly evolving.
We have owned only sunbeam products for 50 years, kettles, irons,mixers etc , we have never needed to complain about any of t

We’ve had the kettle for about 14 months. It’s now leaking water from somewhere when we pour. Of course it’s just outside the warranty period. Reading other reviews it looks like Sunbeam build them only to last the 12 months. Will absolutely not be buying a Sunbeam kettle again.

The kettle is nice to look at but within a year of use the lid release no longer works meaning the lid won't open. You have to open it with your finger nails. Also the plastic ring around the top has cracked in 3 places inside the kettle. Over all not impressed at all and will steer clear of sunbeam products in future. Was too expensive and not worth the money

The kettle looks good, and boils quickly, without much noise. Water level very easy to see. The spout is distinctly poor, being shaped in a way that makes pouring difficult, especially in combination with a handle which does not allow a comfortable wrist position. Not the best if your wrists are getting a bit feeble.

Beautiful kettle ever had.. nice awesome to see the water bubbling boiling point dancing from outside & nice sea blue colour..Nice to watch from outside...Easy to use by on the lever outside..
