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. However I did look around the internet to insure that I was doing the best thing. I really wanted a kettle that was funky, stylish...

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...

Breville Stainless Steel Kettle - does what it says

Advantages: Funky little think
Disadvantages: Can be costly if you don't shop around

...***Breville Spectra Stainless Steel Kettle*** Ive tried many new kettles since we bought our new house, but last December we had our kitchen totally refitted, but unfortunately it meant all of our white reliable appliances looked a bit out of place with our shiny new kitchen. What did I want from kettle: Prior to going shopping we decided that everything had to be black or stainless steel to colour co-ordinate with our kitchen (or should I say I decided, my partner was not that fussed!). But most importantly I wanted a kettle that was reliable, easy to use and easy to clean. Where did I shop: Im quite a frequent shopper at Argos because I love some of their special offers and on this occasion they had a sale on a lot of their electrical appliances. The kettle cost me £34.00 and I had the option to purchase the 3 year replacement...

Review of Breville JK144 S/S Spectra

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...

Review of Breville JE2

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...

Review of Breville TT68

Lovely filtered water straight from the kettle

Advantages: Fresh, filtered hot water
Disadvantages: Rocks about on base. Flex is fairly short

...I have used Brita water filters for years, and when time came to change my kettle I decided to buy a kettle with built in Brita filter technology. This left me 2 brand choices - Brita's old own brand range or the new partner range produced by Breville. As I do not use the kettle too much I decided to go for the cheapest option and purchased a JK95 from Argos for £29.99. The kettle features a quick boiling 3Kw concealed element, Brevilles Lightening colour change technology, a keep warm feature, 360 degree cordless base and Brita Maxtra filter technology. The Brita Maxtra is a new filter format from Brita which claims to remove 20% more impurities than the older classic filter range. In use the kettle can be boiled whilst still filtering the water, although it is advisible to allow a reasonable amount to filter through before...
