A kettle is a staple in most homes, used daily for brewing tea or boiling water for cooking. If you’re tired of an unattractive, bulky kettle, the Breville Bold Vanilla Cream Electric Kettle might be just what you need.
This “fast boil” appliance has been creating quite a buzz among shoppers who describe it as “cute and classy”. Usually priced at £33.99, Amazon has temporarily reduced the cost to £24.99, offering a saving of 26 per cent.
Compared to other stylish kettles on the market, this is a budget-friendly option. The Breville kettle is available in cream, black or white and features a chic ribbed design that sets it apart.

A matching toaster is also available for those interested, reports Nottinghamshire Live. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the kettle is highly rated for its performance, reportedly boiling water “in under a minute”. It includes a removable limescale filter that’s ‘easy to clean’, and with a capacity of 1.7 litres, it can prepare up to eight hot drinks at once.
Customers who’ve previously suffered burns while using kettles are finding relief with this model that boasts an extra wide spout, ensuring hot water pours easily and safely.
Its “lightweight” design, even when full, makes handling a cinch easier. The top-fill opening is another feature winning over users, especially those who’ve battled with filling their kettle at the tap.
One satisfied customer expressed their appreciation in a review: “I love this kettle. It looks lovely and is effective, boiling water faster than other brands I’ve used. I like the pull-off lid which, could be totally taken away, making it easier to fill under the tap.
The kettle is made of plastic but is doesn’t look cheap at all. On the contrary, this, unlike metal kettle, prevents your hands from accidentally getting burnt as you touch the lid or the kettle body.”
Echoing these sentiments, another user remarked: “This is a really attractive kettle. I was determined my next kettle would have a completely lift-off lid, not a hinged one; my previous kettle’s hinged lid stopped working, and trying to open it was a nightmare.
“Never again. This kettle was the answer to a prayer – no more chance of scalding myself just trying to open the damn thing. The kettle has a look of ceramic about it, which is very attractive.”
A shopper was delighted with their new purchase, saying: “Great purchase, I’m so happy with it. It’s very light weight and the quality is great. It has a 360-degree swivel base that I really like, and it boils pretty quickly. It’s also relatively quiet and the detachable filter is great as I live in a hard water area so limescale always happens.”
Despite many customers praising its “lovely cream colour” and stating it “looks so stylish and has prompted several compliments from friends,” a few gripes about the power cord have been voiced. Some lamented that opting for a white cord would have been more aesthetically pleasing, especially against the appliance’s creamy hue.
One customer expressed disappointment, commenting: “The only negative is that it comes with a black cord. All other Breville kettles I’ve had in the past have had a white cord which aesthetically looks so much better with a white kettle. Slightly annoying as I have a white kitchen, and all white appliances with white cords except this one!”
Besides colour discrepancies, it was also highlighted by another customer that the length of the cable could be an issue: “Jug kettle works well but has the shortest cable-to-electric socket I have ever seen and is somewhat inconvenient, It was not easy to find a suitable place to plug it in.”
For those seeking a kettle with a sufficient cord length, the Morphy Richards Hive Kettle has received accolades. Currently, it’s on offer at Amazon for £25.99.
Keep in mind, this model has a slightly smaller capacity of 1.7 litres, compared to the £24.99 Breville kettle.
Elsewhere, the Ninja White Perfect Temperature Kettle is currently selling for £79.99. This kettle offers six pre-set temperatures, ideal for specialty teas.
