Advantages: Funky and quiet Disadvantages: Pours badly
...noticed that our faithful old breville kettle was starting to die in as much as it wasn't cutting out - great for steam cleaning the tiles but not so good on the kettle or our electric bill! And finally today it gave up the ghost and I had to hold a little ceremony for it as I put it on the ever growing pile of items to be taken to the local tip.
It was sad as it had lived with us for 4 years and expired just as I was gagging for a brew which compounded ... ...And that kettle was a Breville Spectra everchanging illuminated kettle. So in my desparation for a cup of tea I walked over to Argos and purchased this kettle for £44.99.
This kettle has everything our old kettle had but is new and improved by the looks of things. It is still a 1.7 litre capacity and it still has a fast boil 3000w element and it is a very similar shape. It sits on base with an enclosed element and it can be moved around 360 degrees. ...

Advantages: KEEP WARM FACILITY, GREAT LIGHT SHOW Disadvantages: COOLS DOWN TOO QUICKLY IF KEEP WARM IS NOT USED
The Breville spectra is the new generation of kettles mixing the functionality of a kettle with the soothing effect of soft "ever changing" lighting. I have bought my breville about 5 months ago mainly due to the fact that my last kettle was on its last legs due to having a baby and the constant need for boiling water (I think it just had enough).
The Breville kettle was not my first choice as I wanted something completely stainless steel to match ... ...it might as well match-what I told my husband). I saw the Kettle in one of my catalogues and was quite intrigued by it. It was stainless steel but the pictures showed three different coloured lighting in three different pictures. I subsequently went to see it in my local electrical store to see what it was all about. I asked the salesperson to plug it in for me (local stores are always helpful) and I was hooked. The lights were not just tri-coloured ...

Advantages: Light shows, Keep warm function, Disadvantages: Novelty can wear off
I bought this kettle as a novelty Christmas present for my girlfriend as her other kettle was only 800 Watts and took an eternity to boil. This one is much more powerful, rated at 3KW and boils very quickly indeed. The light show is very entertaining, in fact so much so, that I wanted to put it in the living room. My girlfriend objected for some reason ?
The way it slowly fades from one colour to the next is very asthetically pleasing. When you ... ...changes from blue to red as the water heats up. My only niggle is that as soon as it has boiled it switches back to colour changing mode straight away. I would have preferred it to stay red for a while to indicate the water is hot. Handy for kids to know this too.
The keep warm function I suppose is a great feature for larger households that use the kettle often. I rarely use the function myself.
Overall I would recommend this kettle to anyone. ...

Advantages: keep hot button. Disadvantages: poor safety - the lid pops open when in mid boil!
...I returned it to breville and they sent me another one. The same thing happened again. THIS IS NOT A SAFE PRODUCT. It has ruined my kitchen upboards and has scolded me with hot water. I believe that this product should be RECALLED!
The boil is too long and the lid doesn't shut properly so that this, in my opinion, makes this product exceptionally unsafe.
Apart from changing the kettle, Breville or pulse products, do not want to know. Stay away ...

As a regular user of this product (Breville JK99 HALO S/S) every day i find its services to be indespensible.
For example the inbuilt scope attachment, fourshot and the added ability to make smoothies make this kettle (Breville JK99 HALO S/S) the most more

We bought this fantastic machine today, and are very impressed with it on the very first day! Cost £49.99 from argos. The first thing we extracted were oranges. We used 5 oranges, and it filled up the whole jug. So that gives you a estimate of 4 - 6... more
