Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The Breville VKJ385 polished 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 1.5 litres (l) and so can accommodate about five to seven cups--ideal for families. The VKJ385 is designed with a rear water gauge indicating water level to help you fill the kettle to the desired amount. The switch illuminates blue on boiling giving your kettle a sophisticated style. 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.

Good looking kettle matching our Breville 4 slice toaster. Works very well, quick and quiet and easy to use.
Only drawback is the water level indicator - although tucking it under the handle contributes a lot aesthetically, it is quite difficult to see unless you have very bright lighting. However it doesn't take very long to get used to gauging the water level without using the indicator, so I guess the degree of problem is a personal thing.
Great service from Amazon!

breville VKJ385 polished stainless steel jug kettle,
we had this kettle before, excellent and very quick boiler
maybe the on/off switch could be made a bit more robust
the light in the switch is a good improvement

After having had four other top of range modern kettle in the past five years I had become very disappointed that I could not seem to buy and everyday kettle that did not end up leaking and or would not turn off when boiled. So I bought this one as middle of the range half expecting I will need to replace in a year or so, we will have to wait and see! I must say first impression is that it is a good looking very functional metal chrome kettle that boils quickly and is relatively silent with a good firm on/off blue lit switch, so no real complaints yet.
A couple of small negatives, the flip top hinged opening top only opens half way up meaning you need to take little extra care when filling it with water. Secondly the water level window is as good as useless as it in positioned behind the handle and can only be viewed by picking the kettle up and holding it round trying to keep your hand from obstructing the small thin viewing window. This does not bother me too much as it is just as easy to flip the lid open and look down into the kettle. Also I have found on all the previous kettles that these water level windows are a point of weakness as often as not this is where the leaks occur, so having just one small one like this for me reduces the leak risk so it did not put me off although it might not suite everybody. Overall a good value smart looking very functional kettle.

Good, fast boiling kettle; well shaped & heavy enough to feel stable and yet not so heavy as to be too much of an effort to lift. Read more

Great kettle
Great kettle, boils well. Non drip spout. Only negative is you cannot see the amount of water in the water level indicator as it it not easily viewable, although this is minor.

Does what is says on the box
Boils water quickly. Does what it says on the box, no surprises there. Not very large capacity but that's what I wanted, something compact and small for my flat.
