I'm on my second Breville Soft Top Kettle.  The kettle has great features and works well.  First one lasted a long time and was well built.  Second one only lasted a couple of years and that is disappointing.  From the first to second kettle, you can tell that the build quality is diminishing.  If Breville returns to the better build and materials, I will come back to this product but for now, other options with longer warranty seem better.
