Breville DF3

Advantages: Stylish, quick boil
Disadvantages: Short Life

...I bought the Breville Classique (KT6) from COMET on the 30 August 2001 for what I considered was a fair price (£36) considering its looks and features. The quite fetching chromed stainless steel body looked a treat in our kitchen (which has stainless appliances) and as we live in a hard water area the scale filter is a noce little touch - shame it is so flimsy as it broke after about 6 months. It has a quickboil (3KW) element and does what you expect in that department. If you do buy I wish you luck - mine died (element failure) before the 2 year point and the kettle only carries a 1 year guarantee. COMET did not want to know and BREVILLE were not interested. In discussions with BREVILLE they said that they expected the kettle to last around 4 or 5 years but would not stand by that by offering me a replacement at half the retail price... Read review

Advantages: very light
Disadvantages: none

...I needed a new kettle and prefer breville as they have always been a good make and i have never had any complains with their items.... i went round my local town centre to look for a decent one and this one caught my eye - also, it was in a sale at hughes for £12.99 so i snapped it up - that was a good deal for breville... now for the boring bits;- 1.7ltre jug kettle cordless 8000w concealed elements on/off light indicator water level indicator plus 1yr warranty i chose the white one but you could also get it in silver.... I also think it is easy to use and clean and the flex isnt too long so it doesnt get in the way, making this safer than my last kettle...... Read review

Advantages: Light indicates when sandwich is cooked
Disadvantages: Pan is unremoveable and can be difficult to clean

...The Breville SG21 has to be one of the best Sandwich makers produced by Breville even though it is quite old now. This sandwich maker enables its user to easily create up to 2 quick snacks at one and it even has a cutting action. This Sandwich toaster comes with some small recipes which gives the user a few easy sandwich ideas on what to they could make. The great thing about the grill is that it can cook sandwhiches very quickly and it has a light. When the light goes off it indicates that the sandwich is cooked and it is ready to eat. The one not so good about this sandwhch toaster is thay it can be very difficult to clean as food clings to the pans since they aren't removeable. Apart from this the toaster has no bad points and i would recommend it to anyone looking for a decent toaster.... Read review
