Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
When you buy an appliance, you commit to paying both the first cost and the operating cost for as long as you own it. And over the life of an appliance, the energy cost will most probably run to many times greater than the initial price you paid for it. So it pays to buy an energy-efficient appliance.
According to independent testing, the Kenwood Energy Sense JK455 Clear Jug Kettle allows for up to 35% energy saving due to Kenwood’s improved element technology combined with clear visibility, which helps you boil the water you need and no more. The clear light weight, polycarbonate body, wide angled spout and secure hinged lid allows for easy filling and pouring.
In addition, the Energy Sense JK455’s angled graduations with tilt handle and 1 cup measurement means that you can fill the kettle with the exact water quantity everytime, filling a little and saving a lot. You can boil up to 1.7 litres (or 8 cups) at a time.
The JK455 has the added convenience of a removable fine mesh filter to prevent limescale entering your drinks as well as a 360° power base, cord storage and illuminated power switch for safety and clarity.

Great product for all the reasons every reviewer has given. (It did, however, make the water taste for the first few boilings, but that problem has gone away.)
After 6 months, the kettle started to dribble when pouring. The problem is reduced, but not eliminated, by cleaning the joint between the lid and the main kettle. I think it's a design fault, and will not be easily cured.
This kettle is a real innovation, but alas I'm going to have to return it under guarantee.

I had a very sad rubbish overpriced Philips kettle that leaked after a very little while and I intended to go for a Bosch as i've had good experiences with their stuff. But after a touchy - feeley session in John Lewis, went with this one.
It is just very practical, super-clear view of how much water you need, leading to unbelievably quick cuppas. The little chap clicks off very soon after boiling and I think that I'll probably be saving a fortune on the leccy bill (relatively!). Probably the hardest thing is getting used to putting so little water in. Overall, its great!

We've had this kettle about 3 weeks now, and the difference from a standard kettle is remarkable. We use much less water, boil it for far less time and as a result save a fair bit of power (I haven't actually checked, but it seems self explanatory!).
I've read the other reviews on Amazon, and can add my own opinions on two matters: the lid, and chlorine:
The lid is a little bit dodgy - it is now harder to open than previously (to begin with it worked like a dream: spring-loaded so it opens wide to make filling from tap, mug, jug or whatever very easy). I suspect this was caused by closing it with too much force, although you would hope a kettle could withstand this lack of care. On balance I think it would still be okay if we had known to begin with that we had to treat it with more care than normal.
I haven't noticed any chlorine taste or smell, so I suspect this is a peculiarity of the location of the reviewers? We live in Oxford and I can honestly say that it hasn't been a problem.
I hope this review helps - I think this is a good buy.
