Breville JK-33 Review

Breville JK 33 - Looks good and heats well but after more than a year's use there are two problems:

- first, water now leaks very slowly out through the bottom of the plastic see-through window. Only found this out when I came back after a weekend away and the wooden countertop had a dark stain. So, the plastic/metal seal will not remain in good shape



- second, the handle always remains warm. not sure what the point of this is but it does seem a waste of energy and very un-environmental. Surely no one has ever down-rated a kettle because the handle wasn't heated.



Long and the short is that after a year of use I need to replace this and won't be finding another Breville model like this.
