Purchased 5 months ago and barely used until last few weeks. The paint on the handle above the spout has already bubbled from the steam and chipped off so this has been going into the kettle and I have been drinking this!! Noticed the kettle doesn’t turn off sometimes and continues to boil until manually turned off. Can’t return to Myer as I did not keep the receipt. This kettle is flawed by design and is both a health risk and safety risk - why hasn’t it been recalled?

I purchased this kettle also because of its great appearance. However the bronze colour melted off above the spout and the spout was filled with it. As I have been unwell I rang Sunbeam Sydney 3 times for details of the material as I have been unwell. Eventually they emailed me details of components of brass colour. On the phone I was also told this kettle had been taken off sale now for safety. Looking here i see it is still for sale. Maybe it has not caused my health problem as I cannot find in the components list any health problem but I hope they do take it off and issue a warning just in case. Also because the coating melts off. I am able to get a refund.

3 months use & this kettle is losing its finish on the handle in several places where the steam hits. Customer service not interested - will only replace. Don’t want another one!

We have boiled water a dozen times and the kettle still smells of plastic. The water gauge on the outside is a little tacky once the water has been boiled also. Not sure if this is dangerous
