Braun Electric Kettle July 9, 2008 This is a great electric kettle. We drink a lot of tea & this works perfectly for very fast, very hot water.
8 years with Braun Kettles June 14, 2008 Solid and good quality. I had the white Braun Electric Kettle for over 7 years. It was fantastic. My mother recently accidentally broke the button atop that opens up the lid. But honestly, I had been waiting for an excuse to by the new stainless steel one. I've had it for six months now and it's simply a good product. I agree that it is heavier than I expected and I didn't think through the fact that the outside of the kettle gets hot but that only makes sense...it's steel. The white one would get a little warm as well. I don't have young kids so it's not an issue.
Summary: You can't go wrong with either one of the kettles -- white, black or stainless steel (s.s.) This product will last forever! Consider the following: Try to keep the kettle away from any area where you may splatter a lot especially grease from frying. It's cleanable but why put it harms way...? The black or white can be washed down with a wet, non-abrasive sponge. The s.s. one can leave prints (like any stainless steel appliance) but can be cleaned with Windex or special agent and paper towel. If you have young kids and shallow counters, go with the white or black to be on the safe side.
HEART BROKEN..LEAKING AFTER 18 months June 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We have been long time Braun fans and choose the Braun for it's legacy of quality and function...We went to lots of lectures by Braun's former design guru Dieter Rams. So when I woke up two mornings ago to find the kitchen counter flooded with water I was incredulous that it was the Braun kettle leaking. I moved the kettle to a plate and filled it with water. Sure enough the kettle leaks. I called Braun alias Procter and Gamble (the kettle is made in China by the way and not Germany!) and they told me too bad...the kettle was 8 months out of warranty and to call my local repair shop (and pay for the repair). The repairman told me the kettle is unservicable..ie throw it out! I was more incredulous and called "customer service" back. After a long time on hold, they again told me "too bad" the kettle is out of warranty by 8 months.....and I hung up. After reading the reviews on Amazon, I learned that you are not supposed to store the kettle with water over night..it still works fine..so we'll see how long we can keep boiling water for pots of tea before it goes to the landfill. What a waste of stainless steel and plastic.
Great kettle till it died! June 1, 2008 This is a great kettle. Boils water fast ... great for my cups of tea! However,after two years and 1 month it died. Press the button on and the light sometimes comes on letting me know that it is going to boil and then it goes off and other times doesn't do anything! I have had other kettles, the last one (not the same brand) I had still works and it is 6 years old. So, be warned, it may die at an early age!
worked one year May 4, 2008 after one year of use we had to get replacement - push ON button and nothing happends !
