Disappointed in my Delonghi Kettle
Distinta KBI 2001.BK (Elegant Black)I purchased my Delonghi Kettle and matching 4 slice toaster on the 28th November 2017. The toaster seems to be going well however, I am very disappointed in the finish of the kettle. The black colour seems to scratch so very easily and the chrome at the base is peeling. Does not look presentable any longer.

Works fine- but after 2 years the finish is peeling off
Distinta KBI 2001.BK (Elegant Black)Delonghi seem to specialise in making great looking kitchen products but unfortunately the quality is lacking. We have a black Distinta kettle and toaster about 2 years old and while they still work fine, we will never buy another Delonghi product (we also have a wine fridge which, based on the way Delongi support spare parts for their products, is a $1200 throwaway item after just 5 years). The chrome finish is bubbling off and the black paint can easily be scraped off around the top edge by your finger nail. Other aspects of the operation of

Great Upgrade
Distinta KBI 2001.W (Pure White)Purchased kettle as other stopped, very happy with the look and is very quick at heating up without making to much noise as it boils the water, holds 1.7 litres and so far no problems, the old plastic kettle used to have an aftertaste but this one is fine so far, will no after further use of product.

Stylish kettle, good performance
Distinta KBI 2001.W (Pure White)I bought this kettle last week and so far am really pleased, we got in pure white and looks really nice with the matching toaster. It feels nice to hold, even when filled with max water. Ive had surgery on my wrist so had to be easy to lift and pour, which it definitely is. Only reason I havent given it 5 stars is because it could be a little faster to boil but other than that I love it

Basic model is the best!
Distinta KBI 2001.CP (Style Copper)I bought a Delonghi Distinta kettle in copper which was the super-duper fancy model with the different temperature choices for different teas! An absolute piece of rubbish! If it was on 100c it just would not finish boiling; just kept going on & on & on until the kitchen was full of steam & the blinds dripped. I took it back & exchanged it for the simple, basic model (still Distinta & still copper) but just the one switch for boil & it is perfect! Works well- quiet, quick & looks great.
Dont Buy It!
Distinta KBI 2001.BZ (Future Bronze)Listen, it look good.. but it has no functional use in the kitchen. Mine scratched at the slighted touch with anything else. Its a pretty coating, and nothing else.
I use my kettle, its not a show piece.... now it looks pretty and scratched.. wasn't worth the money. DONT BUY IT!
Recommend
Distinta KBI 2001.W (Pure White)After seeing so many kettles on the market and becoming confused I purchased this model.
I wanted a side handle so as not to burn oneself as pouring out the hot water. Can refill water through the nossel. It is very fast to boil. Easy to clean. So far it has been great and I can highly recommend it.
Never Again
Distinta KBI 2001.BZ (Future Bronze)Liked the look of this kettle and it matched my toaster, in the Bronze. But again DeLonghi have disappointed. The highest temperature won't turn off. This is the setting which boils the water but it just boils and boils. After having so much trouble with the 4-slice toaster I shall be boxing it up and returning it, as inconvenient as it is.
Hope this helps --- maybe I am just EXTREMELY unlucky with DeLonghi products.

Not the quietest
Distinta KBI 2001.BK (Elegant Black)While the kettle is generally quite good to use, easy to fill without obstruction. The biggest problem, or at least it's only problem we have is its intrusion into our peaceful environment. Extremely noisy
