We recently bought out 3rd Breville Soft Top Pure.  A second, older one, still is in use at an office and another recently stopped working due to what seemed like a tired electric connection.  We didn't hesitate to purchase a replacement.  We have used our old one many times a day for many years.  It seemed appropriate that it was now tired and we were very excited to have a new shiny one.  We can't recommend this product more enthusiastically.  It's made of very high quality materials, is perfectly balanced for filling and pouring and is very quiet, except for a familiar ding when the water is hot.
