Is the Breville Smart Kettle worth $179.95?

If you brew tea at different temperatures and use keep-warm, the presets justify the price over a $40 kettle. If you only boil water for coffee or cooking, a basic kettle does the same job for far less.

How does it compare with a variable-temperature gooseneck kettle?

It has presets and keep-warm but a wide spout, so it is fine for tea and French press, not for slow pour-over. A gooseneck gives more pour control but usually fewer presets.

How much water does it hold?

1.7 liters, about 57 ounces, enough for roughly six to seven cups. The water window shows the level without lifting the lid.

What temperatures can I set?

Five presets cover the usual tea and coffee ranges, and keep-warm holds the chosen temperature for 20 minutes before shutting off.

The kettle jug, the 360-degree power base and the instruction book. The filter is built into the spout.

Our take on the Breville the Smart Kettle

The Breville the Smart Kettle is a 1.7-liter brushed stainless steel electric kettle with five preset temperature settings and a 20-minute keep-warm mode. Its 1500-watt element boils fast, and the presets let you hit the right temperature for green tea, French press or instant coffee without a thermometer. The best new price is $179.95 at Amazon as of November 5, 2026, the only new listing tracked, so there is no lower store to compare against right now.
