The body's hand brushed stainless steel has been triple-pressed for refined finish and added durability. The handle is made from Thermoplastic Elastomer, which combines strength and soft-touch consistency while handling. The 1500-Watt heating element is impact bounded to a flat stainless steel cover to shield it from the water and maximize head transfer. Boiling a 17 fluid ounce of water takes less then a minute. The flat base ensures fast and easy cleaning inside the kettle.
The transparent lid features the world's fist internal gear-dampening system. This controls the lid's opening action and safely staggers the release of steam. The domed shape channels condensation back in the jug and opens wide for easy access. - Dimensions: 7-1/2-in. X 9-8/9-in. X 11-1/9-in. - Volts/Watts: 1500-Watt - Cleaning & Care: Wipe Clean with Damp Cloth
I bought this kettle because I was looking to upgrade my old electric with a plastic body. So far, I have been very pleased...even when filled to the brim the Breville boils quite quickly. I use my kettle daily and for a stainless steel model, I've found it doesn't dirty easily. I occasionally wipe the outside with vinegar and water to remove fingerprints. It would be nice if Breville made the cord retractable, but after 6 months of use, that's really the only improvement I could suggest.
