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 JK96 Kettle

Advantages: Filter jug and Kettle in one
Disadvantages: Reduced Capacity to incorporate filter part

...We live in a hard water area and making a cup of tea without filtering the water first not only tastes awful but scales your kettle in a matter of weeks. When our kettle died and being fed up with having a separate water filter jug and kettle I seized the opportunity to combine the two. I ended up choosing the Breville JK96 water jug 39.99. This was about £20 cheaper than buying a Brita brand kettle. The kettle comes in 3 colours, the white with pink light, silver with blue light and brushed steel with blue light. I chose the silver and blue light as it was £10 cheaper than the stainless steel but looked similar in the picture. I have to say it does look a bit "plasticy" when on the side but doesn't show the dried water stains that my previous kettle got. This kettle uses Brita's new Maxtra cartridge, for fast efficient...

Breville JK98 - Classique Collection

Advantages: Fast Boiling Time
Disadvantages: Very hot to touch

...This is only going to be a short review, because you cant talk forever about a kettle. Especially the breville JK98. I will start off with all the technical bits. It has a 360 degree rotation base, a 3KW fast boil element and a 1.7 litre capacity. As there is no picture i will try my best to explain how the JK98 looks. Well...its black and stainless steel. Its big fat and round at the bottom, and the opposite at the top. Infact its so thin at the top compared to the bottom, the lid can be very awkward to open. It fits the name '' jug '' . It also has a big black handle, thats doesnt perticularly fit to the hand. If you happen to acciddently touch the stainless steel part of the body, it is extemely hot when just boiled. It is a heavy kettle, let alone when its full of water. Last but not least ours seems to shoot water from...

Review of Breville BR.JK98

Breville BR.JK98

Advantages: Lightweight, stylish and trendy
Disadvantages: Fiddly to fill from a water jug

...The Breville BR.JK98 is a stylish kettle, with a very modern look of a mainly stainless steel chrome body with a black plastic handle, lid and base. Its a good combination of colours and goes well in my kitchen. It is one of the lightest chrome kettles on the market, as I have difficulty carrying heavy items I searched out the lightest I could find. It has a full 360 degree rotation on the base, enabling great ease of use for either left or right handed people. Being a cordless kettle this gives an easier use as you're not trailing the cord over the work top. The cord is contained within the base of the kettle, and there is a generous length that stretches the full width of the work top, enabling use a fair distance away from the plug sockets. I fill the kettle from a water jug and I found the narrow top of the kettle difficult...

Breville JK15 - King of Kettles

Advantages: Ergonomic, Fashionable, Modern
Disadvantages: None so far

...My Experience? The Breville JK15 Lightening kettle wasn't exactly the cheapest kettle on the shelf however it looked appealing and efficient, so I bought it. After the first few uses of the kettle when I got back home I knew that I had made the right choice. It boils water in no time at all, even when at max capacity. The handle is easy on the hand and makes it effortless to lift yet when full. In comparison to other kettles I've had in the past, this is the best by far. The body doesn't get hot, so I avoid burning myself and its made of plastic unlike its predecessor that was made of stainless steel - this one kept shocking me whenever I touched it. The Breville JK15 is a good little worker that just keeps going, furthermore it just looks cool! Design? This kettle embodies the word perfect when it comes to its structure. It is...

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

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 JK73 Lightning

3RD BREVILLE KETTLE TO FAIL

Advantages: LOOKS NICE
Disadvantages: GOES WRONG

...This is the 3rd yes 3rd Breville kettle I have had that has failed in some way. The lid opening mechanism started to get stuck, then eventually, it just flew apart exposing some wiring and preventing you from opening the lid, leaving you trying to fill the kettle through the spout. Before that I had another high spec Breville Stainless kettle and the base failed, sometimes making connection, sometimes not and it used to make quite nasty sparky type electrical noises during that time, so believing it dangerous I replaced it. Before that I had Breville Lightning jug kettle (JK82?) (a white one) and the body of the kettle discouloured to a cream, then began cracking and crazing. After weeks of complaining, Breville reluctantly replaced it. So that 3 kettles, all frankly failed badly, so what more can I say to you!...
