Title: Review of Breville SK500XL electric kettle
Product review: Great looking electric kettle, all steel construction.No plastic in contact with the water.Lights up the water with a blue light while in use, and rings a bell when the boil is completed.I purchased this kettle a little less than 3 years ago.However, in my opinion, this kettle has one big design defect.The ON switch does not automatically switch to OFF when the kettle is off the base causing arcing on the contacts when inserting into the base.The kettle now no longer turns on reliably when plugged into the base, after less than 3 years of normal use.This is the kettle with the shortest service life of all the kettles that I have owned.If Breville improve the design, and add the auto-off feature when the kettle is off the base, it would be a great buy.
