About this product
Boil enough water for the family fast with the Breville VKT221 Bold Kettle. Its powerful 3000W concealed element and 1.7l capacity deliver rapid results for tea, cafetiere or cooking. The hidden element simplifies descaling, and the removable, washable limescale filter keeps drinks fresh. Boil-dry protection switches off the kettle if empty, preventing accidents. The glossy ridged texture with chrome accents looks sleek, and illuminated controls glow white when boiling, visible even in dim light.
The pull-off lid makes refilling and cleaning easy, and the 360-degree base works perfectly whether you're left or right-handed. At just 1kg when empty and with 0.7m of cord tucked away neatly, it fits comfortably into any kitchen setup. You'll get a solid 1-year manufacturer's guarantee for complete peace of mind.

Stylish, lightweight kettle with fast boiling and easy filling via removable lid or spout. Quiet operation and good capacity praised. Some concerns on durability, noise, and slight color inconsistencies.

Good kettle, but keep an eye on the steam vent.
Bought as a replacement for the exact same model, bought well over 3 years ago. Important Note: at the top of the handle is a steam vent (a little hole under the top rim) which is key to the kettle switching-off when boiling. We were unaware of this, so our regular de-limescaling never addressed this little hole, which means the old kettle only switched off after ages of boiling - hence this replacement. In future, we will apply some limescale remover to this hole! Otherwise, the kettle does fine!!!

Does its job efficiently
It looks good on my kitchen counter. It’s Lightweight, boils quietly and quickly. Only downside is the lid has to lift off completely. Overall, we are happy with our new kettle, and bought the matching toaster

Breville VKT257 Bold White Kettle comes with a black power lead and black plug.
Hi, the cable length is 75 cm.
Breville VKT223 kettle has a wide spout for easy pouring, but it does not include a specific anti-splash or anti-drip device to prevent boiling water from spitting. For safe use, we recommend pouring slowly and avoiding overfilling.
Hi, yes, the window where the water level is visible is illuminated.
According to the information on this page it should be illuminated.
It states it in both the wording and on the pictures.
Hi!
The water window does not illuminate in this kettle but the on/off switch should illuminate. If your kettle has a problem with this, please contact us through our website.
Hi Sam,
To descale Breville VKT223 kettle, we recommend using a proprietary kettle descaler (readily available in supermarkets or online) or a solution of white vinegar and water. Descaling should be carried out every 4–8 weeks, depending on the hardness of your local water supply (more often in hard water areas).
Hi JVS. I can confirm that the element is stainless steel and the body of the kettle (both exterior and interior) is plastic. I do hope this helps.
All Breville products are designed and developed in the UK and US and manufactured in the People's Republic of China.
