Reviewing: JK450 leak

I agree with all the comments from the other reviews. Now the bad news. Just as you are beginning to love this kettle it starts to leak like every other kettle on the market and as usual it happens just after the warranty has run out. I decided to strip the kettle down to see where the leak was ...

Reviewing: Looks good but cannot reccomend

Basic idea is good - no water level indicator to leak as whole body shows how full kettle is. From the start it was a bad pourer and needed to have the lid raised to avoid water spilling everytime it was used. After 15 months use it has now decided to leak from the base over the electrics and ...

Reviewing: Switching off!

This kettle has on several occasions not switched off and continued boiling. Could be dangerous! Am returning it to Bennetts as we only bought it one month ago....

Reviewing: JK450 kettle

THIS IS 100%! STARTS BOILING IMMEDIATELY, AFTER BOILING, THE PAD CUTS OFF AND NO SIZZLING OR STEAM WHEN YOU POUR. SO QUICK, SO GOOD! BUY THIS AND YOU WONT BE SORRY! LUV IT! P.S. JUST WATCHING IT BOIL WITH ITS BLUE LIGHT IS THERAPEUTIC ESPECIALLY IN A DARK KITCHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!...

Reviewing: Possible design fault?

I sought out and purchased a Kenwood SK900 kettle some time ago and was very pleased with the looks and performance. The kettle boiled rapidly and was relatively quiet in operation. A significant advantage proved to be the accurate water level gauge, which allowed the kettle to be filled with just ...

Reviewing: Can't believe this was ever user tested

This kettle looks great, but isn't really suitable as a device for boiling water: 1) Its capacity is much less than outward appearance would suggest 2) The level indicator is practically impossible to read from any distance, resulting in under or over filling 3) The lid is difficult to fit 4) ...

Reviewing: looks terrific

Sleek and elegant on the worktop, it has a solid look. A great shape and I love that ring on the handle. Nothing plastic. Good chunky rubber handle. Downside is that the brushed metal scratches rather easily, the detachable lid fixes with two small ball catches into 2 notches and is fiddly to ...
