DeLonghi Distinta Kettle

my beautiful kettle so disappointing – i have bought a champagne iconametallic kettle 9 months ago which is now peeling around the base im not sure what to do with it, i really love it.they dont do this colour anymore .and im not happy that this has happened it was from Harvey Normans. Show details

The perfect kettle – When our first De Longhi kettle gave up after 10 years service, we bought a different brand from KMart. That lasted around 6 weeks before the lift up lid stuck. It was a piece of junk really. Decided to splash out on another De Longhi and it is just the best kettle ever. Looks fabulous and is solid. Love it Show details

Poor Quality for the price. Disappointing – I bought this kettle couple of years ago thinking this was high quality because of brand and price. This is not to be the case. The kettle functions ok but the quality of the kettle itself is not up to standard. To thirds down the kettle on the outside a silver look rim that deteriorates overtime. The colour stripping and around the rim and… Read more

discolouration. I have to continually wipe the rim a green substance comes off continually. Disappointed. I will not buy this brand again

Worst kettle ever – Had this kettle for about six months and the colour is starting to come off near the base. It first started a month ago and now it is peeling a lot. Going back to my trusty Breville that we had for years and was half the price of this piece of rubbish. Show details

10/10 – Love it. Does what it needs to do and is very stylish, compliments the kitchen with the matte finish look. We love it, and cant stop using it. Recommend it to anyone e. Show details

Don't purchase a Delonghi Distinta kettle – I received the Delonghi Distinta Matt black kettle and toaster for Xmas 2019. Within about 8-12 months the paint started to flake away from around the spout. I contacted Delonghi at approximately 15 months advising of this issue and asking for a replacement. It took them 4 weeks to reply and then they asked for photos of the damage which I sent… Read more

them. The damage is very clear in the photos. I also told them when I first complained that I was relocating from Qld to WA and of my new address. When they finally got back to me they said they would replace it even though the warranty period was up but they wanted the old kettle back. I then told them that all our possessions are in storage and that we wouldn't be retrieving them for some 6 to 12 months. I told them I was happy to forward the kettle back to them once we retrieved our items from storage. They wouldn't agree and said that unless they received the kettle back with the cord cut they wouldn't replace my faulty kettle. Really poor performance. I will never buy another Delonghi product because they charge a premium price for an inferior product. There are heaps of reviews about the same issues from lots of disgruntled customers.

Very noisy – Kettle is aesthetically pleasing but it ends there. Sounds like a train when boiling water. The sleek design would style any kitchen but don't buy if you're in the market for something practical. Show details

Good Kettle but colour came off – The Delonghi kettle is a great little kettle but the red surface started peeling off 6 months after we purchased it. We took it back to Harvey’s and they exchanged it for another one. Hope this one is ok, I love the colour. Show details

Disappointed in my Delonghi Kettle – I purchased my Delonghi Kettle and matching 4 slice toaster on the 28th November 2017. The toaster seems to be going well however, I am very disappointed in the finish of the kettle. The black colour seems to scratch so very easily and the chrome at the base is peeling. Does not look presentable any longer. Show details

It was great when it did work – When the kettle was working it quickly boiled water and I was satisfied with it however it broke just after a year and it kept turning off before the water had boiled. The kettle is very hot to touch from the outside and the lid does come off completely. I probably wouldn’t consider this style of kettle again given my concern for safety. Also may reconsider ever buying a delonghi brand kettle again given the short lifespan. Show details

Works fine- but after 2 years the finish is peeling off – Delonghi seem to specialise in making great looking kitchen products but unfortunately the quality is lacking. We have a black Distinta kettle and toaster about 2 years old and while they still work fine, we will never buy another Delonghi product (we also have a wine fridge which, based on the way Delongi support spare parts for their products,… Read more

is a $1200 throwaway item after just 5 years). The chrome finish is bubbling off and the black paint can easily be scraped off around the top edge by your finger nail. Other aspects of the operation of both appliances are good - the kettle heats up quickly and is relatively quiet and the toaster operation is as it should be. I'm of the view that premium appliances, if looked after, should maintain their aesthetic qualities for far longer than 2 years.

quality not good – Kettle water leaks out of the level window and colour is coming off. The silver strip around the lower level of kettle is peeling off. Not happy with this products and it is not cheap to buy definitely not happy with this products at all. I have bought cheaper products than this that have lasted longer and performed better that than this product Show details

Looks good, but that's about it – I bought this purely because of the blue colour!! The base is pretty light and feels like poor quality compared to my previous Sunbeam one. It is really noisy and seems to take ages to boil - even when not full (1.7litre model). Kind of expensive for a kettle at $130. But hey - it looks pretty!!  Show details

Great Upgrade – Purchased kettle as other stopped, very happy with the look and is very quick at heating up without making to much noise as it boils the water, holds 1.7 litres and so far no problems ,the old plastic kettle used to have an aftertaste but this one is fine so far, will no after further use of product.  Show details

Not happy – I bought the distinta copper kettle 18 months ago and now the finish is coming off the kettle and it looks horrible contacted delonghi and they say they won't do anything about it as the kettle still works. When you pay $128 for a kettle you expect it to last longer than 18 months. Harvey Norman said they will offer me a great price on another… Read more

kettle,

But that's not going to be of help as I bought the toaster to match the kettle and can't afford to buy another kettle, guess I will not be buying their brand next time I get 1 and I will certainly talk my friends out of purchasing 1.

Great Kettle – From the first boil we liked this kettle there was no after taste and it has a nice feel in the hand when holding (well weighted) it is also nice and quiet whilst boiling. My mother and brother both have the same kettle which was a reason we purchased as they have had no problems and have owned it for some time.  Show details

Should be recalled – Owned for 2 and a bit months before it started boiling on its own and wouldn't turn off. Then stopped working altogether. It's been a massive hassle trying to deal with delonghi and get a repair, replacement or refund. Will never be buying delonghi again. Lucky we were home to remove the kettle from the power point who knows why damage it could have caused.  Show details

Stylish kettle, good performance – I bought this kettle last week and so far am really pleased, we got in pure white and looks really nice with the matching toaster. It feels nice to hold, even when filled with max water. Ive had surgery on my wrist so had to be easy to lift and pour, which it definitely is. Only reason I havent given it 5 stars is because it could be a little faster to boil but other than that I love it  Show details

Basic model is the best! – I bought a Delonghi Distinta kettle in copper which was the super-duper fancy model with the different temperature choices for different teas! An absolute piece of rubbish! If it was on 100c it just would not finish boiling; just kept going on & on & on until the kitchen was full of steam & the blinds dripped. I took it back & exchanged it for… Read more

the simple, basic model (still Distinta & still copper) but just the one switch for boil & it is perfect! Works well- quiet, quick & looks great.

Terrible Don't buy – Nice looking kettle but it continues to boil and won't turn off. Took it back tried another with the same result. No good it needs to work properly it's dangerous should be recalled. Fix up the error and then delonghi should think about adding a digital temperature reader so you can see what temperature its up to as it boils.

Dont Buy It! – Listen, it look good.. but it has no functional use in the kitchen. Mine scratched at the slighted touch with anything else. Its a pretty coating, and nothing else. I use my kettle, its not a show piece.... now it looks pretty and scratched.. wasn't worth the money. DONT BUY IT!

Recommend – After seeing so many kettles on the market and becoming confused I purchased this model. I wanted a side handle so as not to burn oneself as pouring out the hot water. Can refill water through the nossel. It is very fast to boil. Easy to clean. So far it has been great and I can highly recommend it.

Never Again – Liked the look of this kettle and it matched my toaster, in the Bronze. But again DeLonghi have disappointed. The highest temperature won't turn off. This is the setting which boils the water but it just boils and boils. After having so much trouble with the 4-slice toaster I shall be boxing it up and returning it, as inconvenient as it is. Hope this helps --- maybe I am just EXTREMELY unlucky with DeLonghi products. Regards

Not the quietest – While the kettle is generally quite good to use, easy to fill without obstruction. The biggest problem, or at least it's only problem we have is its intrusion into our peaceful environment. Extremely noisy  Show reply
