The spring loaded lid fails to close. This means the kettle cant be used since steam will fill the kitchen and failed to turn off automatically. The lid is designed to fail.

This kettle was great whilst it lasted, however after 14 months the lid broke, I contacted the customer service team, who offered a full refund as, this kettle unlike many more expensive models has a 3 year warranty. The water level is easy to see, water tastes great, efficient boil. I will buy another when they get them back in, I’m now trying to research other glass kettles, but looking at the reviews it seems they all have some problems, many with the lids

You can actually see the water boiling and there is a blue light that I find amusing to see. The shape and size are great. Just alright in storing it in small spaces. The length of the socket wire is fantastic. It is manageable when keeping it after each use.

Loved the look and price of this kettle. Worked well but abruptly stopped working after only a few months. Contacted Aldi about replacement but it took over a week to hear back from them and my husband got frustrated in the meantime and went out and bought a new one. Shame about the short life of this product. Has made me think twice about buying electrical goods from Aldi again.

Have not had it a full year and it has a burn Mark at the bottom inside the kettle very ugly and getting darker eventually it's going too burn through. It's obvious will be dangerous. Not happy brought from Aldi very nice in the beginning but didn't take long for the ugly big burn Mark too form. Can't even say it's ok to consume the water that's boiled.

......it only worked for two months before the lid became unusable. My husband likes to drink green tea which he likes at 75 degrees, whereas I prefer strong hot tea made with boiling water. A jug for only $59.99 with temperature controls was a bargain, I thought. This jug looked great and worked perfectly, but then for no apparent reason the lid malfunctioned and as the spout is relatively small, it made it extremely difficult to put water in. We were sorely disappointed to have to return this item and get a refund.

I am a widower. I saw the kettle on special. It is perfect for me. A lady friend had a similar kettle but different brand. She only uses the best quality. She was very impressed with mine and will purchase one when aldi restock as a sale item. Dave c

I really wanted to like this kettle. Attractively priced, and yes, the electronics is excessively detailed, but when you boil water blue LEDs and water create visually pleasing effect. Unfortunately the quality is very poor. The first one made intermittent base-kettle contact, sometimes worked, sometimes not; frustrating when you just want to make a coffee in the morning. The second one had the lid raising mechanical button broken straight from the box (thus: no quality control in factory). Returned for refund, and will different brand. NOT RECOMMENDED.

The main function of a kettle is to boil water. Is it really important to set the exact temperature between 20 and 90 degrees C, and have a 'keep warm' function? For example, If you make black tea you need water at 100 degrees C. If it so happens that you bring the water to boil but for some reason fail to pour the water over the tea for a few moments, you cannot bring the kettle back to boiling until it has cooled.It seems to default to a 'keep warm ' position and will not re-heat until the temperature drops to around 90. Why make it so complicated with all this digital stuff?

these kettles are crap you have to keep twisting the rotten jug around to get it to start boiling You press the start button and nothing happens......Better off with a $20 one from Coles or Woolworths $69 for this is outrageous crap

Model JK-108E Brought this kettle as it had a 3yr warranty with it but it only worked for 3mths and it stopped working.I will NEVER buy anymore electrical products from Aldi again.The whole process with Tempo the warranty agent is a Joke,they paid for postage but i had to pay for the packaging.For $60.00 I expected it to last a lot longer than 3 months!!!
