Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Breville SK85XL Nova Cordfree Kettle
Customer Review: A Big Disappointment
Summary: 3 Stars
After looking around for the best looking electric kettle that boils water quickly as well as holds at least 2 liters of water (1.9) in the case of this kettle, I finally decided to get the Breville Nova cordfree. There are many positive reviews that I agree with their praise of the kettle's performance, however, I have not read a review that brings to the fact, that once the water boils, the outside surface of the kettle is DANGEROUSLY HOT. The fact that the pot is stainless steel with no insulation barrier is cause for concern, especially if you have small kids that run the chance of burning themselves badly if they happen to touch it. I would now consider a platic based kettle over a stainless steel one. I boiled the first pot and that was it. I dried it up, packed it, and sent it right back to Amazon.
I rate this kettle 5-Stars for looks and functionality and 2-Stars for safety for an overall 3-Star rating.
Description of Breville SK85XL Nova Cordfree Kettle
Breville SK85XL Nova Cordfree Kettle - Coffee and tea are staple beverages in nearly every home; making kettles a required device of every kitchen. Unfortunately, boiling water on the stove isn't exactly a speedy process. And that's where the Nova Kettle from Breville comes in. Using the latest technology, this kettle can boil water super fast - using a 1,500 watt heating element in the base! Power On Light Safety Auto Cut-Off Cord StorageStylish looking and highly mobile, this electric cordless kettle from Breville lets you serve hot beverages unfettered. The unit's disc-shaped base conceals a powerful 1500-watt element and features 360-degree swivel, so accommodation on the countertop is easy. The kettle holds 1.9 quarts, and the water level is easily visible through a translucent side window. The sleek curves and mirror finish of the stainless-steel body create an air that is both handsome and efficient. Breville looks after details, too--like the illuminated on/off switch, the safety locking hinge lid, and the tidy cord storage in the base. A safety feature cuts power automatically to prevent overheating or boiling dry, while a removable scale filter simplifies cleaning. The kettle is perfect for taking tea into the sunroom or making fresh coffee on the picnic table. --Emily Bedard
