Leaked water from the chrome ring join on kettle near the base, requiring me to soak up water after each use, was flooding the chrome power base after 1yr +10 months.(Dangerous) This had a max retail price of $129, and was on special @$55 from harvey norman . I thought i got a bargain but truthfully a $20 Target or Kmart kettle would have lasted the same. I have the receipt from harvey norman midland WA.

We've had this kettle for more than 6 months now. Before first use I filled the kettle, boiled and discarded the water. Every time I've used the kettle (at least twice every day) the drinks have a distinct, very unpleasant chemical flavour. I've boiled water in a pot and made drinks that way to compare and those drinks taste just fine. Also, we bought a matching toaster which we had to return because the push-down mechanism broke within 2 months. Really disappointed as these products are not cheap products.

Next time I probably wouldn't spend $100 on this model again, the aesthetics are nice and the blue suits my house decor, but the kettle is on the noisier side and scratches really easily, I'm not sure what from though as being that it gets hot you don't generally place anything near it!

Had for a couple of weeks very stylish well made love the color matte finish easy to keep clean first couple of times using it was very quiet.I thought yes I finally found a quiet kettle but alas its noisy now.It also has a 3 way safety system which I thought was a great feature and the water window lights up when you boil the kettle.

UPDATE: Unfortunately had to return the kettle 13/8/16 due to loud crackling sound when boiling contacted Sunbeam who were helpful and told me to return it to store of purchase Myer were excellent full refund and I purchased a Sunbeam Maestro kettle which is a lot quieter fingers crossed no more problems.
