I don't expect this thing to run out of any puff anytime soon. http://www.e-potpourri.com/wp-content/u ... oaster.jpg Re: Do you have a *quiet* kettle? 4Jun 06, 2010 5:49 pm We have a Sunbeam cordless kettle, have had it for about 4 years, no new kettle for new house here, was happy with one I had, turns itself off without whistling (I dont think many kettles whistle any more) and makes only the smallest of noise when boiling - if its dead quiet you can hear it but you would have to be a really light sleeper to be woken up by it from another room Re: Do you have a *quiet* kettle? 6Jun 06, 2010 5:59 pm I'm very happy with my new Sunbeam kettle - Cafe Series Peace & Quiet Kettle. So quiet compared to my previous Breville rapid boil. I love its 2 litre capacity as I often boil water in it for large pots of pasta. Super fast too. Re: Do you have a *quiet* kettle? 7Jun 07, 2010 10:59 pm Dollar, I like that toaster! We had a look and there's a matching kettle as well. We like them We'll go check them out 'in real life' and then decide on whether they'll match in. We'll have Laminex Charred Oak cabinets and Ultra Blanc (white on starfire) splashback with CS Nougat benchtops. Thanks! Oceanic with Nautilus upgrades.

Re: Do you have a *quiet* kettle? 10Jun 08, 2010 2:13 pm d@n Usually the loudest kettles are the one's where the heating element is concealed. The others that are exposed are suppose to be quieter but the bar gets dirtier over time. Your comments just reminded me of Nan's old 'jug'. It was ceramic with the exposed bar/element going down the side. Thanks for evoking some pretty warm and special memories of my grandparents Oceanic with Nautilus upgrades. Handover 8 September 2010 Re: Do you have a *quiet* kettle? 11Jun 08, 2010 2:40 pm I just got one for Mothers Day, because the unit we're staying in is tiny, and the kitchen is right outside the kids room. Its a Russell Hobbs, Whisper Kettle and it is BRILLIANT. If you weren't standing IN the kitchen you'd never know it was on. And even then sometimes I have to double check. It was a bit expsy @ $80 but worth every penny!!! ~W~ Building our forever home - Lilium Estate Clyde - Land due May 2019 Built our first home - Pakenham - 2011 Re: Do you have a *quiet* kettle? 13Jun 13, 2010 4:21 pm Oceanus2 Dollar, I like that toaster!
