Breville JK82 Lightning White Kettle

I just hate it when I have one of my blonde moments in the kitchen! Fortunately, they don't happen too frequently, but a few weeks ago, I had just poured some boiling hot water out of the kettle into a saucepan and replaced the kettle back on the worktop. I then realised I had put it a little too close to the edge. I suppose it was the smashing sound that gave it away really. Although the main body of the kettle survived my clumsiness, most of the handle had disintegrated, which is not particularly a good thing with a kettle. I realised I could not use the kettle without a handle, so I had no option but to go on the hunt for a new one. Well, it didn't take me ...  Read the complete review

All I wanted was a new Kettle; the old one was looking a tad worn after God knows how many years of use. Why do they have to make so many different types, there must be hundreds of them (I’d much sooner Review Whisky any day – at least you get to taste it…). All I wanted was a kettle that boiled water, it didn’t have to be as high tech as the space shuttle – just a kettle. So I thought go to Sainsbury’s have a choice of a couple get one that looked half decent (I suspect this may be a familiar story to some), I didn’t particularly care how long it takes to boil or how much it holds (it’s just had got to hold enough), I didn’t even think about how heavy it got ...  Read the complete review

About 8 months ago, my wife surprised me by spending nearly two days studying kettles (yes kettles), apparently our old one was no longer any use and we needed a new one. Now this came as a surprise to me because I used the kettle every day and when I put water in it and switched it on, it boiled the water which to me hinted that it was working just fine. My wife was adamant however that the kettle was no good so we were having a new one, why it was taking her two days of studying the Argos catalogue and online reviews to choose a kettle was a mystery to me but it ended up in us buying the Breville JK82 Lightning White Kettle. I must ...  Read the complete review

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 inside. Both side are clear which allows a good 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 ...  Read the complete review

I am fed up of my Kettle so thought I would share it with you my parents initally purchased the kettle for christmas 2007 and this is the third kettle that we have and since we had the first one the models have changeds slightly although they still haven't dealt with the real problems. Firstly I will describe the plus points of the kettle to you it is fairly attractive although the lights do tend to draw the attention of youngsters to the kettle so not altogether a complete positive. The keepwarm system was a godsend when my daughter was a baby as it meant there was always hot water for the bottles although it was definately not designed with my husband in ...  Read the complete review
