Breville Spectra

The Breville spectra is the new generation of kettles mixing the functionality of a kettle with the soothing effect of soft "ever changing" lighting. I have bought my breville about 5 months ago mainly due to the fact that my last kettle was on its last legs due to having a baby and the constant need for boiling water (I think it just had enough). The Breville kettle was not my first choice as I wanted something completely stainless steel to match some of my appliances (if you have to replace something it might as well match-what I told my husband). I saw the Kettle in one of my catalogues and was quite intrigued by it. It was stainless steel ...  Read the complete review

We bought this kettle because we had some vouchers for Currys given to us for Christmas, and our old one expired on Boxing Day!. We bought this kettle and apart from the pretty lights, it is aweful. The lid pops open once the kettle has boiled, meaning that scalding hot steam can burn your hand if you are are not aware of what is about to happen. The keep-warm facility is pointless, as to make a decent brew you need boiling water, and frankly I'm surprised that these days a manufacturer would deem it ecologically acceptable to provide this feature. Thirday, and worst of all, our one failed after approx' 8 weeks use, with some form of electrical problem ...  Read the complete review

Reasons For Purchasing The Breville Spectra ************************************* I have had the Breville Spectra kettle for around three years now and thought it was about time I wrote a review about it and to let everyone know my thoughts and opinions on it. Well I bought this Spectra kettle after I had seen it on offer in Argos for just under £40. I thought this was a great bargain for what this kettle did and had on board it.. I was first drawn to this kettle really, because it had an illuminated light feature that goes through a spectrum of colours when it is plugged in. Not very energy efficient I know, but I thought this sounded a really funky and trendy ...  Read the complete review

Tea is the only thing that is keeping me alive at the moment - I don't seem to be sleeping much and I'm not eating much (don't worry I'm not ill - just busy). Over the last few weeks we've noticed that our faithful old breville kettle was starting to die in as much as it wasn't cutting out - great for steam cleaning the tiles but not so good on the kettle or our electric bill! And finally today it gave up the ghost and I had to hold a little ceremony for it as I put it on the ever growing pile of items to be taken to the local tip. It was sad as it had lived with us for 4 years and expired just as I was gagging for a brew which compounded the misery but I ...  Read the complete review

***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 ...  Read the complete review
