Morphy Richards manhattan 43015 Chrome Kettle

Advantages: Design, Looks,Boiling speed,Blue light
Disadvantages: Water level indicator, Filling ability

...low we settled on the Morphy Richards Manhattan Kettle to replace our other Morphy Richards Kettle 43120 Glass Please read the review on the 43120 when i post is as it is a dangerous kettle Anyway back to the new Manhattan The kettle is finished in a highly polished shiney chrome which actually resists finger prints very well so it stays cleaner. It gives the appearance of being very tall and slim and in the shop it looked a bit odd but when we ...
...a double cool wall and for those who are worrined as it is metal and conducting heat from the water don't. Yes its gets warm but not hot enough to scold if you accidently touch it. When the kettle is put on to boil there is a funky blue light which lights up the water level indicator on both sides. One draw back is the water level indicator is difficult to read where the level is as the window is very thin. You get used to the cup indicator rather ...

Review of Morphy Richards 43015 Manhattan

Icona kettle is brilliant!

Advantages: Fast boiling.
Disadvantages: Water marks a pain

After buying a DeLonghi Icona toaster a while ago I was so pleased with it that I went out and bought the kettle. My kettle is a rather glossy, retro red; its quite a rich colour so manages not to be tacky and, unlike some of the other De Longhi kettles I've seen it's shape is lovely and it's not too round The kettle itself boils quickly and does exactly what it says on the tin. If I was to complain about anything I'd say that the water level marker ...
...marks on the chrome and paint can be a bit of a pain but nothing a quick wipe down won't sort out; a small price to pay for a funky looking kettle that adds a sense of fun and originality to my kitchen. Like the toaster its not cheap but it is worth it! ...

Review of Delonghi KBO3001

An Illuminating Kettle

Advantages: It lights up, keep warm system, easy pour, light, quick boil
Disadvantages: None

...he came back with the Breville Spectra Keep Warm system kettle. The number one gimmick with this kettle is that it changes colour whilst it is on standby, a soft ever changing illumination. To me this looks kind of cool and funky when it is on the kitchen shelf. The kettle has see through plastic on the spout, half of the handle and on a little button on the front that says Breville and this is where it changes colour. The colours are fairly bright ...
...on. The colours change from orange, to red, to purple, to blue to green and to yellow and then follow the pattern again. I would say each colour lasts for about 5 seconds and then fades into the other colour so it changes quite rapidly. The rest of the kettle surface has a chrome effect and to me feels a bit plasticy but the good thing with it being plastic is that it is quite light and also does not make the outside of the kettle really hot when ...

Review of Breville JK144 S/S Spectra

Makes Making a Cuppa a Cinch!

Advantages: Energy saving, Quick to boil, Stylish, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Amount poured is not adjustable, water drips, only good for filling cups

...bought it to replace another Breville kettle. The previous one worked fine but hot water seemed to drip down the front when pouring, which isn't very good. This 'Hot Cup' kettle is very different though and looks not too dissimilar to a coffee machine and it pours the water for you without you having to lift it off the base (it's more of a dispenser really). It has a bright blue light where the button is and the transparent part of the body with ...
...the kettle on. Overall, I think the kettle is very stylish looking kettle. The kettle is an energy-saving kettle and also a very quick boiling kettle, which is just what we need as no one likes waiting for water to boil. We had previously bought a quick boiling kettle which is supposedly boiled water in a matter of seconds but the results were so disappointing that we returned it. This kettle on the other hand has been quite impressive but it's not ...

Review of Breville VKJ142 Hot Cup Kettle

What A Disaster!

Advantages: boils water quickly, has a filter
Disadvantages: very huge, very expensive, not 100% silent

The Morphy Richards 43693 is a cordless 3.1kw electrical kettle for boiling or heating water. We bought ours a few months ago the same time I bought the matching toaster. The kettle has 1.5 litre capacity which is well enough for lots of cuppa teas. The Morphy Richards 43693 has a concealed element which prevents scales from building up. The kettle comes in a big white box with the three page manual enclosed. I am sure a lot of people are familiar ...
...vacuums to bread makers etc. Morphy Richards is quiet respected and all their products come with a two year manufacture warranty. Price and Place We bought our kettle from Currys for £39.99 which is ten pounds more than the matching toaster. I really did think the price was ridiculous for a kettle but on the other hand it wasn't me paying so I couldn't care less. However, because I've now had experience with the kettle I really do think it is ...
