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

We've just replaced our lovely Breville Spectra kettle after owning it for around seven years, I'm gutted actually so am writing this as a kind of tribute - well, not really but I'm definitely sad to see it go. What makes the Breville Spectra special is the lightshow that occurs the whole time the kettle is plugged in. When the water is cold the light shines blue, when it's boiling it's red - sounds very basic doesn't it, but during the time between you boiling the water and it cooling again it'll run through a gorgeous range of colours including a stunning emerald green and hot pink. It's absolutely gorgeous, very striking and mildly hypnotic if you spend ...  Read the complete review

We've had this kettle for about 4 years now and it's still going strong, actually it's in my bedroom now because my mum bought a new kettle a few months ago and this one was too cool to get rid of so I nabbed it so I could make myself a coffee in my room whenever I fancied one. It's made by Breville and when we bought it was about £80.00, the price has come down big time now though and on Amazon you can now buy the Spectra kettle for £39.99. The kettle is stainless steel and if you look at the photo Dooyoo have got up you'll see the green light, this changes through a few different colours and that makes the kettle look like no other I've seen. ...  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
