About this product
Boil up to 8 cups at once and add a bold, glossy look to your worktop. The Breville Obliq Kettle features geometric texture, high-shine gold accents, and a 1.7l capacity, ideal for busy mornings or guests. Its powerful 3000W concealed element boils water fast, while the illuminated water window shows exact fill levels. The 360-degree cordless base allows easy lifting and pouring for left- or right-handed users. A removable washable limescale filter keeps water fresh. Boil-dry protection switches it off if empty, and the pull-off lid makes refilling simple.
It's lightweight at 1.48kg when empty, so moving it around is no bother, and the cream finish with gold details looks smart on any kitchen surface. You'll get a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee for reassurance.

Amazing kettle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an absolutely great kettle. Its design is so modern and minimalist. It looks lovely on my counter. There is space for cord storage in the base and the capacity is really good (6-8 cups at once). I have used it for almost two months and I love it. It boils the water fast and you can clean it very easily.

It looks so sleek and fits in so well with my kitchen decor.. I love the glow of the light when it’s turned on, it doesn’t make a lot of noise when boiling and boils super quickly so there not alot of waiting around!! I love that it can hold 8 cups perfect for having family round.. I think it’s a fab valued kettle that has been the best addition to my kitchen!! Highly recommend it.

Looks great, boils water!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's not much to say about a kettle - functionally this unit books water through a heated plate at the base, no old fashioned limescale covered heating element to be seen. But that's pretty normal. Also quite normal now but very useful is the base that powers it - 360 degree rotation so any angle will do, nice solid connection and unobtrusively sized. What I like here is the aesthetic. The manufacturer has clearly spent time on the design, it looks great. Well, as great as a kettle can! It's also very lightweight making it easy to use even when full. Heat up time to boiling was nice and quick and the little LED on the on/off switch both looked really smart as a design element and functioned clearly. Packaging was a bit of a faff, just put it in a box and protect the plug, are all the inserts and polythene sheets necessary? But all in all a lovely looking and well performing item from a well trusted manufacturer.

Stylish and easy to use kettle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really happy with this Breville kettle. It heats water quickly, looks lovely on the kitchen counter, and feels solid and well-made. I also like the clear water window because it makes it easy to fill just the right amount. Simple, practical, and nice to use every day

Tea time
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design is cute and lovely, instantly fell in love with the cream colour on the kettle. The handle is a decent size too and fits perfectly on the kitchen counter. It does have noise to it but I'm okay with it. Lid is nice you can take off too so great stuff!

Good looking but sheds black sediment
I bought this kettle - and it does exactly what it ought to do. I’ve had it about o months and I’m now concerned that it is not BPA free. I get a lot of black gritty powder / sediment at the bottom. I live in a hard water area but it’s filled with softened water. I’d love to raise my review to 5 star and would were it not for this stuff. So am now looking for a new one that clearly states it’s safe.

Perfect fit for my kitchen!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kettle is fab! I previously had the pink version of this and have upgraded now to the cream and it’s great! I’m in a hard waryer area but this is so easy to clean and remove limescale. It’s a great looking kettle that holds a lot, is quiet and can be placed anywhere as the cord can be coiled up underneath.

Lovely kettle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really like this kettle, very easy to use, quiet when boiling and looks nice on the kitchen side. Has a built in filter so if you live in a hard water environment any limescale is not dispensed into your drink. Whats not to love?

Nice sleek addition to the kitchen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very sleek kettle, compared to my old kettle. It’s nice and light when empty and easy to pour. The water boiled quickly and, like all kettles, it’s easy to use.

Breville VKT179 Obliq Kettle is not designed to give the water a metallic taste. If the kettle is new, you may notice a slight taste or odour during the first few uses, which should disappear after a few boil-and-discard cycles.
Breville VKT203 Obliq Kettle comes with a black power cord.
Breville model VKT203 is the cream version, often listed as ‘vanilla cream’ by retailers. If you’re specifically looking for a white kettle to match your appliances, the white version is model VKT180.
Hi Rosemary - The Kettle has a 360° base so it can be comfortably used by right and left-handed people .
Hi Kaz - Length of the cable is 75cm.
