Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Stylish looking and highly mobile, this electric cordless kettle from Breville lets you serve hot beverages unfettered. The unit's disc-shaped base conceals a powerful 1500-watt element and features 360-degree swivel, so accommodation on the countertop is easy. The kettle holds 1.9 quarts, and the water level is easily visible through a translucent side window. The sleek curves and mirror finish of the stainless-steel body create an air that is both handsome and efficient. Breville looks after details, too--like the illuminated on/off switch, the safety locking hinge lid, and the tidy cord storage in the base. A safety feature cuts power automatically to prevent overheating or boiling dry, while a removable scale filter simplifies cleaning. The kettle is perfect for taking tea into the sunroom or making fresh coffee on the picnic table. --Emily Bedard

Wonderful Piece of Australian Technology,

This review is from: Breville SK85XL Nova Cordfree Kettle (Kitchen)
I am very, very picky when it comes to house wares and kitchen appliances, and before deciding to take my chances on this Breville electric kettle, I had spent probably too much time researching different brands of electric kettles online (Braun, Krups, Cuisinart, Bodum, etc.). I was inclined to getting the Braun kettle that has received so many rave reviews on Amazon, but the few complaints about it petering out, and being made of plastic, made me continue my search for a kettle. If it's going to cost almost $50, I wanted a kettle that could boil more than 6 cups of water, last longer than 3 years, and be made of stainless steel. After typing in all sorts of descriptors on search engines, I finally came across the name Breville, and checked out the manufacturer's Web site. After seeing this Nova kettle's product specifications, & contrasting it to other makes & models featured on Amazon, I took my chances with this kettle, and have been completely obsessed with it ever since (& I am fully confidet it will continue to function well even after that "just-bought-it" glow fades away). It has more than I had wanted, all in one: concealed heating element, REMOVABLE water-scale filter, a window to see the water level (not that annoying floating ball), larger 1.9L capacity, auto-shut-off, 360 degree accessible base, great looks, & VERY FAST! Plus, I noticed that the water in the kettle continues to stay heated for quite a while after it has boiled and the kettle has shut itself off. The only thing some people may find unfortunate is the rather shorter-than-expected length of the electric cord. But for all the other pluses going for this product, I think it's a negligible quality. I had never heard of Breville before, but I hope they venture out into other high-quality kitchen products, with the same caliber of quality. So, the verdict is: 5-stars, and a Perfect-10 as a kitchen accessory. And, I am guilty of spending FAR too much time shopping for house/kitchen stuff! So, I wanted to write a review to save others from wasting the same amount of time I did.

LOVE IT!,

This review is from: Breville SK85XL Nova Cordfree Kettle (Kitchen)
I am very, very pleased with this kettle and should have gotten one long ago (about 3 stove-top kettles ago!). This kettle heats up quickly and to a full, rolling boil (tea drinkers understand the importance of the boil!).
Afterwards, it shuts itself off. (Finally! A kettle I may not burn within a few months.) After pouring, the kettle is very easy to place back on top of the base -- no need to "line" anything up for it to fit. In addressing other reviewers' issue/s with this Breville tea kettle... 1. Yes, it gets hot (duh! boiling water?); but if you're worried about children touching it, I suggest it be placed toward the back of the counter. (Do we stop cooking all together because children may touch the pots or pans? As with any appliance, you need to exercise a little caution, that's all.) In fact, the tea kettle probably sits farther back (closer to an outlet) than pots/pans cooking on top of the stove. 2. I do not find the cord any bulkier or more cumbersome than other appliances. In fact, it takes up less cord space because the excess is tucked under the base. 3. Is this kettle noisy? No more than a coffee maker or a pot on the stove. It is the same sound as water heating up in just about anything. I turn the kettle on and go in the very next room. I do not hear it at all. I do sometimes hear the "click" from the unit switching off when the water is ready. Good thing for the click because, without a whistle, I often forget I put water up! 4. As for the price... Electric kettles are a bit pricey to my surprise. The Breville (at $50) is, in my opinion, very reasonable. After all, the Oxo Uplift (stove-top) kettle costs the same, has no heating element, no filter, and is a piece of _ _ _ _. (Yes, entered into the graveyard of burnt kettles 6 days ago, good riddance!) I hope this helps anyone considering the purchase of this kettle. I highly recommend it!

Nice kettle,
By October321 (Victorville, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Breville SK85XL Nova Cordfree Kettle (Kitchen)
We just received our new Breville Nova Cordfree Kettle. We filled it up with cold water and it took 5 minutes to boil. Here are some pros and cons to the kettle:
Cons: 1) Like one reviewer said it does get very hot, however it won't burn you unless you leave your hand on it. 2) I don't like the bulky plug that sticks out. We leave ours sitting on the counter, plugged in. The stiff cord connected to it gets in the way of the kettle. Pros: 1) It stays hot for a long time. We boiled our water over 2 1/2 hours ago and the water is still warm. 2) The Base swivles for easy access from any angle. 3) The lid locks in place to alleviate accidental spills. 4) The strainer also locks in place so it doesn't fall out easy like the one in our Krups kettle did. 5)It automatically shuts itself off so your water doesn't burn out and ruin your kettle. 6)It pours nicely. You don't have to push any buttens to release the water when you pour it. 7) Part of the cord tucks neatly under the base so you only have to have out what is needed. 8) The base cannot easily slide on the counter. So it stays in place. 9) It looks great sitting on your counter! Overall I feel like we have a great kettle.
