We have used the Soft Top Pure for 6 years or so, twice daily for the first 3. When we got the Breville variable temperature kettle, this was one retired to the bin we bring to the cabin for a couple years. This last year, I have been using it in my attic office to avoid the three storey descent to the kitchen. Still going strong.
We just replaced our first Soft Top kettle with this new updated model. And so far it seems to be built just as well and we're expecting to get many years of great service from this one too. The one change in this new design though that I'm not so happy about is the change in the water level indicator. The old one had a level indicator behind the handle, that would be illuminated when you turned on the power switch. For me, the behind the handle location as well as the light made it very easy to see how much water was in the kettle. With this new kettle, the water level reading is done by the clearish dual water windows on either side, which rely on positioning the kettle where there's light behind it, and since we put ours toward the back of our counter, under some cabinets, there's not a lot of light to be able to read the water level.
