This is an excellent kettle for everyday use. I love it... don't know why it took me so long to buy a NICE one. I had been using cheap plastic ones that would break within a year. I think this kettle will last me a nice LONG time.

Cute & retro looking

By Meg from Iowa City, IA on 01/21/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Best Uses:	Home Use
Cons:	Not as fast as expected, Noisy
Pros:	Tight Lid, Clear Boiling Indicator, Comfortable Grip, Water level indicator

Over all, I love it. It's pretty :) and I've been wanting an electric kettle for quite awhile. I like the backlit water level and I LOVE that it dings when ready. It's a little bit loud & it takes longer than I expected, 3-4 minutes. But still faster than stove top so I'm very happy.

Describe Yourself:	Tea Aficionado

Brilliant Product

By Bull-horns from Tucson, AZ on 02/4/2008.

Pros:	Clear Boiling Indicator, Tight Lid, Comfortable Grip, Boils Quickly
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Best Uses:	Oatmeal, Tea

Best Product I've found for heating water in a hurry with little worry if you get distracted with other house chores. It replaced a Chiefs Choice water kettle that shorted out [...] Bell sounds when water is finished heating to help remind you it's done. Glass top is nice but it is always steamed up so you can't see through it to view water when heating. Unparalled quality[...].

Creme de la creme of kettles!

By Alexkaa from Brooklyn, NY on 01/31/2008.

Pros:	Comfortable Grip, Clear Boiling Indicator, Boils Quickly, Tight Lid
Best Uses:	Tea
Describe Yourself:	Tea Aficionado

If your looking for a kettle, look no further, as your search stops here. This kettle really is top of the line. Looks great and does exactly what you want it to do. Boil water quickly and quietly. For those using stove-top kettles, that have a tendency to forget about what theyre doing, Breville have you in mind as there's a convenient boil-dry and auto shut off function. It may be a little more expensive than most kettles, but you get exactly what you pay for. A quality product, that's aesthetically appealing. Good addition to any modern kitchen.

Best Electric Kettle we've owned

By English Breakfast from North Shore on 01/2/2008.

Pros:	Comfortable Grip, Clear Boiling Indicator, Boils Quickly, Tight Lid, Soft ding when ready
Best Uses:	Tea
Describe Yourself:	Tea Aficionado

Best Electric Kettle we've owned.

Extremely effective performance and feat

By Flowerguy1982 from Phoenix az on 01/1/2008.

Pros:	Boils Quickly, Comfortable Grip, Tight Lid, Clear Boiling Indicator
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Cons:	no faults
Best Uses:	Tea, Instant Coffee

We use this pot at least ten times a day and it never ceases to amaze me. At this time i do not see any downsides of the product

Great look, mixed functionality feelings

By Undina from San Francisco, CA on 01/1/2008.

Pros:	Boils Quickly, Comfortable Grip, Looks really cool, Tight Lid
Cons:	Steal surface hits a lot
Describe Yourself:	Tea Aficionado
Best Uses:	Tea, Instant Coffee

The kettle looks good and is really pleasant to handle till it boils: the whole surface gets really hot and easily burns your hands (till you get used to not touching it). It would have been much better if it had a double layer to stay cool but still have its nice appearance of a steel appliance.

Excellent product!

By davenach from Davis, CA on 12/29/2007.

Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Best Uses:	Melitta Coffee, Tea
Pros:	Tight Lid, Comfortable Grip, Clear Boiling Indicator, Boils Quickly

We use it everyday to make both tea and coffee (using a Melitta filter) and it is quick, convenient and it won't accidently be left on because it has a switch that turns it off when the water boils.

built well and heats fast

By bay boater from Weems, VA on 12/24/2007.

Pros:	convenient automatic lid, Tight Lid, Boils Quickly, Clear Boiling Indicator, Comfortable Grip
Best Uses:	Instant Noodles, Tea
Describe Yourself:	Tea Aficionado

quick heating results in tea when you want it

I love my new electric pot

By coffee sipper from san jose on 12/14/2007.

Pros:	Boils Quickly, Pours Cleanly - No drips, Comfortable Grip, Tight Lid
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Best Uses:	Oatmeal, Drip coffee, Tea

I love this kettle. I destroyed 2 on the stove-top tea kettles. I'd put on the hot water, and then get distracted. This automatically shuts off, once the water has boiled. No more worries! It's a little bigger than I need for just one cup, but it is easy to handle (I have small hands), and pours very easily without drips or spills.

Ergonomic pot

Great product!!!

By Diana from St.Island, NY on 05/2/2007.

Pros:	Boils Quickly, Tight Lid, Comfortable Grip, Clear Boiling Indicator
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Best Uses:	Tea

Great product, very capacious, beautiful futuristic design, the only cons is that the kettles body gets very hot when the water is ready and I didnt have this problem with a non stainless steel kettles.

Quiet, beautiful and functional

By Bo from Syracuse, NY on 04/10/2007.

Pros:	Comfortable Grip, Very quiet as it boils, Boils Quickly
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker, Tea Aficionado
Best Uses:	Oatmeal, Tea

This one boils as fast as our Cuisinart model that we have been happy with. But, this does the job so quietly we can keep boiling while we talk over phone, which we cannot do with Cuisinart.[...]

Great, Sleek-Looking Kettle

By Sharon The Mom to Be from San Francisco, CA on 03/22/2007.

Pros:	Clear Boiling Indicator, Great aesthetically, Comfortable Grip, Tight Lid, Boils Quickly
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Drinker
Best Uses:	Instant Coffee, Tea

Great aesthetics, especially the blue light. The boiler indicator is a 'ping' which is quite retro. Boils quickly. Like the clear lid. The best of the kettles we looked at.

Exellent Kettle!!!!!!

By demus from fl on 03/1/2007.

Pros:	Great Kettle, Comfortable Grip, Boils Quickly, Clear Boiling Indicator
Cons:	Noisy

I would recommend this product to anyone looking for the perfect Kettle.

Breville Ikon Premium Kettle

By Ed & Janet from Issaquah, WA on 01/10/2007.

Pros:	Good construction, Intuitive controls, High quality, Easy to clean
Best Uses:	Large Kitchens, Small Kitchens

My husband and I purchased this for my mother-in-law. She enjoys having a cup of tea, but tends to get busy and forget about the kettle boiling on the stove. This electric kettle has been a great solution for her. First, the Breville received excellent ratings (quality, etc.). And second, the automatic shutoff is wonderful! It gives us some peace of mind, especially since we live so far away (2000 miles!).

Easy to use, simple but classy. Love it"

By Natasha from Florida, Pensacola on 11/14/2006.

Best Uses:	Dorm Rooms, Elaborate Meals, Small Kitchens, Simple Meals, Large Kitchens
Pros:	Good construction, Intuitive controls, High quality, Easy to clean
Cons:	None

I love the fact that after adding water, all you need to do is push the button and forget about it. The chime alerts you when it is ready. You don't get burned by the steam when pouring like other kettles sometimes does.It looks really classy anywhere. My mother in-law saw it and loves it so I had to purchase one for her too. It is light weight and really easy to use. Don't know what I would do with out it.

excellent quality. heats water fast.
