Breville JK56 Cordless Electric Kettle

Learn from my mistake. When de-scaling one of these, use only the mildest solution. The de-scaler will eat away the seal around the glass causing it to leak.

Having had to replace my current kettle (due to water leaking onto the electric supply plate !) I was cautious about buying another which would do likewise. However, I managed to get a good look at a display model and found that the Breville JK56 was well designed and appeared to be well manufactured. The handle is a good size and easily balanced when the kettle is full. It is also easy to fill using the spout (which also contains a filter for hard water areas). The fast boil is an added bonus - although I didn't notice much difference between my last 2K and this 3k model - so don't expect that instant cup of coffee ! Additionaly, it illumuinates a nice blue glow (which does add a bit of cheer first thing) !
