Breville Lightning Kettle

We have had a Breville Lightening Kettle for a couple of years now and it has proved a good but. We paid about £40 for it at the time so it was not cheap. We opted for the stainless steel one rather than the white colour in the picture above. It certainly looks stylish although you do have to constantly clean it as it does show the marks on the stainless steel frame, it has a very stylish black handle however teh really cool thing is that when you switch it on it lights up a bright blue colour. This would be a good safety feature who cannot hear the noise of teh kettle boiling as well. The kettle can hold 1.7 litres of water which is enough to ...  Read the complete review

It's only a couple of years ago that we bought an expensive Dualit kettle in the hope that it would last a lot longer than its cheaper plastic cousins. Three months ago rust started peeling off the inside and I knew that I needed a new kettle urgently - chewy coffee is not my thing. I went down the list of best-selling kettles on Amazon and bought the first one that was available for immediate delivery. The Breville Lightning was on the working surface a couple of days later at a cost of some £26. I know that you can get a basic electric jug kettle for a lot less than £26, but this is a well-constructed superior kettle. The first thing that struck me was that ...  Read the complete review

Making a kettle sound interesting and exciting is a pretty tall order – at the end of the day a kettle is just a kettle, a means to an end to get a cuppa, right? Wrong! The Breville Lightning Kettle is more exciting than your average fairground ride – its got the lot- flashing lights, eerie lighting effects, visual effects…oh and you can use it to make drinks too, which is more than you could say for the Ghost Train! How much excitement do you want for £38.50? … I wasn’t desperately in need of a new kettle, I must admit, my old one was still functional, but then I saw my friends new kettle – the Breville Lightning and I was sold – ITS GOT FLASHING ...  Read the complete review

I had just got home after a long tiring shopping trip. All I wanted was a nice cup of tea. Mmmmm. I went into my kitchen put the kettle on and POP! Why is it that kettles always wait for you to want your cuppa most before they decide not to work? Well after trying all the usual things (unplugging it, plugging back in, shaking it and then banging it on the work top) Before throwing it in the bin in disgust. I had no choice but to buy another. My search took me to Argos after looking at many different makes, I settled on the ?Breville lighting?. It seemed all singing and all dancing. The main thing that attracted me to the kettle was that it had a keep hot ...  Read the complete review

After a number of year my once immaculately white kettle was beginning to look like it belonged on a building site and as it was a hand me down that I have had ten years of service from I could not really complain so I decided to use some of my hard earned Amazon vouchers to buy a stylish funky little model and to get a kettle at the same time. The Breville Lightning electric kettle certainly looked the part in the pictures and when I got it out of the box I was very pleased with my choice. Now I do not use my kettle much so I wanted something that did the job but more importantly looked cool and initially I was impressed. I opted for the stainless steel body ...  Read the complete review
