Not that I desperately need a new kettle, my old one is perfectly fine. Just noticed that there is some progress in kettles-making - fancy buttons and all that presets.
The next one on static ice is above $120. HN show it at $104 but on theirs website it's $129 and minus cash back and no free delivery. Sneaky.
I recently did a few cash backs. Breville was the quickest. It took less than two weeks.
This is a great kettle. I had this for two weeks now.
why spend hundred bucks on a kettle? Kmart $5 one does the job just fine
It's a status symbol. Like driving a BMW or using Eneloop-branded rechargeable batteries.
You clearly don't understand.
"or using Eneloop-branded rechargeable batteries."
lol, I hadnt thought of those as a status symbol!
But those K-mart kettles aren't smart like this one, only you are for buying it :-)
The opposite applies to this kettle. (tssssssss… someone got burnt!)
Well well, look at Mr Moneybags over here with his five dollar unitasker.
I heat my tea water up by rubbing two sticks together in a puddle.
A true ozbargainer!
I want a smart kettle that can cool water as fast as it can heat it.
$5 kettle will do it.

There are actually beer chilling championships where people have to build a machine to chill a beer as quickly as possible.
That's pretty cool!
My folks have one of these. The buttons are for different temperatures, like 75 degrees, 80, 85 etc..
I wondered what the point of it was. I decided not to ask them if they ever use those functions.
Different teas taste better when brewed at certain temps.
Exactly that. I have different types of teas and wanted to test this hypothesis about different brewing temperatures. Technically, thermometer would do better, but convenience of automatic temperature control also tempting.
I have one, that I bought for Mrs Anderson just to earn brownie points for buying her something fancy… :)
I recently got the Sunbeam KE7500S on recommendation from CHOICE due to extremely quiet and quick boil times. All the rest mattered zilch, though it's an awesome kettle. Paid $67.
i wish i could afford this smart kettle but i'm stuck with my dumb kettle :(
I'm going to hold out for the Android model, txt kettle "I'll be home in 5 minutes, BOIL"
I'm afraid of the phone freezing or bugging out. Then I'll come home to my electricity off, my house burnt down, and my water still cold.
I wanted to buy a smart kettle last month because of the diff temp settings. Was looking at this model but ended up getting this Cuisinart one for about $110

I went for the cuisinart one cuz it had great reviews online and most importantly comes with 3 years warranty!
Also 've been looking at Cuisinart. Saw it at Costco Auburn for $107 last Sat. I think they are petty much the same. I like Cuisinart's smaller footprint.
I have one. I paid $99. It's a great kettle I love adjusting the temps for my green tea :)
Makes a good gift to couples etc
Good price but beware, cash back can take a while with Breville.
