I actually have the kettle that makes a sound that sounds like an organ definitely not worth the astronomical price! Also the handle can melt if it is not directly over the flame. Think carefully about buying a kettle and perhaps the one made in England is the wiser choice. Don't buy anything made in China as it may look fine but believe me it isn't.

I think the only difference is the color of the work table. The Platinum table is grey, and the Premium table is black... I also believe that the Platinum comes in a few more kettle color options.

It is regular time, the same as low cost kettles; nothing special; BTW my stopped to work after 1.5 month; now it is 2 months i'm back and force with customer service for replacement. Frankly, they are nice and willing to help, however, send me wrong product for replacement (coffee brewer). So, i end up with another headache to return the one. Though, we still love the kettle (look awesome), just wish it works

My kettle is only 120 but they have the units that you are asking for, check out eBay or send Breville an email.

My understanding is that the newer PIC may be referred to on Amazon as PIC 2. The Nuwave website only sells the newest version but you may still occasionally find the older models offering fewer features on Amazon and other websites. I have had mine for around D five months and have used it every day. I have only used my stove top one time since my PIC arrived. I love it. I have read a few bad reviews but my niece had one and loved it so I decided to try it. The shipping is outrageous but getting the two PIC's along with the cook set ran just over $120 (If I remember correctly) and I feel it was a worthy purchase. Hope this helps.

I do not know. The kettle was smaller than I wanted and I gave it to my niece.

I just ordered this one and I received the newer model. It has a wider handle, fill line markers, narrower spout, polished outside, not shiny on the inside. Works great!!! I love this item.

Stand says it is 1500 W. I've had other, more expensive kettles and they were no faster at heating the water. It is very fast.

The Kettle has 1 year limited warranty, so you are fine. Just contact Amazon. When I bought it, I purchased additional 2 years warranty.

No - this kettle is amazing. I really don't know how I lived without one for so long. And their customer service is tiptop.

I don't know but my recommendation is DONT BUY!!! the kettle failed after four months - it did not switch off and boiled dry to the point of melting the plastic base. More than four months after contacting the seller we are still waiting for a refund.

Hi Michael, Best I can tell, they're the same. In that family of products, each model comes in two versions: one where you manually control the flow of hot water, and one that allows you to "preset" the amount of water you want to use for your beverage. For me the extra money for this gadget is not worth it. You get used to the amount of hot water you need pretty quick. The only downside is you can't hit the button and run into the shower. But hey, we're talking about 30 seconds, if even. Back to you question: my understanding is that the manual Piccolo is called Piccolo Plus, and the automatic one is called Piccolo Genius. One sure way to tell them apart: you should pay around 50$ for the Piccolo Plus, and the Genius sells for approx 130$...

The original model had cost around $40. It appears that the newer model has been "cost reduced" (I have to leave that research up to other Amazon customers since I do not have the new one). From pictures, the new model appears to look cheaper.

The more expensive one is enhanced and the newest version . The 199.00 is the older model.

I do not have a go anywhere but I can compare the Smokey Joe silver vs the gold.If you're not traveling with it then I would suggest the Silver for the cheaper price vs the gold. The gold has lid locker which keep everything in 1 piece for traveling and storage, it has side vents for better control of ventilation etc. The go anywhere because of its square shape seems more stable and it looks like its built sturdier. I personally prefer the kettle design but the choice is really up to you depending on you budget and needs.
