Kenwood JK450 Cordless Electric Kettle

Boils water extremely quickly, easy to clean.

Had it for over 6 years and it is perfect!

I use it everyday, constantly.

Kenwood is the best!

Not even two years since I bought this kettle and am very disappointed. Chose Kenwood because of it's good reputation...what a joke!! Leaks all over the place, the only good thing about it is the design. Good-looking kettle poor performance.

This is a nice looking transparent stainless steel effect kettle, but thats where the compliments end! I got this kettle as an exchange for a similar 'Millennium' kettle which leaked and dribbled - now after less than 2 years the new one has the exact same problems. From new, if you pour immediately after boiling, a considerable amount of boiling water dribbles down the side from the spout unless you pour very very slowly! Water is now leaking from the kettle onto the electric connection base which cannot be too safe, just as the old one did! They tell me that I should be descaling the kettle more often - bit difficult when there is no obvious sign of scale except the white flakes creeping out from the joints outside the kettle! Too late by then me thinks! Unless you are OK with buying a kettle every 2 years don't buy this one!

The main body of the Kenwood JK450 Cordless Electric Kettle developed cracks soon after bought although treated carefully. Thereafter the flooding just got worse and worse. Mopping up was continuous

Shame that the very good eco kettle and nice style was let down by the simple requirement to hold water without having it leak all over the kitchen

Bought my Cordless Kenwood JK450 in May-08 and the seal between water-holder and base has failed flooding the kitchen. Poor quality product from Kenwood, not what you'd expect. Give it a miss!

with this Kenwood JK450 I need a mop & bucket every day beside worktop, it leaks like the titanic!
