Bought a new kettle for work as it died, went into Spotlight in South Melbourne that had this out for $50 but scanned at $35. Pretty good deal considering its $110 at Amazon!
Gets good reviews, sure it's just a kettle but I love me a good bargain!

Thanks. Got the egg & toast.
Thanks, I'll make sure to time travel to be able to get those prices.
Happens often at that price

I picked a set up earlier this year when I saw it on price hipster
Must be those feels when you didnt get a better bargain lol
I did get a better bargain lol, does it mean I have to negative vote? Hell no.
I think Spotlight uses the American Dating System. Month/Day/Year.
Quick check on their website show kettle at $35.
ML11 - Thanks for the info, good to know it's historic price. It puts current deal into perspective. Don't know why you got voted down for providing relevant information.
He got downvoted because he negged a deal over prices that are no longer available.
The downvotes were because of the neg and not the comment itself.
You can see who negged what? how?
I won't buy Tefal again. Had our Optigrill die a couple of months out of warranty with no help from the manufacturer or the Goodguys.
How long was the warranty period? If the thing died much sooner than you reasonably expected it to, warranty or not, you have a case for a refund/replacement/repair under Australian consumer law.
I agree with asubtleviolence, if the grill should have reasonably lasted longer I would contact the ACCC.
I agree with both the above - the good guys do this all the time - and tefal are useless within warranty let alone days out. I prefer to look elsewhere for pans as a result and avoid game over as much as I can but hey Australia's love of monopoly has crippled consumers.
Sometimes you have to get really firm with GG for them to help you. I had them claiming that an expensive iron whose handle got burning hot when used wasn't "unsafe". I forced the CS to go his manager until he'd back down.
I bought this kettle and the toaster chibot mentioned above a few months ago from Amazon and would recommend both.
If you have a Xiaomi wifi plug, use it with the kettle and you can turn it on while still in bed in the morning!
How does that work? Do you have to turn the kettle's switch to 'on' before going to bed?
Yeah, you turn the kettle on and the Xiaomi wifi plug off. I am still getting in the habit of doing this after I make a coffee.
As a bonus, if you have a Google Home, you can use the Xiaomi Wifi (not ZigBee) plug with it and tell it to 'turn the kettle on'.
I'm living the dream :)
I still don't see the utility.
Good kettles take 30 to 90 secs to heat three glasses of water, where's the efficiency in having Google turn on the kettle.@dealman: It so that by the time you have gone to the loo in the morning the kettle is already boiled.
It's also good for showing off to visitors.
just to ensure you are talking about Tefal Avanti Kettle(KI260860) which is compatible with the Xiaomi wifi? I somehow could not find it under Tech Specs on good guys site:
Hey mate, the Xiamoi Wifi plug is a separate item that I use with my kettle and can be used with most kettles.
It is just so convenient that I thought I would mention it, lots of OzBargainers have bought the plug in the past.
Thanks mate for your quick response. Did you mean the following product for Xiamoi Wifi Plug?
@NeverMissABargain: Yes, that's the style, you might be able to find it in stock on other sites, including ebay.
Just make sure it's not the ZigBee version.
It works with Google Home, but not Amazon Alexa.
Why not just buy a xiaomi kettle? Then you don't need to remember to turn the kettle switch on.
haha, I will as soon as they release a stainless steel one.
I bought the plug for around $10, it's a cheaper option.
xiaomi kettle has all stainless steel inside and with plastic cover outside to prevent hot surface.
FYI the Xiaomi kettle only supports bluetooth, not wifi, so this wouldn;t work anyway.
$110 for a kettle, what does it do?
Apparently it can heat up water to boiling point.
Boil water apparently.
Something our predecessors used to be able to do in a $2 saucepan (or so my history teacher told me).
Pfff primitives
I bought the kmart temp control kettle for $59 about 2 weeks ago, did lots and research, and love it …it's a breville copy,
https://www.kmart.com.au/product/1.7l-kettle-with-variable-t…
if you break the glass, its the same size as the $35 kettle if handy to swap glass….
I use 90c for my tea,
and 80c for water for poaching eggs like Heston does on masterchef ….don't need thermometer.
looks like a great deal.
Similar kettle at Target for $49
Temperature kettles are the best. Don’t know how anyone could think an RRP of $150 for a standard boiling kettle is reasonable.
for $110 this kettle better include a high-power blender, smart speaker, and playable JRPG.
… and support playing Doom.
DOOM!!!! omg. now thats showing your age. start of serious FPS that was
Doom aint got nothin on wolf3d
does this kettle consume less electricity than a $10 cheapo?
if so that would translate to long term savings
otherwise at RRP what is the advantage over a simpler kettle?
Can't imagine there would be difference in power consumption. So no savings.
Style & materials would be main difference with a cheapie.
Using a $7.50 Kmart kettle for years. Boiling water in that plastic container would put a lot of people off. But as am not using water for drinks or consumption, not an issue. Had 1 fail & Kmart swapped it for a new one.
RRP…what is that?
RRP is, whatever price we want to tell you it is worth. This isn't what you can probably get it for everywhere else.
The almost need a 3rd price structure. ARP (Average retail price) so the price, on average, that you can get a product for based on everyone elses price.
I fail to see how this kettle would be worth $150, even if I didn't see it for under $70 just about everywhere on the internet in other places
Recommended ridiculous price
RRP…what is that?
It's a device which causes the anchoring effect to occur which leads to a percentage of the readers thinking it's a good deal when they would not have if the RRP was not listed.
While we experience value, or what you call worth, as a fixed quantity in reality it can be easily changed using the RRP.
Just had a look and closes I've found is $79.95 at Harris Scarf marked down from $129.95.
So OP got a decent deal considering this.https://www.harrisscarfe.com.au/electrical/kitchen-appliance…
What so special about this that commands $150 RRP?
This kind of multi-function digital kettle is less than $30: https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=572837069789
Weird.
Same reason the below kettle is $799. Because they can.

Damn that thing is ugly
That $110 must be an error?
They were $29 in the Mothers day sale, discounted from $59.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/375617good kettle.
So the fanciful figure of $110 is a deliberate consequence of active price jacking
I do enjoy putting in the RRP it’s like giving vultures meat to snack on! Love me a good pan and cookware RRP price!
How is that thing $150? Looks like a 25 dollar kettle lol
Looks just like the $25 Target stainless one I just picked up. Boils water, 360 degree base, doesn't leak = good enough.
Great deal OP, thanks! I picked up last one on the shelf at Capalaba. $50 on the tag marked down to the $35 at the counter.
Spewing, my kettle broke this morning & closest with stock to Sydney is Bathurst :(
A couple of other bargains -
