Sunbeam Quantum KE6310

The kettle works well but should have a level viewer on both sides for those of us who are not right handed, behind the handle as on some other brands won't cut it as they are even harder to see.
My biggest gripe is with the dumb designer who thought it was a good idea to put plain steel springs in the lid of an electric kettle. They quite rapidly rust out and fail to hold the lid up. I replaced mine with stainless ones that do the job as it should have been done in the first place.

Bought a Kettle in a haste,need to carry a spare.
Satisfied with the operation over the last month, too early to evaluate reliability, so sticking with the facts. Has to be the noisiest kettle we have ever owned,when you need to turn it off if on the phone or turn the radio up whilst it's heating up.
Would not buy again just for that reason alone.

This was an emergency purchase and if we had a choice we wouldn't have purchased an item from a company that manufactures in China, especially with the trade tensions right now. It is so sad that so many Australian companies have turned their backs on Australian manufacturing out of greed.
That said, it is a kettle. It is fairly solid and a little on the heavy side. The lid doesn't open far enough for easy filling with a mixer style tap and it has no safe spot to shut the plastic lid which can get hot.

We bought our previous Sunbeam Quantum over 5 years ago and use it more than 10 time every day (maybe even 20) and were very happy with it. The spring in the lid finally gave out. The problem is almost all the changes made are not an improvement. The handle does not feel as nice to hold. The switch is in the now popular at the bottom spot (mind you they could have stopped the fact the switch sometimes got steam on it another way I am sure) and this makes the light harder to see. The neck is smaller and it does not poor as well as the old one. N...

Great kettle, love the viewing window to take guess work out of water level!
Heats quickly and much quieter than our previous kettle.
Easy to clean - totally reccommend if you want a great kettle at a brilliant price!
