Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The Breville JK73 brushed stainless steel jug kettle combines modern design with high performance. It is high wattage--3 kilowatt (kW)--keeping the boiling time short to save you time and has a concealed element. This makes it easier to clean and more energy efficient than an immersed element, requiring a lower minimum water level in order to function safely. It has a capacity of 1.7 litres (l) and so can accommodate about six to eight cups--ideal for families. The JK73 is designed with a large water window indicating water level to help you fill the kettle to the desired amount. And this window illuminates blue to red when boiling, making it easier to judge the correct amount and giving your kettle a sophisticated style. It also features a Keep Warm function which ensures the water is always ready to use--ideal for busy breakfasts, refills during the commercial break and more. The kettle is fitted with a non-slip, 360° rotational base for left and right-handed usage and cord storage to keep your kitchen worktop fuss-free.

Very fast boiling kettle and very impressed initially. It was bought for the fact the kettle lights up red when hot and blue when not. Due to my eyesight problems I thought this would work well. The trouble is the red light goes out as soon as the kettle has boiled, not when the water has cooled as I initially thought. So the lights are more of a gimmick than usefull.
After around 10 months the blue light started flashing constantly (much to the amusement of friends) for a week then stopped all together.
It is now 12 months old and cannot be left while boiling as it has stopped turning itself off on the boil! Great, I get to babysit a kettle!
It was the best of a bad bunch at the time of purchase. Kettle's are just so poorly made these days. Is there such a thing as a kettle NOT made in China??

We have had two of these kettles within one month with the same fault. It appears there is a design fault which causes the lid to open while boiling or while pouring each could result in a severe burn. I suggest you keep well away from this kettle

One of my best friends has this kettle, which I use on a daily basis, and I think it's fantastic (Funnily enough it hasn't had one fly in it, as it's impossible for anything to enter the kettle).
It boils water very fast, and I love how the lid just pops open with the touch of a button (rather than having to manually open the lid which on some kettles can be quite hard). Also the lid is connected, so you don't have to worry about it accidentally falling on the floor, or misplacing it somewhere. The boil button is situated at the bottom of the handle, and feels quite sturdy when pressed - you don't feel like it's going to go flying at any minute!
It's quite cool how it illuminates the blue light, and then a red light when it's boiling.
Another cool feature is the keep the water warm button, but I have to say I have never had the need to use it so far.
It also has a very comfortable handle, and feels nice to carry and pour.
I am going to buy one of these for myself asap, as I think it's a great kettle - and I already have the matching toaster lol!

Stay right away from this kettle unless you enjoy the frisson of excitment that comes from waiting for the lid to flip open and give you a face full of steam. Read more
