Kenwood SJM330

Loved it. Stylish, quiet, well illuminated ON switch and seems quick to boil. Our was bought as a wedding gift in March 2009 and has now packed up (Nov 2014). Pleased enough with it & will buy another one.

I have been really disappointed with the kenwood kettle SJM330. My second one has just broken down. I bought the first kettle of this type 2 years ago and it just stopped working after 6 months. Since it was still under warranty i had it replaced free of charge. The replacement has now gone wrong after 18 months - it cuts out before reaching boiling point. So I am fed up since the warranty has expired and i will have to fork out for a new one.

Don't buy this model!

It's stylish, the water level is clearly marked so you can easily use enough water for just one cup, it glows blue when heating up and does all a kettle should do. Most importantly, it doesn't wake me up in the morning when the other half is going off in the early hours! Just have to see if it continues to perform.

The Kenwood SJM330 is an absolute brilliant kettle. We just had to throw our old one out after about 6-7 years, because it started to leak at the waterlevel indicator window. If that hadn't happened it would've received 10/10 from us! Looked for a new one, didn't like most or thought they were too expensive. Then found the SJM330 again, while we thought it probably wouldn't be made anymore. The kettle boils really quick, it's very quiet, has a good waterlevel indicator window that shows from the minimum amount to the maximum (not, like some, starting to show the level when it's already been filled up with a litter of water), is ideal for left and right hand use, has a large opening for filling up, a removable filter and has a nice matt stainless steel finish.
