My 3rd Breville electric kettle. and because I had been so happy with the previous ones, did not bother to read any reviews. Would agree, it is really annoying not being able to see the water level (i.e. no light) on this model.
This purchase was made to replace the same product that I bought 2 years ago. The old pot kept disconnecting and switching itself off before the water had boiled. Trying again since I really like the product, but if I have the same issue, I may need to kind another brand, since I would expect a kettle to last longer than 2 years...
It says to be made of stainless steel but this is my second Breville Soft Top Kettle and after having it for only a few months, it’s already rusting. I had to replace the previous one because of this issue and now this one is rusting in the same exact spot. I will not be buying another one considering a significant price tag. Loved it otherwise, shame it’s not up to the usual Breville quality.
