Breville JK116 Brita filter kettle

Advantages: Water filer, stay warm feature, colour ilumination
Disadvantages: Only holds 1.25 litres of water

...I bought this kettle to replace a Breville Lightning kettle. I was originally going to buy a filter jug as well until I discovered that you could buy a kettle that filters the water before boiling. The Kettle comes with a Brita Maxtra Cartridge and a voucher for £2.00 off is included in the pack. I made the mistake of buying replacement cartridges at the same time as the kettle as I did not realise that the cartridges last one month. The Cartridges cost roughly £6.99 for two. The kettle has a 3kw fast boil element so it does boil quite quickly, it is however quite noisy but you soon get used to this and don't notice after a while. The kettle only has a boiling capacity of 1.25 litres due to the Filter cartridge but I have found that it is adequate for a small family. It is more compact than the other filter kettles that...

Review of Breville JK116 3000W 1.25LTR

Filtered to perfection

Advantages: Many advantages, see review.
Disadvantages: None.

...The professional photographers like myself or the high end amateur photographers will probably all have used or tried using some sort of lens filter or another. Lens filters are designed to screw on to the end of lenses (mainly DSLR) to create different effects, you get many types of filters from the simple UV like this one through to polarizer's and star filters. This Hama UV filter is mainly used for cutting out the harmful effects that can be had both on your lens and on your images by UV light but they are handy also for the simple task of protecting your lens glass and that is why I for one have one on all my lenses at all times. If you catch the glass of your lens and scratch it or god forbid break it you are looking at a huge outlay for a new one where as if you have a simple UV filter, it takes the knocks and can be...

Breville JK119 ~ Cuppa during the adverts

Advantages: Design, Look, Speed of boil
Disadvantages: None

...Up until November 2008 I had always used the Breville JK52 model that was until it blown up and stopped working. So here is a review of the item that I bought to replace the JK52 model. I need to buy another kettle which was quick at boiling and was of course stylish. As I had had my last Breville since November 2005 I was more than happy to buy another Breville. I decided on the Breville JK119 Model Price and Availability Argos ~ £29.00 collection for free Additions Direct £29.90 and up to £3.50 delivery Amazon £31.00 free delivery Why this model Well as I have already said I wanted another Breville as I had been happy with the previous model that was until it died.

Breville makes your sandwiches feel toasty all over

Advantages: User friendly, toasts quickly and so easy to keep clean
Disadvantages: The catch can be a little tight to close

...there hands with the idea. But the most popular brand has to be from the boffins at the Australian company known as Breville, who have created many different types of sandwich toasters. The sandwich toaster I actually own, and have done for a while now, is from the mentioned Breville range and is, in my opinion, a godsend when it comes to creating warm sandwiches for all the family, in a matter of minutes. ** THE TECHNICAL BITS first? This sandwich toaster comes with removable easy to clean, dishwasher safe, heating plates to toast your bread and melt the filling to perfection. It has a simple single heat setting with a built in thermostat to so the ?plates? never exceed a set temperature, the little green and red light taking turns to illuminate dependant on the units temperature. Unfortunately though...

YOU STEAMY LITTLE DEVIL, BREVILLE.

Advantages: Easy to use, boils quickly, inexpensive
Disadvantages: Lid is difficult to remove, filter is fiddly to remove

...on the hob whilst I surfed the internet in search of a new kettle. I paddled my way over to Argos and before my pan of water had even reached boiling point I had identified the kettle I wanted, ordered it, paid for it and arranged to collect it later in the day. The kettle that caught my eye was a Breville KT17 traditional cordless stainless steel kettle priced at £24.99 from The Classique range. This 1.7 litre capacity kettle featured 3kw fast boil with concealed element and rear water gauge, it has a 360° swivel base and a removable, washable filter. In my opinion a kettle is a kettle is a kettle and I didn't want to pay a ridiculous amount of money on some fan dangled, all singing, all dancing appliance with built in FM radio, crazy frog ring tone, Bio Rhythm predictor and remote control for the space shuttle ! I just wanted...

Hoya UV Filters, A vital accessory for your lenses.

Advantages: Filters out UV haze, Protects your lens front element.
Disadvantages: None

...Introduction Ultra violet filters are probably one of the least glamorous and most mundane photographic accessories around, yet they are an essential part of of your system, and practically all photographers fit them to the front of their lenses and leave them there. So who makes them?, what are they?, what do they do? and why would you want one? I will try and answer these questions below. Firstly who makes them? There are several companies that make filters for camera lenses, but Hoya, "the subject of this review", are one of the biggest and well known brands of filter around. Hoya was founded in Japan in 1941 and have their headquarters in Shinjuku, Tokyo, they manufacture optical products ranging from laser equipment and photographic equipment to contact lenses, and they are one of the world's leading...

Breville Juicer for Health

Advantages: Easyh to operate, provides better nutrition, fun to experiment with
Disadvantages: cleaning it afterwards!

...counteracts the "garlic breath" but I don't think that's true!). The ingredients produced about half a cup of the juice and I just drank it straight down. It was horrible! I could feel it burn its way down and my nose and eyes would not stop running for about 5 minutes. My cold however, vanished. Some people may not think it worth the experience and endure the cold. But I do think I put a little too much garlic in the juicer, and have had the same results since with just one clove. Protein in the form of eggs can also be added to juice concoctions, but I never was one for raw eggs, so have not tried this. The Juicer itself ? I'd better say something about it! The base of our machine is coloured silver. This has an hinged chrome lever that clips over the filter bowl cover that captures the juice. Into the filter bowl clips...

Breville TT68c

Advantages: No need to stand and watch, will eject when ready
Disadvantages: None as yet

...I have just bought this toaster a week ago because my old one burnt out. Although the cost was £41:99p I wanted one that pushed the look of a quality build onto me. Others just seemed to reflect light. When you look at this Breville TT68 you emmediatly see the build quality is there. Before its pluged in you will see that the sides are covered with a clear plastic that is actually Pollycarbonate stuff. normally the silver sides collect finger prints and it looks dirty even after one use. This is easy to wash therefore looks clean all the time. When you start to use it, you will find the slots are extra long for that bread that wont fit a lot of other toasters. At the bottom there is a crumb tray which is a must. There is also a cancel button if you decide to cut the toasting lenth down sharply. The thing I like is the blue LED lights...

Breville VTP041 slow cooker good but hotter

Advantages: Large capacity 4.5 litre, auto setting available
Disadvantages: quite hot on the outside - approixmately 50 degree C

...I have previously tried Cookworks white round 3.5 litre slow cooker and unfortunately it only lasted for 3 months - the inner ceramic crock developed hair-line cracks leading to a slow leak. Thus I returned it to Argos at the end of March and exchanged it for a Breville slow cooker which was on special offer for £19.49 (now the price is £38.99 today). Two months on, it is still performing as it should. It is a 4.5 litre cooker and it can accomodate a whole chicken in the oval shape inner crock. The appearance is good - very shinny heating base and surprisingly light as well. There are four settings - off, low, high and auto. The auto setting will allow you to heat up the meal faster at the beginning on 'high' and then automatically switch to 'low' for slow cooking. When it is used the first time, I noticed that...
