General Comments

We bought a stainless steel kettle after various problems with plastic kettles. All was fine with the Breville JK85 for a few months, then I noticed drips of water under the kettle, which I couldn't trace until one morning. The kitchen floor had flooded from the water left in the kettle overnight. It's now clear to see drips of water from under the plastic viewing window where it meets the stainless steel.

Overall, I could not recommend this kettle, and I am now on the search for a new one - again.
