Breville JK82 Lightning

...So I bought the Breville JK82 Keep Warm Lightning Jug Kettle. To me in the shop it looked like what I wanted, inexpensive (not cheap), a decent brand name, it was a kettle (which was of course crucial), it looked half decent (actually its' quite snazzy really, its' cordless in white plastic - which actually looks OK with a big see through panel on both sides) it looked as if it held enough (in this case 1.7 litres - so it was more than enough). I ...
...deed was done. Result I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived home and started to unpack it to find a really helpful and well written instruction book, although my immediate reaction was why do I need an instruction book - its' only a kettle. All you do is fill it with water and boil it, empty and repeat a couple of times and then you have a fully functioning kettle.

Review of Breville JK82 Lightning

Review of Breville JK82 Lightning

The minefield of kettles is a nightmare to go through - trying to find the right one for you can be horrific - scanning all the catalogues, trailing round the shops and searching online - I found this one at Comet and it was "love at first site". The overall design is very pleasing to the eye - very sleek lines for a kettle . Large chunky handle that is easy to grip. fairly solid plastic construction with the element concealed under a metal plate ...
...view of the water level - so no excuse for letting the kettle boil dry. ( but it does have an anti boil-dry feature The ketlle is very easy to operate with the on off switch on top of the handle - (it is auto-off but you can switch off manually) . It has a fun side to it with the nice blue colour emitted from a small bulb inside when it is "resting", which changes to a red colour when it is in the process of heating and boiling. It also has a keep ...
